Points of view on globalization It is a beneficial and progressive phenomenon at its core, which will contribute to solving the main problems of mankind. Globalization has only negative consequences. Which of these points of view more adequately reflects reality and why?
Globalization is the process of integration of states and peoples in different fields of activity. The transition from an industrial society to an information society, to high technologies. The transition from the centralization of the economy to its decentralization. The transition from the national economy to the global one. The transition from an alternative choice (either/or) to a variety of choices. The use of new communication technologies: Internet, satellite television Reasons
What changes have taken place in the world? Review the diagram and comment on it. The ability to effectively cope with the demands placed on the state has weakened. The functions and areas of responsibility of the national state have expanded. Goods, capital, people, knowledge, as well as crime, easily cross state borders. TNCs, social movements and relationships have begun to penetrate almost all spheres. human activity Globalization
In the nai to a greater extent the tendency to erase boundaries is manifested in the economy. There is a division of labor not on a regional or national, but on a planetary scale. Financial markets have also been embraced by globalization. They began to play a role independent of the market. Economic boundaries between countries are blurring. The degree and role of mutual influence are increasing. national economies on each other Integration processes in the world economy are intensifying (IMF, World Bank, WTO) The symbol of globalization is transnational corporations
Multidimensionality of globalization processes Aspect Essence 1. Technological High technologies are becoming a determining component of ensuring the security, prosperity and geopolitical status of the country in the world community 2. Political The priorities of state policy in the international arena are gradually shifting towards the economy, which is naturally accompanied by increased competition. A gradual transition from “power games” between states to “games of well-being” 3. Cultural With the openness of state borders and the intensification of communication between people, under the influence of the development of means of communication and under the influence of the media, certain prerequisites are created for the formation of a single human community united by common goals , values and interests Working with the text of the textbook, fill out the table
Conclusions: 1. Globalization is an objective process of transformation of society under the influence of scientific and technical progress, a technological breakthrough in the field of computer science, electronics, biotechnology 2. This process affects all parties modern society 3. The benefits of globalization are obvious. It promises economic growth, improved living standards and new opportunities 4. However, in the reality of globalization, like any major socio-political phenomenon, it also has its downside
Imagine we are attending a meeting round table. The issue of the contradictory nature of the globalization process is discussed. What arguments will you give for and what arguments against globalization? Pros Cons Thanks to the development of communications and television broadcasting networks, today hundreds of millions of people in different parts of the globe can listen to or watch a fashionable theater production, the premiere of an opera or ballet performance, or take part in a virtual tour of the Hermitage or the Louvre 1. The influence of globalization processes on the sphere of spiritual culture. 2. The same technical means deliver completely different examples of culture to the audience: unassuming video clips, annoying advertising. Unification of behavior patterns and lifestyles 3. The differentiation of countries by level of development is maintained and even deepened 1. The influence of globalization processes on the sphere of spiritual culture is sharply criticized. 2. The same technical means deliver completely different examples of culture to the audience: unassuming video clips, annoying advertising. Unification of behavior patterns and lifestyles 3. The differentiation of countries by level of development persists and even deepens
Thus, the consequences of globalization are very contradictory. On the one hand, the growing interdependence of various countries and regions of the world is obvious. On the other hand, global problems and geo-economic rivalry are a permanent state, the purpose of which is to improve the market position of one’s country, creating conditions for continuous and fairly dynamic growth. Which of the points of view on globalization presented above do you think more adequately reflects reality and why?

Globalization Pros and Cons
Completed by: Golovneva V.D. Checked by: Guskova I.V.
Slide 2
Globalization is the process of worldwide economic, political and cultural integration and unification. The main consequence of this is the global division of labor, planet-wide migration of capital, human and production resources, standardization of legislation, economic and technological processes, as well as the rapprochement and fusion of cultures of different countries. This is an objective process that is systemic in nature, that is, it covers all spheres of society. As a result of globalization, the world is becoming more connected and more dependent on all its subjects. There is both an increase in the number of problems common to groups of states and an expansion in the number and types of integrating entities.
