Good morning!

Please take a copy of the prom article from

the front table and begin reading.

Also, please set your homework on your desk

so I can check it.
 Group Discussion:

Homework
1. Greet each group member!
2. Briefly discuss your experience of doing the
homework. What was it like to do this assignment? Who
was able to find relevant articles? Who was frustrated?
Recorder: briefly describe each group members
reactions.
3. Pick one group member. Have him or her briefly
summarize their three articles, and how each relates to
globalization. Do not read directly from your homework;
that is boring! (Recorder does not need to write this
down)
4. Other group members: look at the list of
globalization elements, and offer feedback on how these
articles do or do not relate to globalization.
Recorder: briefly summarize the feedback.
3. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until each group member has
shared their articles.
 Debating Globalization
What is globalization?

When did it start?

Can it be stopped/slowed down?

Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Do the

positives outweigh the negatives, or not?
What opportunities does it offer? What
problems/challenges does it create?
Who is it helping, who is it hurting?

How can we maximize its positive potential

and mitigate its downside(s)?
