Globalization refers to the increasing global integration and interdependence of economic, cultural, and political activities. It involves the reduction of barriers to international trade and flow of goods, services, and capital. While globalization has increased economic growth and spread of technology, it has also been associated with negative consequences such as loss of national identity, increased inequality, environmental degradation, and exploitation of workers in developing countries. Both opportunities and challenges exist as the world becomes more interconnected through globalization.

As per the adage, ‘Every cloud has a silver lining’, we have observed that pro- and anti-globalization go hand in hand. If one section of the society considers it to be advancing for good, other section will always pick the bad out of it.
Pro-globalists debate that globalization brings about much increased opportunities for almost everyone, and increased competition is a good thing since it makes agents of production more efficient, the anti-globalists, on the contrary, argue that certain groups of people who are devoid in terms of resources are not currently capable of functioning within the increased competitive pressure that will be brought about by allowing their economic to be more connected to the rest of the world.
Let's read more to understand the impact of both the faces of globalists, their ideology and perception.
Happy reading!
globalization is undermining nation states. First, it is that it is empowering corporations at the expense of the nation state, and secondly, that the international institutions such
It does not make sense to talk of a world of 6 billion people becoming a monoculture. The spread of globalization will undoubtedly bring changes to the countries it reaches, but change is an essential part of life. It does not mean the abolition of traditional values.
As the WTO and World Bank are not democratic…. There is an issue of sheer size.
It is noted that many corporations are larger than nation states – more than half the 100 largest economies in the world are corporations.
Integration in the world economy contributes to environmental improvements by promoting growth, increasing incomes, improving property rights and the allowing the efficient use of resources.
Globalisation is a process of increasing interdependence and integration of economies and societies to such an extent that an event in one part of the globe affects people in other parts of the world. Thinkers and Scholars all over the world often talk of global culture, global economy and global governance.
Globalization, or a series of changes leading to a greater interdependence and integration of the world socially, economically, politically, and culturally, is an ongoing process that commenced centuries before with communication and trade between ancient civilizations, it was only in recent years that globalization became a revolutionary process fundamentally changing the way people live and interact with the rest of the world. The invention of the Internet by Tim Berners-Lee, coupled with cutting-edge transportation technology, paved the way for a greater degree of integration of the world than ever before

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
1. Globalization
Globalization refers to the increasingly global relationships of culture, people and economic
activity. Most often, it refers to economics: the global distribution of the production of goods and
services, through reduction of barriers to international trade such as tariffs, export fees, and import
quotas.
Apparently Globalization has contributed to economic growth in developed and developing
countries through increased specialization and the principle of comparative advantage. Globalization
also refers to the transnational circulation of ideas, languages, and popular culture.
Globalization has been given many meanings in different contexts. One frequently-encountered
meaning is that globalization is the homogenization of people’s tastes and demand patterns around
the world, due to increased access to international communication of information about products
and services as well as increased access to transportation of products and people across borders.
From another perspective it may be seen as the threat of loss of national identity in response to
homogenization of lifestyles around the world. National identity is also threatened by the trend
toward reduction in the number of languages used around the world.
Concepts:
The United Nations says globalization is:
“When used in an economic context: it refers to the reduction and removal of barriers between
national borders in order to facilitate the flow of goods, capital, services and labour... although
considerable barriers remain to the flow of labour... “
Takis Fotopoulos defined economic globalization as “the opening and deregulation of
commodity, capital and labour markets which led to the present neoliberal globalization”.
Political globalization: “named the emergence of a transnational elite and the phasing out of the
nation-state.”
Cultural globalization: “was the worldwide homogenization of culture. Other elements included
"ideological globalization", "technological globalization" and "social globalization".
Thomas L. Friedman popularized the term "flat world", arguing that “globalized trade,
outsourcing, supply-chaining, and political forces had permanently changed the world, for
better and worse”
The Forces Behind Globalization
Increased expansion and technological improvements in transportation and communications
networks
Liberalization of cross-border trade and resource movements
2. Development of services that support international business activities
Growing consumer demand for foreign products
Increased global competition
Changing political and economic situations
Expanded cross-national treaties and agreements
The Effects of Globalization
Positive
Creation of firms, leads to increase income levels, therefore, consumer demand
Create new jobs
Production advantages: new technology, raise worker´s skills
Economies of scale
Increase competicion in domestic industry
Negative
Outsourced their manufacturing and white-collar jobs to Third-World countries and
developing economies, takes jobs
It has led to an increase in activities such as: child labor and slavery
Consumerism habits has increase junk food, branded products,
Environmental degradation
Positive Effects of Globalization
• Increased Competition
One of the most visible positive effects of globalization is the improved quality of products due to
global competition. Customer service and the 'customer is the king' approaches to production have
led to improved quality of products and services. As the domestic companies have to fight out
foreign competition, they are compelled to raise their standards and customer satisfaction levels in
order to survive in the market.
