    The document discusses three questions related to globalization and society: 1) It defines globalization as the opening of domestic markets to international trade and integration of technology, goods, and services between nations. This enables countries to access resources and opportunities beyond their borders. 2) It agrees that globalization in the modern world involves more than just economic processes, and reflects the social and political development of humanity towards greater interconnection and interdependence between all people worldwide. 3) While a homogenous society could improve communication and understanding by putting people on a shared footing, in reality the negotiation and blending of ideas between diverse cultures leads to benefits for both, and a heterogeneous society may be more advantageous by preserving diversity and

    THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD

    1. What is the importance of defining globalization?


     Globalization is opening up of domestic markets to international trade for seamless and
    integrated transfer of technology, goods and services. An isolated economy will not sustain
    for long. Ultimately its resources will deplete and it will need to open up its gates for other
    nations to enter into their market, trade with other economies. Take loans, excport goods
    and services, import technology,etc. So we can say globalization is the source of life for
    modern economies. The importance of defining globalisation makes you know the economic
    climate around you. You understand the economy is larger than one country but capital and
    goods flow internationally. This means knowing the definition enables you to find more
    opportunities.
    2. Do you agree on the ideas presented regarding the characteristics of globalization in modern
    world?
     Yes, I agree on the ideas presented regarding the characteristics of globalization in modern
    world. Globalization is one of the most powerful forces affecting the modern world, so much
    so that it can be difficult to make sense of the world without understanding globalization.
    Globalization in modern world is not a mere economic process, but the next stage in the
    social and political development of mankind, a process started with the emergence of family
    (in the social, not biological sense), clan, tribe, union of tribes, etc.
    We/Us humans need for each other and the world is much closer than ever before that
    many people live in different countries than their own country that no matter where you
    are, we need to help each other. All the diverse in nationality, language, culture are created
    under God’s plan of our human life on earth so that we’ll learn the diverse and receive
    benefits to each other and grow to be the better and bigger person.
    3. Which do you think is more advantageous? Homogenous or heterogeneous society?
     I think Homogenous because it puts people on the same footing and improves
    communication and understanding. It has been redefined, incorrectly, as powerful cultures
    taking over weak ones. In reality, it is a negotiation between cultures and individuals, where
    good ideas are adopted from both. The down side is the changing of both (many) cultures,
    into the conglomerate.