Slide 3
The main area of globalization is international economic system(world economy), i.e. global production, exchange and consumption carried out by enterprises in national economies and in the global market. By the end of the twentieth century. the international economic system has become complex structure, numbering about 200 political units, including 186 states. All of them, to one degree or another, participate in the production of the total product and try to build and regulate their national markets. Globalization has great influence on the economy of all countries, which is multidimensional in nature. It affects the production of goods and services, the use labor force, investments in "physical" and human capital, technologies and their spread from one country to another. All this ultimately affects production efficiency, labor productivity and competitiveness.
Slide 4
Globalization, being an objective trend in the development of human civilization, opens up additional features and promises considerable benefits for individual countries. Thanks to this objective process, savings on production costs are achieved, the allocation of resources on a global scale is optimized, the range and quality of goods on national markets is expanded, and achievements of science, technology and culture become widely available.
Slide 5
TNCs (Transnational Companies) play a positive role in creating modern industries in developing countries. But this process in its current forms is associated with costs and threats to national economies, not only of poor countries, but also of rich countries. The problem is that it is not easy for individual countries, especially small and poor ones, to control what happens outside their borders, and spontaneous or directed by strong powers global processes may also have negative consequences for them.
Slide 6
The benefits of economic globalization are not realized automatically, and not all countries experience them equally. Moreover, in the eyes of many of them, rich and powerful states find themselves in an unfairly more advantageous position. No matter how great the achievements of economic globalism of the last two decades of the 20th century were, they did not remove from the agenda the need to overcome dangerous gaps in the levels of economic development of countries, a task that in the 70s was at the epicenter of the movement for a new international economic order. The 20% of the world's population living in rich countries accounts for 86% of the world's GDP, while the 20% living in poor countries accounts for only 1%.
Slide 7
There is also no convincing evidence that the process of globalization has contributed to sustainable economic growth on our planet. An analysis of the most important economic and social indicators countries of the world over the last twenty years of the 20th century (1980-2000) in comparison with the previous twenty years (1960-1980) showed a slowdown in global progress in many areas. The annual rate of economic growth per capita has decreased noticeably for all groups of countries studied - from the super rich to the super poor. For example, in the group of the poorest countries they fell from 1.9% to 0.5%, in countries with middle incomes - from 3% to less than 1%.3 With the exception of the group of the richest countries, life expectancy in the remaining groups decreased , progress has slowed in reducing child mortality, which remains unacceptably high in the poorest and middle-income countries, and in developing school education and eradication of illiteracy. In short, globalization has little effect on overcoming backwardness, eliminating poverty, malnutrition, and dangerous diseases. And the matter lies not only in the legacy of colonialism and historical fate, but also in the shortcomings of today's organization of economic life in individual countries and on a global scale.
Slide 8
The leading role in the global system is played by a small number of states, mainly united within the framework of the Big Seven (G7) - the USA, England, Germany, Italy, Canada, France, Japan. They determine the policies of key interstate organizations; they primarily receive the fruits of economic globalization. The fate of the overwhelming majority of other states is to try to adapt to the conditions of international trade and currency relations that are emerging practically without their participation. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the number of small states increased significantly in the 20th century due to the collapse of colonial empires and multi-ethnic states, a process that intensified after the Second World War and the collapse of the world socialist system. They are mostly economically weak, politically fragmented, and their voices are international organizations insignificant.
“Modern Society” - To the survey. I do not agree that people nowadays have become more immoral. Increasing the share of “educational” subjects (ethics, cultural studies, world culture, aesthetics, etc.). Challenges of modern society. Consumer competition (to be “no worse than others”, and on the other hand, “not to blend in with the crowd”).
“Diaspora” - Limited to individual initiative, particularly in the case of India, South Africa. Kuznetsov). Unstable employment and resident status. Favorable visa regimes. Lack of institutional support, support of private companies. Diaspora mapping: quantity, location, characteristics. Diaspora promotion by skill type.