• Increased Employment
With globalization, companies have penetrated into the developing countries and hence generated
employment for them. It has given an opportunity to invest in the emerging markets and take
advantage of the talent which is available there. In developing countries, there is often a lack of
capital which prevent the growth of domestic companies and hence, employment. In such cases, due
to global nature of the businesses, people of developing countries too can obtain gainful
employment opportunities.
• Investment and Capital Flows
One of the most visible positive effects of globalization is the flow of foreign capital. A lot of
companies have directly invested in developing economies. Many companies have benefited from
capital inflow to improve production and services
3. • Spread of Technology
While it is generally assumed that all the innovations happen in the Western world, due to
globalization, technology also comes into developing countries due to globalization. Without
globalization, the knowledge of new inventions, medicines would remain confined in the countries
that came up with them and no one else would benefit. But due to improved political ties, there is a
flow of information both ways.
• Spread of Culture
The positive effects of globalization on culture are many! Not all good practices were born in one
civilization. The world that we live in today is a result of several cultures coming together. People of
one culture, if receptive, tend to see the flaws in their culture and pick up the culture which is more
correct or in tune with the times. Societies have become larger as they have welcomed people of
other civilizations and backgrounds and created a whole new culture of their own. Cooking styles,
languages and customs have spread all due to globalization
Negative Effects of Globalization
Poorer countries suffering disadvantages
While it is true that free trade encourages globalization among countries, some countries try to
protect their domestic suppliers. The main export of poorer countries is usually agricultural and
comodity goods. Larger countries often subsidise their farmers (e.g., the EU's Common Agricultural
Policy), which lowers the market price for foreign crops.
The shift to outsourcing
Globalization allowed corporations to move manufacturing and service jobs from high cost locations,
increasing unemployment in the domestic country. In rich countries, outsourcing has been a double-
edged sword; it enabled cheaper services but displaced some service-sector jobs. However, in lower-
cost locations such as India, the outsourcing industry is the "primary engine of the country’s
development over the next few decades, contributing broadly to GDP growth, employment growth,
and poverty alleviation"
An increase in exploitation of child labour
Countries with weak protections for children are vulnerable to infestation by dishonest companies
and criminal gangs who exploit them. Examples include quarrying, salvage, and farm work as well as
trafficking, forced labour, prostitution and pornography.
Brain drain
Opportunities in rich countries attract skilled workers from poor countries, leading to brain drains.
For example, nurses from poorer countries come to the US to work. This phenomenon cost Africa
over $4.1 billion for the employment of 150,000 expatriate professionals annually, Spanish engineers
are moving to Germany looking for better job prospects
4. Working conditions
In some developing countries labour policies provide less protection than in developed countries.
One example is the use of sweat-shops by manufacturers. Clothing makers such as The Gap and Nike
were accused of contracting with factories that used child labour in violation of local and law
Political
Globalization reduced the importance of nation states. Sub-state and supra-state institutions such as
the European Union, the WTO, the G8 or the International Criminal Court, replace national functions
with international agreements.
Cultural
Mandarin is the first language of 845 million speakers, followed by Spanish (329 million speakers)
and English (328 million speakers). However the most popular second language is undoubtedly
English, the "lingua franca" of globalization:
• About 35% of the world's mail, telexes, and cables are in English.
• Approximately 40% of the world's radio programs are in English.
• Some 3.5 billion people have some acquaintance of the language.
• English is the dominant language on the Internet
Environmental
Environmental challenges such as climate change, water and air pollution and over-fishing of the
ocean, require trans-national/global solutions. Since factories in developing countries increased
global output and experienced less environmental regulation, globalism substantially increased
pollution and have a severe impact on natural resources
Consumerism
Consumerism is a social and economic order based on fostering a desire to purchase goods and
services in ever greater amounts.
Opponents of consumerism argue that many luxuries and unnecessary consumer products may act
as social mechanism allowing people to identify like-minded individuals through the display of
similar products, again utilizing aspects of status-symbolism to judge socioeconomic status and
social stratification. Critics of consumerism often point out that consumerist societies are more
prone to damage the environment, contribute to global warming and use up resources at a higher
rate than other societies.
5. Inequalities in consumption are stark. Globally, the 20% of the world’s people in the highest-income
countries account for 86% of total consumption while the poorest 20% a minuscule 1.3%. More
specifically:
The richest consume 45% of all meat and fish, the poorest fifth 5%
The richest consume 58% of total energy, the poorest fifth less than 4%
The richest consume have 74% of all telephone lines, the poorest fifth 1.5%
The richest consume 84% of all paper, the poorest fifth 1.1%
The richest own 87% of the world’s vehicle fleet, the poorest less than 1%
Runaway growth in consumption in the past 50 years is putting strains on the environment never
before seen.
