WOMEN AND GLOBALIZATION

Positive impacts of Globalization towards women

1. Women’s employment opportunities have increased. So they can help their

family’s needs. In the fastest growing service sectors, demand for female
employment is increasing like data processing sector, industrial export sector,
airlines, railways, banks and insurance companies.
2. Women health conditions are also improved while working in companies
rather than farms.
3. Globalization has increased average wages of women. In many cases, women
get higher wages then men in formal industrial sectors. It raises confidence
and independency among women.
4. Women have more jobs, become more active in avenues generally reserved
for men, have played a more prominent role in society and not just restricted
to the household.
5. Multinational companies offer jobs without discriminating between men
and women because they work in competitive environment and choose the
best employees regardless of their gender.
6. Impact on women’s education through Internet, social media, access to
higher education.
7. Women’s security has increased - with acculturation, better kitchen
electronic related gadgets.
8. Attitudinal changes towards women’s role in the family due to good
education, benefits of family planning and health care, child care, good job
opportunities etc. will surely help in the development of more confident
and healthy women.
9. Positive approach to economic and cultural migration will
facilitate women to be exposed to better prospects at the
international level.
10. Reduction in gender inequalities will have positive effect
on women’s empowerment in the socio-economic context.
Generally, G uproots the traditional views towards women so
they can take an equal stance in society!
 Negative impact of G towards women
1. Women work two full time jobs. Long working hours at
workplace and “unpaid” household chores.
2. Delaying marriage due to work leads to being single.
3. Sexual harassment at workplace.
4. Women living in rural areas are more exploited due to
illiteracy and unawareness.
5. Male migration from rural areas to urban centers has
putwomen under triple burden of home making, farming
and job in rural sector.
6. At the same time, migration of women for economic
reasons has led to increased sexual exploitation and
trafficking.
7. MNC’s have exploited women as source of cheap labor
denying them equal wages and maternity benefits.
8. Young girls are lured by the promise of a good job or for
marriage in another country. Traffickers exploit women’s
desire to make a better life for themselves with promises
of jobs as waitresses, dancers, models, maids and nannies.
9. Domestic violence against women and children due to
men’s addiction towards alcohol and tobacco.
10. Broken families forced women to provide the basis
necessities of their children alone!
• FEMINISM – is defined as the belief in social, economic and political
equality for women.
• Three waves undergone by feminists’ movements:
1. Seneca Falls New York in 1848 – Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia
Mott conducted the 1st women’s rights convention! Focused on women’s
fight for political and legal equality.
2. 1960-1970 –
3. Presence of Generation X’ers who grew up in Media-savvy and culturally/
economically diverse world!
 4 APPROACHES USED BY FEMINISTS IN THE CONTEXT OF G:

1. FOCUS ON SPECIFIC & CONCRETE ISSUES AND USE THEM TO

PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING GENDER
INJUSTICES
2. SHARED COMMITMENT TO CORE FEMINIST VALUES
3. INTERSECTINALITY AND SENSITIVITY
4. SELF-REFLEXIVE CRITIQUES

How do we protect women from threats and violence?

CAUSES OF FEMINISTS:
1. REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
“ Implicit in this area is the right of men and women to be
informed of and to have access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable
methods of fertility regulation of their choice, and the right of access to
appropriate health care services that will enable women to go safely thru
pregnancy and childbirth and provide couples with the best chance of
having a healthy infant.”
According to WHO:
Reproductive health is a state of complete physical,
mental and social well-being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity, in all matters relating to
the reproductive system and to its functions and
processes. Reproductive health implies that people are
able to have a satisfying and safe sex life and that they
have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to
decide if, when and how often to do so.
What is Reproductive Health Care?
Name of Office: FHO, NCDPC
Reproductive Health Care, according to the DOH, includes:
● Family Planning Services, counselling and information
● Prenatal, postnatal and delivery care
● Nutrition and health care for infants and children
● Treatment for reproductive tract infections & STDs
● Management of abortion-related complications
● Prevention and appropriate treatment for infertility
● IEC on human sexuality, reproductive health, responsible parenthood

ISSUE OF GLOBALIZATION, ETHICAL THEORY AND MORAL PRACTICE

WHAT IS ETHICS GLOBALIZATION?

