How is Globalization affected the Philippines?

Globalization, or the increased interconnectedness and interdependence of peoples and

countries, is generally understood to include two inter-related elements. Globalization of the
financial sector has become the most rapidly developing and most influential aspect of economic
globalization. According to Paul belleza (Professor of Economics, AdU) “Globalization is
actually happening right now across the globe, so many evidences to prove that. Globalization is
a widespread. If you’re going to observe the commodities, goods, and services available in the
markets. The reason why we are enjoying its because of the widespread access to different
markets of different countries.” The following happened in the Philippines due to globalization.
Further decrease in some of the older Filipino traditions. Western practices and mentality are
becoming more common. Rise of Business Process Outsourcing to the Philippines. The BPO
industries have significantly helped increase the country’s GDP. The Philippines has stolen the
title Call Center capital of the world from India years ago. Consumerism mentality. Mass
media are widely distributed and it can easily make an influence worldwide. International brands
are more accessible locally too (e.g., iPhone, Starbucks). Globalization refers to the absence of
barriers that every country had. Yes, it has helped to demolish the walls that separated us
.Globalization, which is the process of growing interdependence among every country in this
planet, can be seen as a sign of hopeful and better future by some, but for others it represents a
huge disaster for the whole world. That’s why we are going to see the negative effect that
globalization has on culture then focus on the ethical disadvantage it brought. Globalization and
the Economy “It has been said that arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of
gravity.”(Annan). Throughout humanities existence culture and valuable items have always been
exchanged through trade between various groups and tribes that are located near one another, today
is no different. In the modern world the exchange of those goods and cultural values have started to
be traded at a much faster rate, this can be attributed to the increased role that globalization…

In the Philippines, globalization has brought many job opportunities to all Filipino
people. The government encourages foreign companies to establish business and open many jobs
to Filipino worker even abroad. The impact of globalization helps the Philippines community to
be more aware of what happens to the Philippines, it also gives the idea to many Filipino people
to have more knowledge and information on the Philippines society. At present globalization is
more effective in the Philippines, it helps to improve the local and foreign companies, the
culture, the education, and the development of the economy. Globalization is the growth of
international trade, investment, technology and information all over the world. It is the merge of
all Asian countries with each other. Technology is a big factor of globalization. The advanced
and modern technology can help each nation to access borders and top increase the economic
growth of each country. Globalization expands more in terms of the social, cultural, legal, and
political. Each country has its own cultural globalization and they represent and exchange it to
other countries about the new ideas and values of their country. They also share the development
of their country and help some country if needed.

In the Philippines, globalization is important on how it works in the economy and the
development of the technology. Globalization helps each country to have a cooperation to help
each other and be united. Globalization is formed to process of goods, services, and people
around the worlds. It works to every people to move and work in a different country as well as
the goods of each country can also be imported and exported to a different country and
destination. It helps every nation to develop a global economy and increase the income of each
country. Also, globalization can be mean to liberalize each country their rule and regulation to
follow, people can enter to a different country as long they follow the rules and law of the
country they when to or work to. Globalization works to each country through the World Trade
Organization and the United Nation because the international law is created and enforce.
Globalization help to developing countries to their industrial, manufacturing, improvements, and
economic expansion of living. It is also the interaction of all economies of the world in terms of
the financial transaction, political, educational, trade and manufacturing production. However,
Globalization can have a disadvantage and also the advantage to each country. Globalization
can have more opportunities to increase in employment. This advantage of globalization can
help the Philippines to increase the employment of Filipino people because of the opportunities
that many foreign countries put up a business here and many job vacancies for Filipino are
available. There are a lot of multinational companies who really open up business in the
Philippines and hire many Filipino people to work at their companies. Also, globalization has an
advantage in opening jobs in abroad. There is a lot of overseas Filipino worker who is work
abroad and can be successful in working in another country. Because of the World Trade
Organization of the nation, each person can work in a different country and have the opportunity
to live there and be a citizen in the country they live in. In the Philippines, foreign companies are
build up here and many Filipino is now working in foreign companies. This means that
globalization really affects positively to the Philippines and to the economy of the Philippines.
Globalization can also help the Philippines education to improve more. In the Philippines
when it terms of education we improve more and we offer higher education and skilled people.
The education in the Philippines is now recognized outside the country. And many foreigners are
going here to study because the quality of education is higher while the cost is lower and can
accommodate all foreigner who wants to studies in the Philippines. One reason also is the lower
cost of living while studying here. The Filipino people are smart and can communicate well to
other foreigners. Speaking English in the Philippines is a natural language of Filipino because it
is one of the subjects of all schools. At present, the Philippines has a large outsourcing foreign
companies, especially in Metro Manila. Globalization improves the quality of goods and
services. Being connected to other country means good to our country. It helps to do good
quality and give the best services to them so that we bring dignity to the Filipino people.
Improving our services and give more quality goods and products to other countries can boost
the Philippines and its nation. The Philippines can offer a good quality product outside the
country and Filipino people can serve their best to others. Through globalization, the service of
goods and product is easily served and done to deliver it to each respective destination.

