Course Description
This course introduces to the students
the contemporary world by examining
the multifaceted phenomenon of
globalization. Using the various
disciplines of the social sciences, it
examines the economic, social, political,
technological, and other transformations
that have created an increasing
awareness of the interconnectedness of
peoples and places around the globe.
This course provides an overview of the
various peace negotiations in global
governance and sustainable
development. Beyond exposing the
students to the world outside the
Philippines, it seeks to inculcate a sense
of global citizenship that upholds peace-
loving and global responsibility.

The epochs that preceded today’s globalization paved
way for people, things, information, and places to
harden over time. Consequently, they have limited
mobility (Ritzer, 2015). The social relationship and
objects remained they were created. Solidity also
refers to barriers that prevent or make difficult the
movement of things. Furthermore, solids can either
be natural or manmade. Examples of natural solids
are landforms and bodies of water.

Understanding Glocalization
Create an image showing your connections to the rest of the world based on the music you listen
to, using the following questions.
○ What’s the origin of the most recent song or piece of music that you listened to? (Identify
the nationality of the creator of the music as well as the tradition to which it belongs.)
○ What technology do you most commonly use to listen to music?
○ Where is the technology made? Where is the company that owns the technology based?
○ How have you obtained music – online purchases or physically bought from retail
outlets?
Collect class data in relation to this and then make generalisations about any patterns in the data.
Do certain countries predominate in terms of musical choices and/or owning or making
technology? Which types of technology are most commonly used? Is online or physical shopping
more popular?
Create a visual representation of your generalisations (eg using graphs or a mapping tool)
