- 2. The identify of the Filipino today is a person asking what is his identity. -Nick Joaquin
- 3. INTRODUCTION: • One of the contemporary issues that confront the notion of personhood is the challenge of globalization. Its “reality and omnipresence makes us see ourselves as part of what we refer to as the ‘global age’”(Aldama, 2018). There are diverse views on globalization, in such that not one definition can fully encompasses its full meaning. Economists define globalization as the “increasingly close economic ties among countries.”
- 4. • Travel, trade, immigration and accelerated pace of technological advance are some that are included in this definition (Hassan & Kabir, 2002). • Globalization can also refer to a set of social conditions and covers areas such as “global economic, political, cultural and environmental interconnections and flows that make many of the currently existing borders and boundaries irrelevant” (Stegar, 2003). • Globalization can also refer to all manners of contemporary change: communication, economy, and equality between men and women. (Giddens & Hutton, 2000). • Globalization can then be summarized as “the process of wordly gain, by using wordly intellectual knowledge, skills and cultures, maximizing profit without consideration of other values to make global one and the uncontrolled economic, political and cultural change.” (Rahman & Uddin, 2017)
- 5. Globalization is part of human history. It has emerged due to the need of societies to be connected and be interdependent of one another for trading of goods and services. Others define globalization as a “social condition characterized by the existence of global economic, political, cultural and environmental interconnections” (Stegar, 2003). The trends of globalization have brought about various changes in the systems of the families across the globe.
- 6. The Influence of Globalization on Families One of the major effects of globalization is its impact on culture, identity, and family life. This also applies to a community of people and to the whole nation. The muslims have enumerated some positive and negative impacts of globalization.
- 7. The Muslims considered the effect of globalization on family values as one of its major negative effects (Muzaffar, 2008, as cited in Rahman & Uddin, 2017). Globalization as affected the function of the family in the passing on of their beliefs and ideologies (Qutub, n,d., as cited in Rahman & Uddin, 2017)
- 8. • enhanced communication • strengthened democracy and human rights • improved status of women in the society • creation of job opportunites • reduced poverty • increased income • development of better communication and information technology (Muzaffar, 2008, as cited in Rahman & Uddin, 2017)
- 9. The Changing Roles of the Family Due to Globalization The family, as an adaptive institution, can adjust to the various changes happening around the globe. One cannot undermine the important role of the family in shaping and developing individuals. The values, attitudes and skills they learned in the family not only influence them on a personal level but also at an institutional level.
- 10. There exists a reciprocal relationship between the family and social institutions. The family, although an adaptive institution, still tries to preserve its traditional values and norms in the midst of societal changes. About by modernization, urbanization, and industrialization of most cultures around the world. These movements caused the Filipino family to somehow shift from traditional views and practices to more modernized ones (Medina, 2015).
- 11. These shifts are as follows: 1. Alteration of female roles in the family. – Women were traditionally assigned to care for the members of the family at home, but the ethos of globalization called for the involvement of women in the workforce. 2. Shift in the authority role of husbands/fathers. - Most production activities are now concentrated outside the home. 3. Family role structure changes. – Because women now share an almost equal amount of time working outside the home, her roles in child care and household chores are now shared with her husband.
- 12. 4. Empowerment of individuals and decreased dependence on the family. – The family played an important role in the socialization of children. 5. Breakdown of kin-related family as a functional unit. –Family relationships ceased to become strong, significant, and satisfying unlike before. 6. More permissive norms and behavior. – Many cities now become the center of social disorganization. 7. Increased involvement of extended family members. – With the influx of both men and women getting involved in the economic sense, children were left in the care of other significant family members.
- 13. Despite these shifts in the Filipino family structure, social scientists refuted the common observations that nuclear families become relatively more isolated and independent of kin. The empty nest family life stage has also been put into question because individuals fail to leave the home due to delay in child launching and the increase in middle-aged women who are caring for older parents. (Medina, 2015)
