Gaano CALAPIT ang Pagbabago? An Insight into the influence of Globalization on the Contreras-Calapit Family

One day, you will be buying from a sari-sari store, and after a year, you are then buying from the same place now owned by a foreign company. One day, you will be studying physics, and a year passes, and you are then studying a curriculum that was modeled after a different system of education. One day, you will be working in the Philippines, and a year later, you are then working in another country. One day, you will be eating Filipino cuisine, and a year from now, you are then eating food from different parts of the world delivered from an online store. Change happens in a snap, and because of globalization, change is at a rapid and unprecedented pace. Globalization has different effects on the macro- and micro-levels in society (Nerad, 2020). Each unit in society has varying degrees of friction to this phenomenon, and the less privileged have the least resistance to it. All this means is that socioeconomic status undeniably has an influence on how heavily globalization affects you, your friends, and your family.

Being a part of something bigger than ourselves: Global citizenship in the eyes of Stoicism

The world is shrinking, not literally, but in a manner that we are being connected with each other. The phenomenon of globalization, brought on by the rapid development of logistics and communications, directly affected how people interact with each other– creating global citizenship. My understanding of global citizenship has its roots in place with fate. Although it is unpleasant to think about, death is the ultimate ending everyone will meet regardless of skin, wealth, or beliefs. Mortality opens the discussion of why we should live and treat one another well, giving way to how we can achieve these in our own country and the world. Thus, global citizenship, essentially, is a guide to navigating the people and cultures of other nations driven by ethics, fairness, curiosity, and temperance.