Sustainable Consumption
Sustainable consumption is: ‘the use of goods and services that respond to basic needs and bring a
better quality of life, while minimising the use of natural resources, toxic materials and emissions of
waste and pollutants over the life-cycle, so as not to jeopardise the needs of future generations’
(OECD, 2002)
The great challenge faced by economies today is to integrate environmental sustainability with
economic growth and welfare by decoupling environmental degradation from economic growth and
doing more with less. This is one of the key objectives of the European Union, but the consequences
of climate change and the growing demand for energy and resources are challenging this objective.
International Trade
6. International trade is the exchange of capital, goods, and services across international borders or
territories. In most countries, such trade represents a significant share of gross domestic product
(GDP). While international trade has been present throughout much of history (Silk Road, Amber
Road, etc), its economic, social, and political importance has been on the rise in recent centuries.
Industrialization, advanced transportation, globalization, multinational corporations, and
outsourcing are all having a major impact on the international trade system. Increasing international
trade is crucial to the continuance of globalization. Without international trade, nations would be
limited to the goods and services produced within their own borders.
Foreign Direct Investment
According to the International Monetary Fund, foreign direct investment, commonly known as FDI,
"... “refers to an investment made to acquire lasting or long-term interest in firms operating outside of the
economy of the investor." The investment is direct because the investor, (foreign person, company or group of
entities), is seeking to control, manage, or have significant influence over the foreign firm”
FDI is a major source of external finance which means that countries with limited amounts of capital
can receive finance beyond national borders from wealthier countries
Why Do Companies Invest Overseas?
Market seeking: Firm may go to find new buyers for thier goods and services
Resource seeking: A company may find it cheaper to produce its product in a foreing
subsidiary. The foreing facilities may be able to superior or les costly access to the imputs:
(land, labour, natural resources) than at home
Strategic seeking: firms may seek invest in other companies abroad to improve distribution
network or new technology
7. Efficiency seeking: Multinationals may seek to be more competitive, in response to
economic changes
Companies doing business across international borders face many risks
• Buyer insolvency (purchaser cannot pay);
• Non-acceptance (buyer rejects goods as different from the agreed upon specifications);
• Credit risk (allowing the buyer to take possession of goods prior to payment);
• Intervention (governmental action to prevent a transaction being completed);
• Political risk (change in leadership interfering with transactions or prices); and
• War, piracy and civil unrest or turmoil;
• Natural catastrophes, freak weather and other uncontrollable and unpredictable events
Protectionism
May be defined as “any policy that is intended to protect domestic industries from import
competition” One of the common reason for the creation of trade barriers is to encourage local
production by making more difficult for foreign firm to compete there.
Protectionism is the economic policy of restraining trade between states through methods such as
tariffs on imported goods, restrictive quotas, and a variety of other government regulations
designed to discourage imports and prevent foreign take-over of domestic markets and companies.
Government implement restriction on importation with the objective of fight unemployment and
create jobs in the domestic market. This policy contrasts with free trade, where government barriers
to trade and movement of capital are kept to a minimum
The main reasons for protectionism are:
• Protect local jobs and fight unemployment
• Encourage local production to replace imports
• Protect infant industries
• Reduce dependence on foreign suppliers
• Encourage local and foreign investment
• Reduce balance payment problems
• Promote export activities
The World Bank
The mission of the World Bank is to reduce poverty in middle-income and creditworthy poorer
countries by promoting sustainable development, through loans, guarantees, and advisory services.
The World Bank aims at issues such as building infrastructure (roads, dams, power plants), natural
disaster relief, humanitarian emergencies, poverty reduction, infant mortality, gender equality,
education, and long-term development issues.
8. Furthermore, the World Bank tries to foster social reforms to promote economic development, such
the empowerment of women, building schools and health centres, provision of clean water and
electricity, fighting disease, and protecting the environment.
Since 2000, the World Bank has been devoted to helping implement the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs) The goals are as follows:
1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger.
2. Achieve universal primary education.
3. Promote gender equality and empower women.
4. Reduce child mortality.
5. Improve maternal health.
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases.
7. Ensure environmental sustainability.
8. Develop a global partnership for development.
Why Is the World Bank Controversial?
The World Bank, TWO and International Monetary Fund; all these organizations exemplify the
globalization of policymaking, which causes national governments to lose some of their sovereign
ability to set the rules of the game for their citizens/residents. While such multilateral organizations
have existed for centuries, the particular power of the WTO to force member countries to eliminate
some policies that interfere with free trade, and to treat other member countries equally, certainly
threatens those who want a more independent national policy framework. And likewise, the lending
power of the IMF and World Bank certainly coerce emerging markets to follow economic policies
that they might not otherwise choose, in order to obtain funding that is offered conditionally if the
recipient country follows the specified policies