-it refers to an inquiry that addresses ethical and
problems arising out of global interconnection and
interdependence of the world’s population.
2 models for creating world ethics:
#1. PACT MODEL – sees global ethics as limited to the
interaction between different moral traditions or
communities.
• It contains an agreement consisting of a set of rules and
commitments that cover interaction and exchanges between
groups and communities on the regional and global level.
Forms of Rules and Commitments:
#Commitment to peaceful co-existence #Tolerance
#Mutual Respect #Partnership #Possible cooperation
• However, such forms and commitments may not be enough to
achieve global order or global ethics.
• Because rapid degradation of the environment, deep rootedness
of injustice and inequality and radical intrusions into human life
by biotechnology are unlikely to be solved by this model.
 #2. UNION MODEL
• Attempts to achieve a deeper moral integration, a common ethical
core that would serve as a basis for regional moralities.
• Kymlicka states that WE can be achieved in 3 different ways:
1. Choosing one particular moral tradition and persuade others to
accept and follow it.
2. Invention of a new moral vocabulary and moral framework and
applying it globally eg. UN Human Rights Movement.
3. Use of two-level approach: a. Upper level –universal common
ground b. Lower level of plurality of local traditions and moral
dialogue exchange.
 Universal Declaration of Human Rights
• The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a
milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by
representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds
from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed
by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10
December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a
common standard of achievements for all peoples and all
nations.
• It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be
universally protected and it has been translated into over 500
languages.
• Article 1. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards
one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
• Article 2.Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in
this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour,
sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin,
property, birth or other status.
• Article 3. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.
• Article 4. No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the
slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.
• Article 5. No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or
degrading treatment or punishment.
 #3. Pluralistic Universalism
• Is a blend with the great moral theories such as
virtue ethics, Kantianism and Utilitarianism. These
theories point out 3 important items that are
essential to morality:
#1. Happiness, well-being or good life
#2. Justice
#3. Freedom
• According to Kant, normative evaluation is a matter of
practical reason which articulates to all rational beings a
single, absolute, objective moral principle called the
Categorical Imperative. For Kant, to be truly moral, a
principle must be good-in-itself, good for its own sake,
regardless of the consequences.
• 3 distinct formulations:
#1. Only act on a moral principle you would want others to act on.
#2. Always treat persons as ends, never as means to an end.
#3. All rational agents are morally autonomous.
• Utilitarianism is a moral theory that advocates
actions that promote overall happiness or pleasure
and rejects actions that cause unhappiness or harm.
• A utilitarian philosophy, when directed to making
social, economic, or political decisions, aims for the
betterment of society. "The greatest amount of good
for the greatest number of people" is a maxim of
utilitarianism.
• The philosophy is associated with Jeremy Bentham
and John Stuart Mill, two towering British
philosophers, and political thinkers.
• Hence PU is an approach that would
require an individual to enhance
happiness without producing injustice and
limiting freedom.
• This is to be internalized in a way that
yields moral virtue which then becomes a
guiding standard in making decisions and
will provide standards for evaluating
actions.

Exercise: Identify what primary duty is exercised or need to be
practiced in the ff. situations:
1. If you are carrying a heavy load into a building and a passer
by holds the door open for you.
= Gratitude
2. If you are an able-bodied passer-by not carrying anything
yourself and you notice someone trying to carry a heavy load
into a building, you might see immediately that you ought to hold
the door open for him or her.
=Beneficence
3. A normal ten-year-old may observe a neighbor child’s toy
and be tempted to add it to her collection, but she sees that

 Leadership is a complex moral relationship between
Ethical
people based on trust, responsibility, leadership
obligation, emotion
and shared vision of the good.
 But the heart of leadership lies on ethical values. Thus, it
entails greater responsibility to create, develop and
foster an ethical culture.
 So the need for a model of ethical leadership aimed at
addressing universal problems.
 An ethical leader can handle all the facets of
globalization to create good deeds to the people
regardless of culture and social orientation.
 Without bias, how do you assess Duterte’s leadership? Can you
consider him as an ethical leader? Defend your answer.
 REFLECTION
• Examine yourself now, then answer the
questions: Among the 10 primary duties, what
do you think is the most challenging in my life so
far? What seems to be the reason behind? How
will I practice it if circumstances ask me so. Give
some concrete ways to solidify your resolutions.
• PROVIDE YOUR OWN TITLE TO YOUR
REFLECTION.

