GLOBALIZATION.
(a)Globalization.
Globalization (Globalisation) is the Worldwide
step forward movement towards economic, financial, trade
and communication integration. Also a term Globalization refers to a continuous
process of international integration arising from interchanging of World views,
products as well as all the aspects of culture and communication.
Globalization as a process; Implies the
opening and free the local and Nationalistic perspective to a broader outlook
of interconnected and interdependent World with free transfer of capital, goods
as well as services across the National frontiers, (IMF’1 2002).
(b)The
impact of Globalization on Education of TWC2
Globalization has simplified and made
easy a process of teaching and learning through the innovation of technology by
using electronic devices such as video projection screens, books with storage
device servers and compact disc (CD) hence more programs and education materials
are made available. Apart from a positive impact explained above also
globalization has led into negative impacts as follows;
Globalization leads into lowering of
individual incomes for day to day life activities including Educational
matters. In “Communist Manifesto”, Karl Max famously warned that Globalization
in the large multinational companies in form of free capitalism will leads into
distractions of local trades which could
have been done at National or Regional level, this finally leads into lowering
of individual income. Therefore the decline of local trades’ results into
failure of the people to accommodates and sustain the cost of Education hence
drop out and unquality of education.
Similarly the growth and development of Globalization
leads into disintegration and loss of local culture which may influence the
decline moral conducts of the children and the youth in Third World
Countries….; however this is due to rapid and unselective spread of
Globalization. Remember local culture varies slightly from country to country.
Furthermore Globalization has resulted
into extremely poverty due to disparity of socio-economic conditions between
the developed countries and the developing countries; these are the results of imperialism
and the effects of capitalists (SWASSD3, 1995).
Globalization has had many obvious effects
on education technology and communication. The development of this technology
is facilitating the transition from an industrial based society to an information
based one.
