Since the early 19th century, _____________ has
been a “buzzword” throughout the world, though
the term itself has been popularized only

Theodore Levitt’s article entitled “The
Globalization of Markets.”
Globalization
refers to the existence of free exchange goods,
services, culture, and even people, between and among
countries. Under the banner of globalization, countries have
discarded taxes on imported goods (tariffs) and opened their
doors to highly skilled workers and professionals. Through
globalization, people became more interested in travel,
learning new languages, and immersing themselves in new
cultures and lifestyles.
Globalization
On the first decade of the ____ _______,
some scholars argued that globalization
is a process. However, on the other, it
is a condition and for some, it is
described as an ideology. Central to the
study of the contemporary world is the
concept of globalization. The following
are the underlying definitions of
globalization.
21st century
theorizes that
globalization denotes a range of
processes nesting under one rather
difficult description. Its conceptual
difficulty to handle or control partly
arises from the fact that global flows
occur in different physical and mental
dimensions.
Freedmen (2003)
proposes that different
kinds of globalization occur on multiple and
intersecting dimensions of integration that he
calls “scapes”.

Globalization
“Globalization is the expansion

Manfred Steger
- refers to “both the creation of new
social networks and the multiplication
of existing connections that cut across
traditional political, economic, cultural
and geographic boundaries.
Expansion

stretching, and acceleration of these
networks
Intensification
However, globalization is different
from _________, which points to our
aspirations for an end state of
affairs, values shared by all the
people in the world and their
environment, and roles as citizens,
consumers, and producers that can
answer common problems. Not it is
universalism, values that hugs all
humanity. Meanwhile, Steger (20025)
uses the term globality to mean
globalization as a condition.
Globalism
remarks
that since its earliest
appearance in the 1960s, the
term ‘globalization’ has been
used in both popular and
academic literature to
describe a process, a
condition, a system, a force,
and an age. (Steger, 2003)
Manfred Steger
a Swedish
journalist saw globalization as
positive phenomenon and define it
as “the process of world shrinkage,
of distances getting shorter, things
moving closer. It pertains to the
increasing ease with which
somebody on one side of the world
can interact to mutual benefit with
somebody the other side of the
world. (Larsson, 2001).
Thomas Larsson
____ ________ consider it as a
process, a condition, or an ideology.
Experts from different fields of social
sciences also define globalization

definition has to encompass all
definitions of and notions about
globalization. Steger’s definition, for
the purpose of this module, is the most
unbiased working definition