2nd question

Many authors now question the future of the modern nation-state system in an era in which
globalization is the dominant global trend. What are the different challenges do nation-states
face now?

THE PROBLEM IS NOT NATIONS, BUT NATION-STATES

15 January, by Pascal Letendre-Hanns

Nations, when understood in general terms, are political communities, an association of people.
Anderson famously defined the nation as an ’imagined community’ – literally the idea that you
could not actually physically know and meet all the members of this community and confirm that
you had an affinity with them, you simply had to imagine it was so. Whether you believe that
nations are tied to long, historic roots or that they are relatively recent creations, communities
formed by political actors like any other, it almost does not matter. The key point remains that
there is nothing intrinsic to the nation that is hostile to the idea of European unity and integration.

Instead, it is the nation-state that is really the force that does most to prevent the advance of a
peaceful, prosperous Europe. Nation-states are not an automatic requirement of the existence of
nations. There are numerous historical examples of multi-national states. Nation-states are in fact
the product of a deliberate nationalist programme. Here; nationalists declare that the nation must
be kept separate from other nations, its purity preserved, and that to share decision-making with
other nations would invite the death of the nation itself. The belief that we must enforce a global
system of division to ensure that nations are kept apart. It is a logic we would not accept from
any other community, whether racial or religious, yet is one that we obey unquestioningly when
it comes to nation-states.

And so this is the real trouble with the nation-state – it inevitably acts as an incubator for
nationalism. So long as you preserve the nation-state, you cannot rid yourself of nationalism
because one is the direct product of the other. And that means that the evils of nationalism, its
hate and violence, will also forever infect your politics. In Europe, where we have suffered so
much at the hands of nationalist fantasies, this should act as a serious warning. At best you can
hope to suppress it for a time but only in the knowledge that it could surge back into the forefront
of your state’s politics and culture at any time. This is a reality we are seeing unfold again in
Europe today. The only long-lasting solution must be to move away from the nation-state model,
to break out of the nationalist box that imprisons our attempts at imagining political organisation
fit for the 21st century, not the 19th.

Can it be done? Beyond the academic and moral flaw of blaming nations rather than nation-
states, there is also a tactical flaw. To attack the wrong target, and to pick a target that many
people are quite attached to, is inevitably counterproductive when trying to advance the goal of a
united Europe. The key is to break the link between the mere existence of the nation, the
presence of a coherent community, and the nation-state. We must remind people that they can
have one without the other, that they can enjoy the sense of belonging to a wider community
without imposing borders between themselves and other communities. We can live together
without being the same. Or, in the words of the European Union’s motto, we can be ’united in
diversity’.

Looking at the different summits that are taking place in our region this week, one cannot but be
inspired by the high-mindedness that seems to have summoned the world’s most powerful
statesmen to this part of the world at this time. Yet, one cannot miss the irony, too. Here gathered
are presidents and prime ministers purporting to offer collective solutions to humanity’s most
intractable problems — solutions that, alas, are ultimately drawn from the shallow well of their
respective national interests.
And that is because, whether they like it or not, the participants in these leaders’ summits remain
inescapably accountable to their national constituencies for what they commit at these
international gatherings. On such occasions, they may be seen engaging in warm and courteous
pleasantries with their hosts and interlocutors. But that’s the public side of these events. The text
of the agreements they actually sign at the end of these meetings may often be so loosely worded
as to yield nothing of any real consequence.

This is the paradox we confront today. The world’s political system remains segmented into
unequal nation-states. Yet, the problems the global system generates have become far too
complex for any nation-state, no matter how dominant, or, for any regional organization like
Asean or Apec, no matter how encompassing, to manage in any effective way. When push comes
to shove, every leader tends to fall back on his or her nation’s sovereign rights.
In most instances, behind the rhetoric of cooperation that permeates these gatherings, bilateral
talks take precedence over multilateral discussions. Even where agreements are concluded, it is
naive to assume that the personal assurances that leaders are heard to give to one another actually
find their way into the final texts of binding agreements. The latter are typically negotiated long
before any summit takes place. They are worked out in technical working groups by experts who
come to the bargaining table with a hard-nosed view of their national interests.
Name any issue: trade and investment, migration, freedom of navigation, climate change,
technical cooperation, terrorism, narcotics, human trafficking, etc. No position is conceded, no
privilege is extended, and no access is given without something expected in return. In all these
discussions, governments like to pretend they speak for the various interest groups in their
countries as though they had full control over them.

The reality, however, is that in almost every conceivable field, nation-state boundaries have long
been breached by the global nature of transactions and communications.
