ACTIVITY 1: VENN DIAGRAM
Directions: Using Venn Diagram, differentiate the two metaphors of Globalization:
Solidify and Liquidity.
Solidify
refers to barriers that prevent or make difficult the movement of things.
Solids can either be natural or manmade
Example
natural solids are landforms & bodies of water. Man-made barriers include the Great Wall of
China & the Berlin WallAn imaginary line such as the nine-dash line used by An imaginary line
such as the nine-dash line used by the People’s Republic of China in their claim to
The South China Sea is an example of modern man-madesolid.
Liquid or Liquidity
as state of matter, takes the shape of its container which means
liquids are not fixed, therefore,refers to the
increasing ease of movement of people,things, information & places in the contemporary
world.
For example, videos uploaded on
YouTube or Facebook are unstoppable once they become viral. These so-called internet
sensations become famous not only in their homeland but also to the entire world.
The forces (the liquid ones) made political boundaries more permeable to the flow of people or
things ( Cartier, 2000).This brings us to what Ritzer(2015, p.6) regarded as the most important
characteristic of liquid. It tends to melt whatever stands in its path(especially solids). The
clearest example is the decline, if not death of the nation-state.
Similarity
Liquidity & solidify are in constant interaction,liquidity is the one increasing & proliferating
today.Therefore, the metaphor that could best describe globalization is liquidity.
