The pre-colonial period is basically the time before Spain, France, Britain, Italy, and Germany began to travel to other countries. The colonial period was from around the 1450's to the mid 19th century, it was enabled mainly by the use of ships, which allowed the European countries to establish influence in different areas of the world, mainly South America and Africa, although India saw a lot of British influence. The pre-colonial period didn't have much interdependence between continents, the most contact that Africa had with Europe prior to the 1450's was with Greece and Rome, both of whom expanded to the areas around the Mediterranean sea. The colonies became the beginnings of gobalisation, and, though exploited, were a large part of what allowed Europe to become so powerful. Before the colonial period was the middle and dark ages in Europe, most other civilisations were isolated and kept mostly to themselves. It basically means before real contact, followed by colonisation, began to become popular. Colonialism can be viewed as either good or bad, but the main point is that it established the current state of globalisation and interdependence we see today.
Globalization affects every econmic sector - for the better nad worse, per se. In the agricultural sector, crop imports could be traded at cheaper prices, and could be exchange for another commodity becasue of the free trade - as entailed among the provisions of WTO. In this way, countries that rely primarily on agriculture (i.e. the Philippines), could purchase or import crops from another country at cheaper tariff rates, in case of a shortage. However, on the downside, countries that are more progressive agriculturally could just dump their third-rate or low-class products to their third-world trading counterpart. Thus, poor quality products could be received by the "lesser" country. "Quality Control" of the traded products is the main issue. The same thing holds true for the industrial sector. Exchnage of technoligical and industrial products will definitely exist. Both prducts may benefit mutually. Nonetheless, a possible detraction is again the instances of poor imported products from the superior countries, just like in the issue of the agricultural sector. Simply put, Globalization has its benefits as well as disadvantages. But generally, the free trade among nations - its exisitng policies - must be reviewed in order to protect the developing countries from receiving low-class imports. These countries are yet to adjust and compete globally, they are not ready to enter the fray and go head-to-head with the titans. Therefore, it must be imperative that the governing rules must be ammended. Although the free trade is yet to completely implemented, at least on the Philippine setting, nevertheless, it must be reviewed to protect and given cushion to the developing nations.
