This document discusses several key concepts and metaphors related to understanding globalization, including:
1) Cultural homogenization and the uniformity of culture worldwide due to processes like cultural diffusion and the spread of capitalism.
2) The role of information and communication technologies in enabling the flows of finance, capital, ideas, and people across borders that drive globalization.
3) The changing roles and authority of nation-states in a globalized world where power and influence are spread across international and regional organizations.
4) The complex relationships between globalization, inequality, and processes like democratization and the growth of human rights and civic activism.
5) Transnationalism as a related but more delimited

The Contemporary World: Globalization of World PoliticsRommel Regala
This course introduces students to 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. To this end, the course provides an overview of the various debates in global governance, development, and sustainability. Beyond exposing the student to the world outside the Philippines, it seeks to inculcate a sense of global citizenship and goal ethical responsibility.
In this module, you will journey to the very heart of this course: you will be asked to identify the challenges posed by globalization and consider responses to these challenges as demonstrated by experiences on the ground. For this purpose, students will produce case studies of communities (in the Philippines and other countries) experiencing the impact of globalization and their respective responses to issues that arise. There are global-civic societies engaged in advocacies relating to climate and environmental protection, for example, human trafficking across borders, the application of advances in science and technology to serve some of the world’s poorest communities, and so on. There are, too, communities that have managed, in varying degrees of success, to deal with the effects, good and bad, of globalization.
Globalization represents an unavoidable phenomenon in the history of mankind, which is making the world smaller and smaller by increasing the exchange of goods, services, information, knowledge and cultures between different countries, therefore, it is very important to understand the "why, where, what and how" of our current situation.

With the coming of the new millenuim, the entire world has entered the globalized age, which is characterized by the US global power leading the world after the fall of the ex- USSR. The emergence of globaization rose several questions about the role of the US: Is it acting in favor preserving the world cultures, or trying to model the world according to the US Western and liberal values? This; in fact, has paved the way to rise of such theories, expliaing that the US has enetered a new phase of conflict which is basically cutural in order to survive and promote its cultural values.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. GLOBALIZATION OF CULTURE AND
COMMUNICATION
• Global cultural homogenization
• Cultural uniformity of the world
3. GLOBALIZATION
‘Globalization did it’
• Cultural diffusion
• Capitalism
• Inequalities
• Uneven distribution of wealth
• Gender issue
• Identity issue
• Overpopulation
• Social problems
• So on…
4. GLOBALIZATION
• Information and Communication Technologies
(ICT) forms part of the infrastructure of
globalization in finance, capital mobility and
export-oriented business activity, transnational
communication, migration, travel and civil society
interactions.
Global advertising expenditures
39 billion $ -in 1950
256 billion $ - in 1990
5. GLOBALIZATION
• Between 1840-1960, nation states were the
leading format of political organization
worldwide,
• From 1960s, regionalization has come into the
picture as a significant dynamic; ex: EU.
• Over time, state authority has been leaking
upward- internationalization of states.
6. What is the scope for state authority in
contemporary globalization?
• The role is different for different kind of states ;
large or small, central or peripheral, advanced or
developing.
• A need for public sector reform in most of the
states with globalization.
• The accompanying growth of market forces has
led governments from local to national levels to
attract foreign investment, infrastructure
development and place marketing.
7. Does globalization foster democratization through
transnational demonstration effects, growing human
rights awareness, and civic activism across borders, or
do the economic effects of globalization, by fostering
social inequality?
• Extremely unequal income and wealth distribution over the
world, with the effect of globalization.
• Video.
8. Globalization from sociological
perspective
• Globalization is an objective, empirical process
of increasing economic and political
connectivity, a subjective process unfolding in
consciousness as the social awareness of
global interconnectedness, and a host of
specific globalization projects that seek to
shape global conditions.
9. TRANSNATIONALISM
• A term that is closely related to globalization
Processes that interconnect individuals and social
groups across specific geopolitical borders.
TRANSNATIONALITY
The rise of new communities and formation of new
social identities and relations that cannot be defined
through the traditional reference point of nation-
states.
10. • Globalization and transnationalism are often
used interchangeably, but transnationalism is
more delimited process.
• Transnationalism is most often used in
thinking about immigrants who move from
one country to another, but who continue to
be involved in various ways with their home
country.
• For ex: Soccer is a global sport, while baseball
is a transnational sport.
11. Some metaphors to understand
globalization
• Solid, Liquid, Gas
• Solidity: People, things, information and
places ‘harden’ over time and therefore have
limited mobility.
• Solidity of materials: stone tablets,
newpapers,magazines,books. (solidity of
information before high-tech and internet)
• Solidity of places: Mountains, rivers, oceans
(solid natural)
Walls, gates, borders (humanly constructed)
12. Solid to Liquid or even to Gas
• With the developments on transportation,
communication and the Internet; people, objects
and information can move across global more
easily.
• Much of the information now available instantly
around the world wafts through the air in the
form of signals beamed of satellites.
• Time in a liquid world, more important than
space.
• Best example: Global Finance
13. Liquidity of New Age
• Eventhough globalization means more
liquidity of everything, solid structures survive
in the world.
• The most important solid structure is nation-
state.
14. The idea of Flows
• Another key concept in thinking about
globalization.
• Movement of people, things, information, and
places due, in part, to the increasing porosity of
global barriers.
• For ex: Food flows, sushi from Japan becoming
globalized all over the world.
• A different kind of flow: Migrants
• Ideas, images, information, both legal and illegal,
flow everywhere through interpersonal contact
and the media, via internet, because of their
immeteriality.
15. Types of Flows
• Interconnected flows: Global flows that
interconnect at different points and times.
• Multi-directional flows: All sorts of things
flowing in every conceivable direction among
many points in the world.
• Conflicting flows: Transplanetary processes
that conflict with one another.
• Reverse flows: Processes which, while flowing
in one direction, act back on their source.
16. Does globalization hop rather than flow?
• The world is characterized by great inequality.
• Therefore, all flows do not go everywhere in
the world and, even when they do, they make
different effects.
*James Ferguson’s work on Africa.
• Globalization may hop rather than flow in
some areas.
17. Some metaphors to understand
globalization
• Heavy, Light, Weightless
• Example: Music records, then cassettes, then
CDs, then ipods, cell phones. (heavy to light)
18. Heavy Structures on the World
• Trade agreements, regulatory agencies,
borders, customs barriers, standards and so
on..
• European Union- a structure to control global
flows.
• Labor unions- a structure to control migrant
flow
• IMF, WTO, World Bank- Financial structures to
control global economy.
19. Some metaphors to understand
globalization
• Structure, Process.
• Thinking about globalization in terms of
processes gives it the kind of dynamism that
we all know it has and that offers profound
insights into it and the ways in which it works.
• Structures: Nation-states, multi-national
corporations.
