Which term is the recognition of global systems and relationships?

• A. Interconnectedness
• B. Global Competence
• C. Overseas Filipino Workers
• D. International Education Initiative

Answer: (A)

Interconnectedness is the recognition that global systems—economies, cultures, environments, and information networks—are linked and affect one another. This perspective explains why events in one corner of the world can ripple through markets, supply chains, and ecosystems elsewhere, and why actions taken locally can have global consequences. Global competence is about the ability to understand and engage effectively in a global context, which is related but refers to the skills and mindset rather than the recognition of connections. The other options point to a population group or a program, not the idea of how systems are tied together. So the best term for recognizing global systems and relationships is interconnectedness.
