ASPECTS OF GLOBALIZATION

Buca, Niña PauleneBeronio, Glory Salma

Globalization is a process by which the experience of everyday life, marked by the diffusion of commodities and ideas, is becoming standardized around the world.

Factors that have contributed to globalization include increasingly sophisticated communications and transportation technologies and services, mass migration and the movement of peoples, a level of economic activity that has outgrown national markets through industrial combinations and commercial groupings that cross national frontiers, and international agreements that reduce the cost of doing business in foreign countries.

Experts have accurately identified techno-economic globalization as the precursor of other forms of globalization, such as transnational cultural exchanges. That is, the open and expanding market, in a synergistic relationship with technology (including scientific developments), has given rise to concomitant political, institutional, social, intellectual, and diplomatic changes.

EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION

• There is a realization of a global common market, based on the freedom of exchange of goods and capital.

• Further, in the job market, employees compete indirectly in a global job market. In the past, the economic fate of workers was tied to the fate of national economies.

• This refers to the rise and expansion of multinational and transnational enterprises.