“Problems of modern society” - 9 foci. Years ago. 3. In the center there were nine hearths that heated the home. 56 thousand How did a person become a reasonable person? 1. New media are already linked together around the world. How man became a reasonable man. Pithecanthropus.
“Media” - Soon, probably, the Internet will become a full-fledged means mass media. Internet resources used. Television today is one of the most popular media. What is the media? Project on the topic “Media”. It is difficult to say whether the Internet is a mass media.
“The role of the media” is a provocative role. Disinformation role. Informational role. Theoretical part. The role of Internet technologies in the events of December 2010. Introduction. Distortion of information Fabrication of facts (outright lies) Concealment Sinking of the message. Practical part. Preventive role Informational role Provocative role Disinformation role.

In the early 80s. XX century American sociologist J. Naisbit identified new trends in world development - the transition: from an industrial society to an information society; development of technology to the development of high technologies; closed national economy to open world economy; short-term tasks of planning and development programming to setting long-term strategic goals; trends of centralization towards decentralization; hierarchical to network type of organization of social and political space; alternative choice (according to the “either-or” principle) to a variety of choices; developed North to developing South.
Slide 4
What changes have taken place in the world? Review the diagram and comment on it. Globalization The ability to effectively cope with the demands placed on the state has weakened Goods, capital, people, knowledge, as well as crime, easily cross state borders Global systems of trade, finance and production have tied together the fate of housewives, groups and entire nations TNCs, social movements and relations of steel penetrate almost all spheres of human activity The functions and responsibilities of the national state have expanded
Slide 5
The trend towards blurring boundaries is most evident in the economy. How does this happen? What does it lead to? Let's investigate this problem. Globalization of the economy There is a division of labor not on a regional or national scale, but on a planetary scale. There is a blurring of economic boundaries between countries. Mechanisms for regulating world markets at the supranational level are emerging. The degree and role of mutual influence of national economies on each other is increasing. Financial markets are also being embraced by globalization. They began to play a role independent of the market. Integration processes in the world economy are intensifying (for example, the creation of the European Union). The symbol of globalization is transnational corporations. Their activities: reduce differences between countries within regions; influences people's lives; increases economic dependence; contributes to the creation of a planetary culture; accelerates integration and development of new technologies; leads to the unification of the image and standard of living

Working with the textbook text on p. 388-389, fill out the table “Multidimensionality of globalization processes.”
Slide 7
Technological High technologies are turning into a determining component of ensuring the security, prosperity and geopolitical status of a country or people within the world community. Dominate high technology(primarily information, communication and biotechnologies). They are directly related to the central resource of the new economy - the production of knowledge. Technology has become a universal means of economic, cultural and political development. At the same time, they are playing an increasingly significant role in changing international economic relations. They expand the possibilities of subordinating many enterprises scattered across different regions to direct control concentrated in one place
Slide 8
Political Under the influence of economic globalization, government policy priorities in the international arena are gradually shifting to the economic sphere, which is naturally accompanied by increased competition. The forms of regulation of this competition will in the future have a great influence not only on world economy, but also to the entire area of international security and political relations. The essence of the changes taking place is a gradual transition from “power games” between states seeking to expand their territories to “prosperity games”, in which the goal of economic growth is set. Instead of the confrontation between states that has dominated for centuries, an extra- and supra-state system emerges financial markets, organizations, structures
Slide 9
Cultural Under the influence of technical and technological changes, globalization is increasingly manifested in the field of culture. With the openness of state borders and the intensification of communication between people, under the influence of the development of means of communication and under the influence of the media, certain prerequisites are created for the formation of a kind of unified human community, increasingly united by common goals, values and interests. Powerful broadcasting corporations have enormous influence on the widest international audience, since programs from the world's largest television companies can now be received almost anywhere in the world. In terms of broadcast volume and audience reach, television has become an unprecedented cultural force. Not only informational, but also entertainment youth channels (such as MTV) are becoming increasingly widespread. The development and strengthening of the influence of the media is also one of the manifestations and at the same time a factor in the deepening of the globalization process. The Internet plays a big role
