Banglore, outsourcing capital of the world

I read an article that explains that 175,000 out of 500,000 computer engineers work in Bangalore.  Bangalore is very high standard of technology in India. No other city in India can match and challenge Bangalore in terms of technology. Although the working conditions are not so good in Bangalore, but there are people working for. It is because the wages for the workers are 15% higher than any other places for software development workers. It is also very developed city compared to the capital, New Delhi, and economic hub, Mumbai.

WHAT HAS MADE BANGALORE THE CENTER OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND ICT IN INDIA IN THE FIRST PLACE?

The title of the article is:

Can ASEAN Respond to the Chinese Challenge?

 The Article explains what the Chinese do to bully the ASEAN nations in terms of the Spratly Island dispute. China and ASEAN members have signed the Document of Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, DOC and Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, or COC to reduce any sort of dispute among the countries.
But, unfortunately the DOC and COC did not work out but instead it made the tension greater for countries. Here are some of the actions of China to other ASEAN countries:
1. Unilateral Action
The chinese ships have invaded the Philippines without any notice.
2. Lack of Unity
 This may not be the fault of the China but then, the ASEAN countries do not stay together
3. Two Laying Low
 Countries basically do not want to get in trouble China even if they have doen something wrong.

My thoughts on the article is that, I always have thought of and I will continue to think the same unless the China changes their "style" of international actions. I know that they are a such big and rich country and they are not afraid of any countries and they seem to be bullying countries that very "shy" and no power. I guess what China should do to reduce tension is that they I know it is completely impossible for them to give up the Spratly Islands, but they can follow the EEZ law that is set by the UNCLOS. What they can do is share the natural resources. No one owns the land and the profits made from the Island can be shared among the countries according to the capital the countries put in. This idea of mine is very impossible and idealistic, but if that happens, Earth will be a good place for us to live.

The Korean Culture in Philippines #globalization

I know for a fact that there has been a cultural diffusion in the Philippines from K-pop. K-pop is a shortened term for Korean pop. Not only it is very popular in Korea, but it is also very famous in other countries. For example, since I am staying in the Philippines, Korean culture is somewhat diffused in the Filipino culture. There has been Korean television shows that has been dubbed in Tagalog and was shown on Filipino TV channels. TV series like Full House, Jumong, Lovers in Paris, Boys over Flowers, and etc.

These TV series were a heat when they were on show. When I was in school, my Filipino classmates would always talk about these TV series. It would create some interactions between Koreans and Filipinos with a topic that both knows. So the globalization happens.

    

Pros and Cons of Globalization

Pros	Cons
Globalization gives access to free trade among countries to promote global economic growth, creates jobs, and lowering prices for the consumers due to competition.	Globalization has made the poor poorer, but then making the rich richer. For example, multinational corporations are mostly for the richer because the poor cannot access the products and services that multinational corporations offer.
Globalization gives access to products that are foreign. For example, People in America uses Samsung phone which is made in Korea, riding a Mercedes which is from Germany wearing Breitling watch made in Switzerland.	Multinational corporations which play a great part of the globalization do not provide good working conditions for workers abroad. For example, Nike was accused by people for utilizing child labor because of cheap labor.
People get to travel, send information, and communicate at the vast amount of speed. Before people took weeks to go to Korea from the Philippines, but now it only takes four hours by flying. The mail took days or weeks to arrive, but now it only takes a second to send via e-mail.	The multinational corporations not only play in economy of the world, it also plays in politics of the world. Instances like, Samsung plays a role in Korean politics even with slightest decisions.
There is culture intermingling which means other people can learn other countries culture. Since the world is shrinking, people can travel places to place fairly quickly compared to 1900`s. So it is easy for Americans to go to Japan and learn their culture to eat sashimi and wearing kimono.	Although there are plenty of job opportunities, they might have to live with the fear of losing job any second. Multinational corporations may have a production sector in a developing country. Once, they have maximized the countries resources, they would leave the country leaving all the workers in the town.
Since a corporation may damage some aspects of a country, the government and the corporation may work out if there are any problems in the country whether it is environmental, social, political, or economical.	Through globalization, the term imperialism reappeared. The multinational companies are ruling over some underdeveloped countries to use the resources and even have a political control over the host nation.
