(Word count: 1,159)
How Globalization affects family life is one of the most challenging subjects on
the families and households' definition. Globalization is the process of people and
businesses connecting around the world, resulting in cultural, political, and economic
convergence. It is the ability to freely move around the world and communicate with
people in order to conduct international commerce. The way governments, businesses,
and individuals interact is changing as a result of Globalization. It alters the character of
international economic activity by expanding commerce, establishing global supply
chains, and facilitating access to natural resources and labor markets. In many cases,
the quality of life for individuals living in developing countries has improved. Because of
the worldwide growth of businesses, many emerging countries have seen an increase in
their level of life due to improved roads and transportation, improved health care, and
higher education as a result of Globalization. There is three main types of Globalization,
economic, political, and cultural globalization. The growth of trade systems inside
transnational entities such as companies or NGOs is called economic Globalization.
Financial Globalization is associated with developing a worldwide financial system
based on international financial and monetary transactions. The term "political
globalization" refers to expanding the global political system in terms of both size and
complexity. Political Globalization is one of the three significant elements of
Globalization widely discussed in academic literature. Cultural Globalization is a
process in which the uniformity of cultural expressions throughout the world is reflected
1
in everyday life as affected by the dissemination of commodities and ideas. Although
homogenizing effects occur, they are far from producing anything resembling a single
global culture. I have many experiences in Globalization in my own family. Some of
them are economic, political, and cultural Globalization. To be sincerely speaking in my
humble opinion without being sentimental and of course without offending anyone who
thinks differently from my opinion but rather looking into this serious matter with
perspective distinction and without condemning anyone's point of view, I honestly think
and believe that Globalization in the family is crucial.
Globalization in the family has economic effects, and it can be positive and be
harmful. Economic Globalization refers to the expansion of trade systems inside
transnational institutions such as corporations or non-governmental organizations. The
emergence of a global financial system based on international financial and monetary
transactions is known as financial Globalization. On the positive side of Globalization
that has economic effects on the family; Economic Globalization, according to global
optimists, has resulted in more commerce, which has led to massive economic
development and more incredible wealth, which has been associated with falling birth
rates and family sizes. More families are stretched over national borders and have
family members living abroad due to increased migration, which promotes Globalization
by allowing more families to retain touch through media and actual visits. On the
negative of Globalization that has economic effects on the family; Some countries are
finding it difficult to compete. Many families in the world cannot compete with others
economically. Some foreign corporations and investors in resource-rich countries

engage in extractive conduct, impeding economic diversity. My family responded and is
responding to these benefits and drawbacks by; Handling the challenges very well and
savoring the positive opportunities that come in life.
Globalization in the family has political effects, and it can be positive and be
harmful. The phrase "political globalization" refers to the growing scale and complexity
of the global political system.Globalization is made up of three main components that
has received much attention in academic literature is political Globalization. On the
positive side of Globalization that has political effects on the family, political
Globalization can be seen when families discuss politics in the household, mainly while
having their dinner. People talk about politics almost everywhere, and sometimes you
can overhear bystanders talking about politics in the streets. It contributes to
international peace. It lowers the chance of invasion, increases checks on significant
powers, and limits nationalism, thus a safer and happier family. On the negative of
Globalization that has political effects on the family; In terms of representation and
accountability, the functioning of international and supranational organizations is
frequently not "democratic." Some families can be affected by this, and it needs to be
stopped. Countries can sometimes exercise their veto power over choices, slowing
down the decision-making process. Many families can be affected by these because
one wrong decision of vetoing can harm many families. My family responded and is
responding to these benefits and drawbacks by; Handling the challenges very well and
savoring the positive opportunities that come in life.

Globalization in the family has cultural effects, and it can be positive and be
harmful. Cultural globalization is a process through which the world's cultures merge.
worldwide uniformity of cultural expressions is mirrored in everyday life due to the
spread of commodities and ideas. Although homogenizing influences do occur, they are
far from resulting in a unified worldwide culture. On the positive side of Globalization,
which has cultural effects on the family, more people form online friendship groups
based on common interests. If we look at it from personal life, many people consider
these social networks family—improved comprehension of foreign values and attitudes.
There will be less stereotyping and misunderstandings about other people and cultures.
Most families in the Philippines find jobs abroad to support their families. Cultural
Globalization they can understand their culture even before the Filipinos go abroad. On
the negative of Globalization that has cultural effects on the family; Violent or dangerous
ideologies can also spread quickly (note the international character of the terror group
IS). This can get worse if you have family members that are working abroad. Some
minor civilizations may lose their distinguishing characteristics. If your family respects
the old traditions, then this will be bad news to your family. My family responded and is
responding to these benefits and drawbacks by; Handling the challenges very well and
savoring the positive opportunities that come in life.
To some extent, multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism are symptoms of cultural
Globalization. Even those who cannot travel can have a decent grasp of various
cultures and virtually meet people from other regions of the world today, as communities
are less insulated than at any previous time in history. People's attitudes and lifestyles

evolve as a result of global cultural and consumption trends. The political dimension of
the globalization debate is a newer feature, Over the last 30 years, international and
regional institutions such as the European Union (EU), the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations (UN), the World Trade
Organization (WTO), MERCOSUR in South America, and the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN) have increased their influence and power (ASEAN).
International and supranational players increasingly shape domestic politics.
Globalization in the family is a basic recipe for success in terms of a better world and a
better future for you and your family and all the family in the world.