ISSUE OF G: GLOBALIZATION AND GLOBAL JUSTICE
2 VIEWS ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIETY
AND JUSTICE:
1. THE COSMOPOLITAN VIEW – Holds that
our obligation of justice to one another is
a function of our moral status as human
beings regardless of the kind of
relationship.
2. COMMUNITARIAN VIEW – believes that there is a bigger
challenge since justice depends upon the prior existence of
social relationship which creates obligation of justice by defining
its principles, subjects and objects.
Communitarians maintained that although we share a
common humanity and mutual interest, obligations of justice is
difficult to achieve unless we share certain kinds of social
relations which is usually demonstrated and identified within a
nation expressed in terms of shared traditions, values, practices
and understanding.
 GLOBALIZATION AND CIRCUMSTANCE OF JUSTICE
2 CATEGORIES OF RAWL’S CIRCUMSTANCE OF JUSTICE:

1. OBJECTIVE CIRCUMSTANCE – means that an

individual cannot just simply go around for
everything he wants to do, resources can be found in
the same places and people can work together to
2. SUBJECTIVE CIRCUMSTANCE – this means
that individuals are altruistic, they showed a
desire to help each other to satisfy a goal. This
leads to cooperation as a means toward
achieving individual ends. This is what society
is all about as a cooperative venture for mutual
 2 GLOBAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF JUSTICE
1. CAPACITY TO HELP – as individuals we do have
the capacity to respond to the needs and
concerns of other beyond our boundaries.
2. CAPACITY TO HARM – because of G every nation’s
policies, politics and consumer choices are influencing
the life of others in a more direct and dramatic way.
Hence, we benefit from the economic and social
conditions of other countries.
• With the concept of global circumstances
of justice particularly the capacity to help
and harm each other, justice is possible
and necessary at the global level.
ISSUE OF G:SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ETHICS
• 2 Branches of Political Ethics
1. Ethics of Process – refers to the method used by
the public officials. The ethical problems that public
officials confront arise from 2 general features of
public office:
# Representational #Organizational
• Officials act for us and they act for others
2. Ethics of Policy – concentrates on
judgments about policy and law. This concerns
with what conclusion should be adopted as a
policy and coercively enforced a law when
citizens reasonable disagree about the values at
stake.
 7 PRINCIPLES OF PUBLIC LIFE
• These principles are considered norms that public
officials must respect.
1. PO should demonstrate honesty!
2. PO make decisions with objectivity and open about
the way in which they have reached those
decisions.
3. PO set aside their own interest when acting in their
official capacity!
4. PO should show leadership to others!
5. PO should be prepared to be held accountable
for their conduct through appropriate
mechanisms.
6. PO should demonstrate integrity.
7. PO should act in ways that are compatible with
their acceptance of public office and with its
concomitant responsibilities!
 CHALLENGES OF POLITICAL ETHICS
1. THERE IS NO FORMALLY ESTABLISHED BODY
OVERSEEING THE PROFESSIONAL ETHICS OF
POLITICIANS.
2. THERE ARE NO APPROPRIATE STANDARDS OF
POLITICAL CONDUCT FOR GENERAL AND/OR
PARTICULAR SITUATIONS.
3. THERE ARE NO CLEAR CENTRAL RESPONSIBILITIES
REQUIRED OF THE POLITICAL REPRESENTATIVES
AND HOW THEY ARE FULFILLED!
 THREE DIMENSIONS OF POLITICS
1. POLITICS IS A COMPETITION!

