Hold Me Closer

Globalization. What is globalization? What comes first into your mind when the term  "globalization" is mentioned? I, myself, am pretty baffled onto what globalization really is. I mean, REALLY. Instead, I am going to give my outtake on globalization than knocking myself out finding out the meaning of it in every encyclopedia.

It's pretty much awkward to say that we are there to keep things so close, close to what is distantly to see. We see the realities; and you might ask, what does the word "reality" gets into this situation to the world that we point out as "it's a small world after all"? Global cultures rapidly dominate us. It slowly bit-by-bit turns into a sudden transition of the past to be readily face the future.There are so many things I say for sure.

Drastic Shouts in the Tangled Society

Two is better than One hand to hold

It becomes a crisis to the society, a social disease that highly influences the people--technology.  It echoes in my mind the song I loved to sing all day long when I was still a child- "It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all" when the gadgets that line up for you, not to mention the latest laptops with touch screen keyboard and weird and so complex cellphones with twisting parts. The world of internet-the famous youtube, facebook, twitter, and so many social networks that I couldn't even name. Just as the word facebook is heard, all of the sudden people would drastically talk about tags, post, wall, and even farms of all sorts of veggies, fruits and crops in Farmville. 

Chats paved the way for international mingles; not a hindrance for distant pairs to love.But sadly to say that the people often abuse the social networking sites. Human trafficking becomes rapidly and out-of-control "human disease" that affect the social status of one's community.  

Social networking sites have both good and bad effects on humanity such as knowing thousands of perfect strangers and also giving yourself ultimately unknowing that conversations are cases of lies. Nowadays people are craving for social networking to give themselves pleasures or fun. Sometimes it may be addictive that you could not leave your desktop or laptop and worse you can't eat or toke a bath trust me I've done it before. Ones you got the top of it you could not stop yourself but do what ever it takes to finish it or more or less you aimed for the goal.

Looking Back Moving Forward

It’s a progress all right. Worldwide communication and transportation holds our future to progress. Industrial Revolution comes to rise as its everyday phenomenon knowing that it transparently showing mortality rate increases as its consequence from history. Speaking of history, our ancestors paved us the way to this so called Era of Consequences Emergence, giving pretty much itch on our scalps, how do consequences direct us to this Era?

Step Down and Up

Global Economy rapidly develops; in particular it says every one nation is called to progress. Cultures and traditions come known as its cradle, once a knowledge or idea of money-based dilemma-turned-technique is born; it’s reliable to the now’s industrial development. Traders, Artisans, and the rise of the middle classes came today known as the status-quo that often abuse by social-fame criminals. Wide mortality rate increases as the gap of the rotten poor and the filthy rich also increases affecting the economy especially in third world countries. We lose sight of social justice. Economy needs rich people while rich people need poor people to work for them, known as the basis of today’s economic theories most widely affecting the Philippines, one example; as poverty is competing with the people’s choice for change. Impossible because of social abuses, but despite of this,  tourism is the highlight of this country but it rapidly competing with the so called “danger-zone” for tourists because of the rebel attacks surrounding the nation. Local dismay to the outcome even their warm welcomes are prepared ruining by the other foreign ignorant speakers and attention-getting personalities through telecommunication.

As history came known for the present time, economic colonization affects the habits of the people. Influences of food diets such as world fast-food chain such as the famous McDonald’s; almost half the worlds country already tasted the pure-beef burgers and french-fries. Speaking of food, worldwide diets with the beverages are affecting the stomach favorites of the people, sodas such as the Coca-Cola and Pepsi are competing for the people’s choice making it as the trademark for every patron consumers to consume.  The streets of eastern Asian countries are covered with smokes and flowing smell air of delicious exotic foods lining up the sidewalks, a sign of the economical culture influences to one another. Culture is a significant sign to one’s nation’s identity. Franchises like the McDonalds and KFC are both major food signs of culture affecting the diets of the world came to known to all nations the identity of the westerners. It binds the people, food as the bridge to every nation’s relationships; it commonly known as Culture Domination for that country’s development.

But it doesn’t help the country who franchises the influences from the other country. It only relies on it while the local economy will rapidly fade because of interest in franchise influences. This ideology clearly dominates the likes of the consumers as one factor which the word globalization comes to exists in this topic. 


Despite the Progress

In this state of human development for the world, not knowing and giving notice to the real and motivated goals of the society, we still in the state of poverty. Globalization might be just one step to the great of the future but the sad fact about it, it's that the side of the world we don't take notice are not in our shoes to the process of the progress of the world.
As it's in on progress, poverty strikes as many are victims of social injustices.
