Abstract
Learning about the globalization process as an undergraduate student can be overwhelming, as it involves many aspects of understanding the major role capitalism plays in a dynamic, all encompassing setting. Using collectivism as a basis in an introductory course (perspectives on globalization), I encourage students to think of the collective good with all decision making, when possible; and to consider others in circumstances beyond their means. I am hopeful to be included in a discussion where instructors can discuss how we can all become more humane in our understanding of the globalization process. If we look at the threads of life, we recognize the advances that have been made, and how we in the global north have benefited from them. Advances in technology, social mobility, access to services, and choices have made most of our lives easier. A consumerist reality has emerged and it is hurting us, and the Earth. These are just some of the issues with globalization. In this session, we can discuss these issues and develop different strategies for teaching. Now due to the pandemic and a rise in online teaching; it is more crucial than ever to develop methods of teaching that truly reach all students interested in international exposure and duty. My focus is always on incorporation of real world nuances and student driven research and volunteerism.