2. POLITICS IS AUTHORITY!

3. POLITICS IS ACCOUNTABILITY!
 ASEAN INTEGRATION
The ASEAN community started when 5
southeast Asian leaders decided to form a
union to foster the bond within their respective
nations. How?
This union was created through the ASEAN
Bangkok Declaration.
 FOUNDATION
• Date started: August 8, 1967 – the 5 ASEAN leaders sat
down together in the main hall of the Department of
Foreign Affairs in Bangkok and signed a document!
• The 5 founding fathers/leaders who signed the
document are Adam Malik of Indonesia, Narciso Ramos
of Philippines (Philippine sec. of Foreign affairs) , Tun
Abdul Razak of Malaysia, S. Rajaratnam of Singapore
and Thanat Khoman of Thailand!
Then over the past years more countries have
joined the ASEAN union including Brunei,
Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia!
Cause: Thailand offering reconciliation to
Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia over
certain disputes.
Thai Foreign office prepared the draft charter
of the new institution.
Meanwhile Singapore heard about the
meeting and sent their foreign minister.
It took four days to finish the meeting and
eventually created the ASEAN union!
 What are the objectives?
• It aims to help strengthen and stabilize each country’s
economic growth and development.
• It also helps to develop socio-cultural development and
Political security.
• Member countries support each other in preventing piracy,
terrorism and drug trafficking.
• It also offers more job opportunities, investors to develop
industries, promotes social responsibilities in times of disaster
and more opportunities for education!
• They envisioned to complete their goals in 2015!

 The ASEAN Economic Community
 Established on December 31, 2015
 It is a major milestone in the regional economic
integration agenda in ASEAN, offering opportunities
in the form of a huge market of 2.6 trillion US
dollars and over 622 million people.
 In 2014, the AEC was collectively the 3rd largest
economy in Asia and the 7th largest in the world!
• The AEC Blueprint 2025 adopted by the
ASEAN leaders at the 27th ASEAN summit
on November 22, 2015 in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia provides broad directions
through strategic measures for AEC from
2016-2025.
• It aims towards achieving the vision of having an AEC
by 2025 that is highly integrated, cohesive,
competitive, innovative and dynamic with enhanced
connectivity and sectoral cooperation, more
resilient, inclusive and people-oriented, people-
centered community integrated with the global
economy!
WHAT HAS IT ACHIEVED?
 ACHIEVEMENTS
• ASEAN is one of the success stories of
modern economics. In 2014, the region was
the seventh-largest economic power in the
world. It was also the third-largest economy
in Asia, with a combined GDP of US$2.6
trillion – higher than in India.
• Between 2007 and 2014, ASEAN trade increased by a
value of nearly $1 trillion. Most of that (24%) was trade
within the region, followed by trade with China (14%),
Europe (10%), Japan (9%) and the United States (8%).
• During the same period, foreign direct investment (FDI)
rose from $85 billion to $136 billion, and in share to the
world from 5% to 11%.
• With 622 million people ASEAN is the world’s third
largest market, which behind China and India has the
third largest labour force.
 What’s the next steps for AEC?
• Provided the agreement is well managed over the
next decade, the AEC could boost the region’s
economies by 7.1% between now and 2025 – which
is more than ASEAN’s growth of 5.4% of from 2004
to 2014. It could also generate 14 million additional
jobs, according to a study by the International
Labour Organization and Asian Development Bank.
• How does it affect other trade deals?
• The AEC is not the region’s only agreement. Three
months before the kick-off of the ASEAN
Community, four ASEAN countries (Brunei,
Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam) signed up to the
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Five other countries
(Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, the Philippines and
Thailand) are interested in joining.
• The TPP is a binding agreement, connecting
Asian countries to North American and Latin
American economies. While countries with
high export potential, such as Malaysia and
Vietnam, are expected to benefit significantly
from TPP, countries that did not sign the
agreement risk losing out.
• This could have a disruptive effect on the region due
to trade and investment diversion. Once all
agreements are in action, Singapore and Vietnam
would be the only two ASEAN countries with access
to Europe (via a free trade agreement), the US
(through TPP) and Asia (through the AEC and the
Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership).
 What’s the future of the AEC?
• The situation is not without complexities and
uncertainties. Nevertheless, through the entry
routes to different blocs, the AEC might eventually
unleash significant unforeseen potential for the
ASEAN countries –
• especially once the TPP and RCEP, with
approximately 40% and 30% of global GDP
respectively, come into force.
 BORDERS AND IDENTITIES

• IDENTITY IS REFERRED AS BELONGING TO A

POLITICAL, CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC COMMUNITY!

and asserting identity by maintaining difference
from others and it gives homogenous identity to the
people occupying the place!
