...ASSESS THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON GENDER EQUALITY IN THE PHIILIPPINES Our world today is fast changing than ever and one of the greatest change we are experiencing is related to globalization. “The term globalization is widely used to describe a variety of economic, cultural, social and political change that have shaped the world over the last fifty (50) years (Guttal, 2010).” It is treated to be the product of fast phasing technological change, societal and economic progress. Song (2006) likewise claims that globalisation “encompasses myriad fluid networks of increased human communication and interaction, global consciousness, system of interdependence and societal restructuring with far reaching consequences” (Song 2006, cited by Metcalfe and Reese, 2010). But when doesglobalisation begun in the Philippines? Does it come during the Spaniard colonization, the American occupation or probably during the arrival in Manila of thosestately galleons from Mexico. According to O’Rourke and Williamson, globalisation existed even during the time of Columbus, but its dramatic change in almost all parts of the world has been felt only during the dawn of the nineteenth century (O'Rourke& Williamson,2004). As globalization progresses in the Philippines, it had brought both positive and negative impacts specifically on women. Women has always been considered in the context of globalization, since they are the ones who always suffers itsnegative impact. Hence...

...Globalization, the Feminization of Labor, and Women’s Resistance: Convergence and Divergence in the Global North and the Global South Globalization is considered to be one of the most important forces of change in contemporary society, ushering in greater integration and interdependency within countries and facilitating the unprecedented expansion of the global economy. However, globalization also creates uneven outcomes and widens the gap between the global North and South. A key-defining feature of globalization is the restructuring of production, made contingent by the increased competition between firms and corporations. The global restructuring process of production has a tremendous impact on labor relations within countries and directly affects women’s work. For one, the restructuring of production to reflect a global division of labor reflect and reinforce economic disparities between the global North and the global South through the changing nature of employment and labor force requirements. Likewise, global restructuring inevitably result in patterns of flexibilization and feminization of labor (Gills, 2002, p. 107). In particular, the tendency towards the feminization of labor in the new global economy has resulted in “the devaluing of jobs, the shift from full time to part time, the shift from jobs with upward mobility to dead end jobs, the increasing informality/casualization of the labor force” (Nagar, et. al., 2002, p. 263). The changes brought about by...

...GLOBALISATION AND ITS IMPACT ON CULTURE Globalization can be defined as the removing of borders and barriers to facilitate easy exchange of ideas, resources and knowledge between countries. Communication is the essence of Globalization. Without communication, globalization is not possible. Globalization was introduced to India in 1991,when Manmohan Singh signed the New Economic Policy , when the Indian government introduced a set of reforms for the ailing Indian economy to prevent it from going to further crisis. These reforms were the Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization reforms. Since 1991, we have seen major changes in India. Globalization has opened India to the world and has brought in the much needed exposure. Globalization has had impacts in the economic, social, cultural and political ways of India. The most significant remains the impact of globalization on the economic sector. India has seen tremendous growth since 1991. India is one of the fastest growing countries in the world and that is all due to the reforms undertaken in 1991. The role of Multi -National Corporations (MNC’s) is very significant in the Indian scenario. The MNC’s were brought in by Globalization. Indian shores were attacked by the Chinese ships , and their products dominated the markets at first. But now , after Globalization , it’s a flat world , where in raw material , labour is picked up where it is cheap and all functions like marketing , manufacturing...

...Globalization is a series of social, economical, technological, cultural, and political changes that promote interdependence and growth. Globalization raises the standard of living in developing countries, spreads technological knowledge, and increases political liberation. (Harris 5-23) The main cause of globalization is influence from other, more developed, countries. Globalization is a historical process that results from human innovation and technological progress. The social effects of globalization are clearly illustrated in Peru. Once a third-world country filled with poverty and oppression, Peru is now transitioning into a developed nation. In Peru, globalization has raised the human development index, empowered women, and created a stronger country. (Leon 90-91) One of the benefits of globalization on a social level is an increased Human Development Index. The Human Development Index is a measurement of a country's social, political, and economical growth in comparison to other countries in the world. The Human Development Index rates each country with a score between 0 and 1, with 1 being the most advanced, globalized country. Factors that are involved in determining a country's HDI are gross domestic production per capita, life expectancy at birth, adult literary, and the number of persons enrolled in educational institutions. In 1975, Peru's Human Development Index was a 0.643. By 2003, the Human Development Index had risen more than one tenth to 0.762. The substantial...

...The Impact of Globalization on Dubai’s Development The globalization of Dubai marks a new stage in the history of a city founded as a small fishing village. Mr. Colin Taylor’s presentation, “Current Trends in Business Globalization” on Dubai, has explained the impact of globalization on Dubai’s economic development, culture and gender equality. The economic development of Dubai has been impacted by globalization trends in many different ways. The most noticeable way in which Dubai has entered the global economy is through its success in attracting tourism and attention to the city. As Mr. Colin Taylor showed three photos in his presentation, the “Burj Al-Brab” hotel, the only seven-star hotel in the world, has become an international symbol of Dubai. In addition, the “Palm Jumeirah” is an ongoing $1.5 billion project to create the largest man-made island in the Arabian Gulf with exclusive hotels, residences shops and entertainment facilities. This development is shaped like a palm tree, “one of Dubai’s most enduring symbols of life and abundance.” Dubai is now also home to the world’s tallest building, the “Burj Khalifa”, which provides luxury office suites, living suites and restaurants. Another way that globalization has affected Dubai’s economy is through international sports. The city has become increasingly known for its hosting of sporting events that offer large monetary prizes. For example, Dubai’s Nad-al-Sheba Racecourse hosts the Dubai World Cup, the world’s richest...

