The Flows of Globalization

Freight (trade). Mainly asymmetrical flows taking place to satisfy material

demands ranging from raw materials to finished goods and all the intermediate
goods in between. The asymmetry is reflective of trade imbalances as well as
the general linear organization of supply chains (upstream to downstream).
Flows are mainly supported by maritime shipping with port infrastructures
acting as the main gateways of this flow system, but airports play an
important role in the trade of high-value goods. Trade networks are organized
as interconnected hub-and-spoke structures along the main poles of the global
economy.
 What is an example of a global citizen?

With today's ability to travel by air and water, people can buy things from all
over the world. You may eat a banana from Colombia or watch a television
that was made in China. Global citizens understand that everyone is
connected through what they buy and sell.
Passengers (migration). Mainly symmetrical flows of people taking place for a
variety of reasons, most of them related to tourism with air transportation
being the dominant mode supporting such flows. The global air transport
system can handle about four million passengers per day and is organized as
interconnected hub-and-spoke networks converging around major airports.

Information (telecommunications). The complex and extensive flows of

information used for communication, power exchanges (e.g. an online order),
and symbolic exchanges (e.g. education). Information flows can both take a
physical (e.g. parcels) and non-physical form, which are dominantly
articulated by a network of global cities . While communication flows are
mostly symmetrical, power and symbolic exchanges are asymmetrical (from
the information provider to the consumer of information).

A migrant worker is a person who migrates

within a home country or outside it to pursue work.
Migrant workers usually do not have the intention to
stay permanently in the country or region in which
they work. Migrant workers who work outside their
home country are also called foreign workers.

In the world we live in, we are the parts and the society is the whole.
The question is how can we become a productive part of the society
we live in? Some important factors that we have to consider as part of
the whole society are the following:

1. Primary Identity or Individuation- it is defined as the concept of

personal identity. These are the norms that an individual learns
through the society.
Examples: a. Values- We often see the tagline “Honesty is the best
policy” in every classroom, honesty is an example of values we
learned from our family.
b. Attitudes- “Takbo! May aso!”, your action when you are scared of
something is an example of attitude. It can be good or bad action or
behavior.
c. Beliefs- “Wow ang taba ng bata, napakalusog siguro nya.” It is an
opinion that we believe to be real and true.
2. Secondary Identity- it is also known as social identity. As a child
gets socialized with the society he participates in the construction of
his secondary identity. This includes the roles and statuses that the
individual has to perform as part of his society.
Examples:
a. Occupation often corresponds with income and educational
attainment, which combined determine a person's social class.
However, occupations with high occupational prestige can increase
one's social class without a corresponding increase in indicators, such
as income.
b. Educational background includes your high school and in college.
c. Economic status can be considered by your occupation and income.
d. Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, activities
and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and
women. Unlike sex which refers to the biological characteristics of
humans such as male or female (World Health Organization 2013).
Status refers to an individual’s position in society which carries
with it a set of defined rights and obligations. Roles refer to the
sets of expectation which occupy a particular status (Alejandria
2015). For example, your status is a senior high school student
therefore your role is to study hard in order to earn a high
school diploma. Here are the six (6) principles of gestalt laws
applied to global networks that we have to consider as part of
the society. a. Figure refers to the people in a nation which may
vary in terms of color, size etc. b. Similarity states the things
which share characteristics such as shape, size, color, texture,
and good composition (geographical setting and characteristics
of different nation) c. Proximity states that “objects or shapes
that are close to one another appear to form groups”. Even if the
shapes, sizes, and objects are radically different, they will
appear as a group if they are close together. (Refers to close
neighboring countries which possess same cultural background
etc.) d. Closure involves the provision of missing details to be a
part of potential pattern or once closure is achieved, the
elimination of details unnecessary to establish a pattern match.
Examples are governance, laws, and others. e. Continuity states
that things tend to continue shapes beyond their ending points
(interconnections to cross countries essence of globalization or
evolution of generation). f. Symmetry or Order connotes
stability and peace and order, like sets of instruction or
reference. It does not give the impression of things that
