OUR TOPIC IS ON

GLOBALIZATION IN
COMMUNICATION
 WHAT IS
GLOBALIZATION?
Globalization is a process of interaction and
integration among people, companies, and
governments of different nations, a process
driven by international trade and investment
and aided by information technology.
This process has effects on the
environment, on culture, on
political systems, on economic
development and prosperity, and
on human physical well-being in
societies around the world.

As technology evolved, Today we are able

to communicate with people across the
globe at the touch of a button
The Effects of Globalization on Global Communication

Connecting with people on the other side of the world is now

much easier than it was a few years ago.

Increased Business Opportunities

Many companies today hire employees that are located in other

countries. Using communication vehicles such as video calling
make it simple to converse with colleagues across the globe,
almost making it feel as if they are in the same room. Technology
also makes it easier to connect with suppliers and customers all
over the world, and to streamline those relationship through
improves ordering, shipment tracking and so on. With this kind of
communication technology, many businesses are able to take
advantage of opportunities in different countries or cities,
improving the economic outlook on a global level.
Fewer Cultural Barriers
Many people perceive culture to be the root of communication challenges. When
people from two different cultures try to exchange information, the way they speak,
their body language or their mannerisms can be interpreted differently by the other
person. The way people approach problems and how they participate in
communities is all influenced by culture.

Globalization has made it possible, for example, for someone here in the Philippines
to understand how someone in the U.S. goes about their day. With television and
movies, cultural barriers are becoming less prevalent. Being able to communicate
effectively and frequently with colleagues or friends across the planet helps people
understand each other’s cultures a little better.
 Creation of a Global Village

Affected both by globalization and global communication, the global village is

created when distance and isolation no longer matter because people are
connected by technology. Wide-spread telephone and internet access have
been life-changing for many people across the world, especially those in
developing countries. Many are now enrolling in universities across the world
without having to leave their desk chair. Virtual assistant jobs are becoming
commonplace, where employees from developing countries work with
companies in North America or Europe, providing administrative support and
other business services that can easily be conducted over the phone or via the
internet.

In conclusion, the effects of globalization on communication

are not necessarily all good. It is important to note the
negative impacts for us to be able to know what the right
thing to do is. Communication right now might be a simple
press of a button, but it is a single press that greatly
influences how we live and function in society. So we should
be responsible in how we use technology so that we can
have a better community.

Dear Madam:

Greetings of Solidarity!

The Philippines is a destination that is easy to visit multiple times due to its more than 7,000 islands. The most difficult
decision you make as a traveler, is figuring out which island to visit first. The Philippines is divided into the three main island
groups of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, representing different regions in the country.

The scenery in each region of the Philippines ranges from mountainous and tropical to metropolitan. You can enjoy a day
of walking the historical colonial streets of the capital city of Manila or catch a rare glimpse of tiny tarsier monkeys at a
private sanctuary on the island of Bohol. The steep, plush mountains provide unforgettable hiking experiences.

Since you are surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, it's not surprising the Philippines has some of the best beaches in Asia and
the scuba diving opportunities are outstanding.

Plan your travels around this tropical island nation with our list of the best places to visit in the Philippines.