...GLOBALIZATION AND ITS IMPACT ON INFORMAL SECTOR Submitted By: Ameen Gupta- 2009tt10774 Parvej- 2009tt10813 Siddarth Sachdeva- 2009ph10746 INTRODUCTION Globalization comes up with the process of more interconnection between various entities like nations, organizations, individuals, etc. This interaction creates the migration of human resources, technology transfer, capital flow, etc. Thereby, this process of globalization results in the increase in quality, quantity or production and thus makes various organizations profitable. In the race of survival, it enhances the competition level among various players in terms of their brand value set according to the needs of the people. This phenomenon of competition plays a crucial role for these existing service providing players as well as for the end consumer or public at large. For service providing players, it decides the cost benefit analysis and makes it less generally due to the presence of various other players simultaneously. For public, it makes things easily available and at comparatively low prices of varied varieties. The phenomenon of globalization also generates employment. These jobs are largely created in formal sectors. It also results in employment increase in the informal sector. The formal sector is directly visible in a country and is under scrutiny and supervision of the government through various trade and tax laws.

...Impact of Globalization on Cultural Practices Shelley Gutierrez, RNC Student ID: 391502 Sgutie6@wgu.edu 02-08-2015 Impact of Globalization on Cultural Practices Globalization has had different impacts on communities, but the most impact has been felt on countries’ cultures. The advent of technology has seen globalization spread to the furthest end of the earth and has even affected the most indigenous of communities today (Mishra, 2008). For the purpose of achieving the objective of this paper, the three native non-western cultures that have been impacted by globalization are Zimbabweans culture, Chinese culture and the Indians culture. They represent the extent that globalization is likely to go on transforming the lives of people. In the Zimbabwean culture, women have been the ones involved in agricultural roles. However, with trade liberalization has seen the act of, not helping women in their agricultural endeavors, and food security has been threatened in the country. The effect of this has been that women in Zimbabwe have resorted to cross-border trade by that leaving fathers behind with the children. To this extent, children do not sit around the fires to listen to stories from their grandparents that are meant to promote love, peace, and respect as they culturally used to engage. Fathers, on the other hand, take part in extramarital affairs by that eroding the moral fabric of these communities culture. The conventional Chinese is characterized by the...

...Globalization Tonya Waters Issues in Behavioral Science David Ouellette May 18, 2014 Globalization is the process of erasing national boundaries for economic purposes in order to create one global economy. This process is driven by free trade and the mobility of capital in order to trade goods, human labor, natural resources and investments. Globalization increases competition, creates jobs and increases economic growth. There is much debate however regarding the implications of globalization. While some welcome the integration as an opportunity to grow economically, others view globalization as the disintegration of their culture and values. India and Cambodia are examples of cultures affected both positively and negatively by globalization. Cambodia has been experiencing rapid economic growth, largely supported by increased tourism and the exportation of farm products. Globalization has brought improved healthcare, education, nutrition and raised the standard of living for the Cambodian people. Life expectancy has increased and infant mortality has declined substantially. However, Cambodia’s strong economic growth is not without cost. The jungles of Cambodia are being destroyed for the purposes of planting industrial size agriculture crops. "The government of Cambodia has full control over what companies are permitted access to various land and fishing concessions in Cambodia. Many of the concessions are given without regard to how they will impact people's...

...Globalization & Women Komal (4789) Ruchi (4875) Lavanya (4642) WHAT IS GLOBALIZATION? It is the process of creating languages, services, and products that apply not just to an individual neighbourhood or city or country, but to the whole world. While one interpretation of globalization has to do with equal exchange and sharing of goods and services between countries and cultures, the reality of a globalized world is much different. Globalization is a phenomenon that crosses and erases geographical and political borders and makes all countries start to look the same. As a result of globalization, local products, services, and cultures disappear into a global culture, a culture defined not by the global citizenry but rather the world's economic and political superpowers - mostly North America-owned corporations. How does economic globalization work? Economic globalization is fueled by international trade agreements signed between nations. The goal of these agreements is to get rid of barriers to trade by allowing companies to move their factories to countries with the lowest labour and environmental standards, countries where they can produce their products the cheapest...

...Globalization Nowadays people have become closer than before. Services and goods produced in a country will be available to sell in the other countries. We hear about globalization in the news every day, read about it in the news papers and hear people talking about it. Globalization is the interactively international and nearness of economies. The world is not a large and strange place anymore. We live in a place that is interconnected and intertwined. The world has become from a place that each country and their peoples are separate and isolated to a place that each country and their peoples are part of a global network. Thanks to globalization this is occurring. It is the process that has led to the diverse parts of the globe becoming much closer to each other (Slaughter and Swagel, 1997). Globalisation is the procedures by which the people around the world become connected to each other in all aspects of life, culturally, technically and politically, economically and environmentally.
