GLOBALIZATION ON
CITIZENSHIP, CULTURE &
RELIGION
by: Elsie Joy Licarte-Misoles, LPT
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this lesson, the student is expected to:
explain the relationship of culture and global media;
analyze how various media drive various forms of global
integration and globalization;
elucidate the connection between religion and globalization; and
explicate the role of religion in promoting world peace
GLOBAL MEDIA CULTURES
The media have a very important impact on cultural
globalization in two mutually interdependent ways:
*Firstly, the media provide an extensive
transnational transmission of cultural products
and
*secondly, they contribute to the formation of
communicative networks and social structures.
•By definition, Global media is “the
mass communication on a global
level, allowing people across the world
to share and access the same
information.”
•It is indeed that technologies made
people’s lives easier all over the globe.
•Additionally, global media cultures create a
continuous cultural exchange, in which crucial
aspects such as identity, nationality, religion,
behavioral norms and way of life are
continuously questioned and challenged.
• Also, global media supports the creation of
new communities. For example, the internet, it
does not only facilitate communication across the
globe but also supports the formation of new
social communities in which members can interact
with one another.
•Further, the satellite TV and radio allow
immigrants to be in close contact with their
homeland’s language and culture while they
gradually accommodate to a new cultural
environment.
•In other words, media cultures take part in the
process of globalization, including how they
challenge existing cultures and create new and
alternative symbolic and cultural communities.
VARIOUS FORMS OF GLOBAL
INTEGRATION
• Global integration is the degree to which the
company is able to use the same products and
methods in other countries. Also, it is not a new
phenomenon in today’s contemporary world. Trade
took place between distant civilizations even in
ancient times.
• This globalization process in the economic domain has
not always proceeded smoothly as it only benefited to
whom it was offered. But, despite occasional
interruptions, the degree of economics integration
among different societies around the world has
generally been rising in the past half century.
•This scenario made possible some distant
places and countries to progress because
of the economic integration with the
other countries they have applied.
Factors affecting Economic Globalization:
Improvements in transportation and
communication technology have reduced
the cost of transporting goods, services
and factors of production;
•Taste of individual and society have
generally favored taking advantage of the
opportunities provided by declining costs
of transportation and communication
through economic integration; and
•The pace of economic integration has
been significantly influenced by public
policies.
•Thus, technology, tastes and public policy
have important influence on the pattern
and pace of economies in its various
dimensions.
THANK YOU!!!

GLOBALIZATION
and RELIGION
What is the relation of religion to
globalization?
First, it is the way on which globalization flattens
out cultural differences and second, it erodes local
customs and beliefs. At the same time, there is the
way in which religion serves as the source of
globalization’s greatest resistance and as haven for
those standing in opposition to its global yet often
subtle power.
• On the other hand, from religious or theological
perspectives, globalization calls forth religious
response and interpretation. Yet religion and religions
have also played important roles in bringing about and
characterizing globalization. Further, among the
consequences of this implication, religion have seen
that globalization encourages religious pluralism.
• Also, religions identify themselves in relation to one
another and they become less rooted in particular places
because of migrations and transnational ties.
Globalization further provides fertile ground for a variety
of noninstitutionalized religious manifestations and for
the development of religion as a political and cultural
resource.
Globalization Affects Religious
Practices and Beliefs
The Impact of Globalization
 Flattens cultural differences;
Erodes local customs and beliefs; and
Spreads secular, capitalist way of life.
WHAT IS RELIGION NOWADAYS?
No longer a set of beliefs that people arrive by
reflection;
A symbolic system which carries our identity and marks
out social/ethical and other boundaries;
Marks crucial moments in the life cycle with rituals; and
Provides powerful mechanisms for psychological and
social tension.
• Meanwhile, while religion, when properly used, can
certainly do a world of good and religion can harm the
world as well. Most recently, this has been exemplified by
the spread of extremist versions of Islam. Followers of this
version of the world's fastest-growing major religion
believe that anyone who doesn't think like them, including
fellow Muslims, can and should be hunted down and
exterminated.
• This has led to the rise of groups such as ISIS, which goes out
and tries to conquer as much of the world as possible, using
their religious beliefs as inspiration. In Africa, lots of clashes
and wars have been fought and continue to be fought between
people of Christian, Muslim, and indigenous faiths. All sides
have accused one another of atrocities, suppression of the
others' religion, and so on
ROLE OF RELIGION IN PROMOTING
WORLD PEACE
Religion has a definite role to play in people's search for world peace.
The moral principles and values contained in the teachings of great
religious teachers are essential factors for the reduction and ultimate
eradication of greed, hatred, and delusion—which form the root
cause of various conflicts and wars, both within and without. Within
oneself, these three evil or unwholesome roots bring about great
unrest in the mind, resulting in physical outbursts of violence
culminating in global warfare.
GLOBAL
CITIZENSHIP
• Global Citizenship nurtures personal respect and respect for
others, wherever they live. It encourages individuals to think
deeply and critically about what is equitable and just, and what
will minimize harm to our planet.
• Exploring Global Citizenship themes help learners grow more
confident in standing up for their beliefs, and more skilled in
evaluating the ethics and impact of their decisions.
• Also, global citizenship is about the shared human
experience. It acknowledges and celebrates that,
wherever we come from and wherever we live, we are
here together. Our well-being and success are
ultimately interdependent. We have more to learn from
one another than to fear about our future (Rinne,
2017).
Who are the Global Citizens?
A Global Citizen is someone who:
is aware of the wider world and has a sense of their
own role as a world citizen;
 respects and values diversity;
has an understanding of how the world works;
is outraged by social injustice;
participates in the community at a range of levels,
from the local to the global;
 is willing to act to make the world a more
equitable and sustainable place; and
 takes responsibility for their actions.
To be effective Global Citizens, young people need to be
flexible, creative and proactive. They need to be able to solve
problems, make decisions, think critically, communicate ideas
effectively and work well within teams and groups. These skills
and attributes are increasingly recognized as being essential to
succeed in other areas of 21st century life too, including many
workplaces.
Benefits of Global Citizenship
Global citizenship helps young people to:
build their own understanding of world events;
think about their values and what's important to them;
take learning into the real world;
challenge ignorance and intolerance;
get involved in their local, national and global
communities;
develop an argument and voice their opinions; and
see that they have power to act and influence the
world around them.
Global citizenship inspires and informs
teachers and parents, too. But above all, it
shows young people that they have a voice.
The world may be changing fast, but they can
make a positive difference - and help build a
fairer, safer and more secure.
Thank you for listening! 
