5. meaning of globalization Let’s start with the story of Gio and Latif and the Laksa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AS65cI0pJA

6. Globalization in The story It was through such friendship that one was able to appreciate the meaning and impact of globalization. The story of Gio and Latif shows how globalization operates at multiple, intersecting levels through mass media. The spread of Filipino TV into Malaysia suggests how fast this popular culture has proliferated and crisscrossed all over Asia.

7. Globalization in The story The Model UN activity is an international competition about international politics. The competition was held in Sydney – a global city that derives in wealth and influence from the global capital that flows through it. Sydney is also a metropolis of families of international immigrants or foreigners working in the industries that also sell their products abroad.

8. Globalization in The story After the competition, the two kept in touch through Facebook, a global social networking site that provides instantaneous communication across countries and continents. They preserved their friendship online and then rekindled this face-to-face in Singapore, another hub for global commerce.

9. Structure of globalization Gio's story is a very privileged way of experiencing global flows, but for other people, the shrinking of the world may not be as exciting and edifying.

10. Structure of globalization Example: Governments that decide to welcome the foreign investments on the belief that they provide jobs and capital for the country offer public lands as factory or industrial sites. In the process, poor people living in these lands, also called “urban poor communities,” are being evicted by the government.

14. Globalization: a working definition Manfred Steger describes globalization as a process. It refers to the expansion and intensification of social relations and consciousness across world-time and world-space. Expansion 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.

15. Globalization: a working definition Connections occur at different levels. Example: Social media established new global connections between people. International groups of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are networks that connect a more specific group – social activists and workers form different corners of the globe.

16. Globalization: a working definition Intensification refers to the expansion, stretching and acceleration of these networks. Not only are global connections multiplying, they also become more closely-knit and expanding their reach. Example: There is a strong financial market connecting London and New York.

17. Globalization: a working definition Manfred Steger notes that “globalization processes do not occur merely at an objective, material level but they also involve the subjective plane of human consciousness.”

18. Globalization: a working definition Manfred Steger posits that his definition of globalization must be differentiated with an ideology he calls globalism. Globalization represents the many processes that allow for the expansion and intensification of global connections. Globalism is a widespread belief among powerful people that the global integration of economic markets is beneficial for everyone , since it spreads freedom and democracy across the world.

19. Globalization: a working definition Arjun Appadurai describes globalization as ' scapes " manifests into" different kinds of globalization occur on multiple and intersecting dimensions of integration . There are different kinds of scapes – ethnoscape , technoscape, mediascape, financescape and  ideoscape .  Ethnoscape refers to the global movement of people. Technoscape refers to the circulation of mechanical goods and software.

20. Globalization: a working definition 3. Mediascape refers to the flow of culture. Financescape denotes the global circulation of money. Ideoscape refers to the realm where political ideas move around. These various scapes are thus distinct windows into the broader phenomenon of globalization. Appadurai’s argument is simple: there are multiple globalizations.
