   We had a brief discussion about the introduction of globalization under the subject "The Contemporary World" with Prof. Rommel Mariano. The said discussion was not dull at all since our professor knows how to instruct the topic well in a pleasant manner. I can say that everyone in the class relished, including our professor.

   So, what is globalization? It is when there is an interaction and integration between the people, companies and governments around the world. It means that there is will be a rapid increase in sharing economic activities such as businesses and organizations taking place across national borders.

   How can we say that there is globalization? Well, we can state that there is globalization when the international trade increases at a faster rate, increase in international flow of capital, greater trans-border data flow, cultural exchange and more.

   Are you Pro or Anti-globalization? Globalization can lift people out of poverty as it increased job opportunities in capital-scarce, labor-rich countries and developing countries. It also increased our knowledge about technology which we uses today. Technology nowadays are necessary especially during this pandemic days that we need to be distanced with one another. In such way, technology connects us. 

   We all know how much the world had changed and there is nothing wrong with it. We all know that change itself is inevitable and the only thing we can do is to accept and adapt to it. So as with globalization. We adapt, we develop, we succeed.
