I think that globalization is about the different progress or development which the world experiences over the years. Globalization has transformed our lives of in a lot of ways. For instance, there is modern technology that helps in making our work a lot easier to do and finish. The doctors and other medical professionals can easily find a cure to some diseases or sickness through the medicines which they make so we can feel better. Students like me can find the information that we are looking for by means of using the internet as a resource. Gone are the days when we use the encyclopedias and other thick books. Moreover, we become more aware of what is going on because of media, who give us full access to the different happenings around the world. Like the catchy phrase of Globe, globalization is “making great things possible”. On the other hand, the history of the world refers to how the people evolved, places discovered and the various events that enable us to learn more about our culture and identity. The history of globalization and the history of the world are inter-connected, hence they cannot be separated from each other.
Globalization influences us to look at the world in different ways. How we think about the world is shaped by the society where we live in. It may be a new word for imperialism, colonialism, modernism or capitalism as it is related to gaining power over a territory, perhaps imposing rules to develop it, making money and building it as a better and more comfortable place to live in for the people.
The Western colonizers were the ones who started globalization. They traveled around the world to spread the wonders of globalization. I think that this is an American phenomenon because it somehow dictates us to live and behave like them. They introduced us to their culture. And their culture lets us see that if we follow what they do, we will be great like them. No wonder why a lot of Filipinos patronize American products more than the local ones because they believe that they have a better quality and more appealing.
Globalization has made America and even China progressive countries. They are two of the most influential and powerful countries in the world. However, I think that it will reach a “tipping point” when the developing countries will no longer experience poverty, famine and the like. That’s why I’m hoping that Philippines will try to become more competitive in terms of producing and promoting our local products. I strongly believe that it’s not too late for us to show the whole world that the Filipinos can make quality products, like that of America and China.
It has its own advantage and disadvantages. It is beneficial because like I said, it transforms the lives of many people in remarkable ways. Without it, we will not be able to experience the good things in life. On the contrary, it is bad in a way because we, the Filipinos, tend to forget our own identity and culture, as we are easily influenced by the powerful countries. And in my honest opinion, colonial mentality makes us the losers and them, the winners. Philippines is a great country and in my honest opinion, we should also be proud of what we have or what we can offer to the international community. Let us learn to love our own.
