[[David Groff]], [[Jeff Barry]], [[Greg Nicosia]], and [[Michael Plasmeier]] had to for the [[World Cultures]] final project, compare a specific topic among different nations.  As we brainstormed, it morphed into more about what globalization is all about.  The project consists of a paper along with a 20 minute minimum oral presentation.  We chose to show a introduction video and then debate: globalization: good or bad?.  It was lots of fun and I learned a lot about globalization, a force changing our world today.  So if for good or bad, globalization will change everything.  Our teacher said no one has ever done globalization as a topic.  That was surprising.  So here are all of our brainstorming and work.  Enjoy.

**Plaz, I don't think you realize that a newspaper could have anything in it. We could write articles about protests in response to globalization or the effect. The newspaper would simply be a creative way to show a handout. With side-bars and editorials and advertisements and other newspaper effects this could once again be a clever and creative way to present information to the class. - Groff

Globalization: Good or Bad, is a good idea and we could use a video, but if we have a video, than we should definitely have a debate too. Don't worry Dave, that was just a fluke public speaking experience, i did fine with ms. jackson's 40 minute presentation (heck, got the best grade of my group). Besides this is only 20 minutes, so i'll be good. But yeah, we could each pick a country/region or topic involving globalization, research it, become experts, and make a heated debate using the information we gathered. We could each have pros and cons; or 2 of us could do pros, and 2 do cons if we're doing globalization as a whole.
+

+

We could first explain our research, show a video (if we want), and then have the debate, that should take up 20 minutes. But we still have plenty of time, so let's not worry too much about not getting the Comparisons project done.
+
−
 
+

Oh yeah, the newspaper idea is EXCELLENT. Let's use the newspaper as a creative handout, explaining our information. We could each write an editorial, that simply summarizes our research, and slip an opinion in the article if we want to. But we'll have to decide what our front page should look like, and make sure it covers all aspects of our project. Maybe a before/after map of globalization's effect on different cultures and regions. It'll be creative, I highly doubt anyone else would do it, and cobb would like the newspaper too.- Greg (long, but more to come as we get into the project!)

I actually think it might be good to end with the video for two reasons
+
−
    1) It has a determinable amount of time which can be used to meet a     
+
−
        time requirement and end with an ending to a movie that won't be
+
−
        something just like: "...and that was our presentation". Instead
+
−
        we would have a good ending that concluded the presentation
+
−
        efficiently.
+
−
    2) If the movie is good (assuming that it is good) we can end the
+
−
        presentation with a bang. Public speaking ettiquette clearly
+
−
        states that the most important elements of a presenation are the
+
−
        beginning and end. If the video is good then it should end the
+
−
        presentation so that no matter what Greg can think of to ruin the
+
−
        project public speaking wise. The ending will be good.
+
−
 
+
−
P.S. I am not serious Greg. However, your past is.
+
−
 
+
−
Yeh I know, my past was bad Dave, but trust me, I'm over that. but right, if the video is GOOD, we could end the presentation on a strong note. It would be better than, "that's our presentation," but we still need to make it clear to the audience/cobb that the video is our end, like "and now we'll conclude with a video," or something like that.- Greg

I think that we just shouldn't do it?

World Cultures Comparison (Final) Project on Globalization

David Groff, Jeff Barry, Greg Nicosia, and Michael Plasmeier had to for the World Cultures final project, compare a specific topic among different nations. As we brainstormed, it morphed into more about what globalization is all about. The project consists of a paper along with a 20 minute minimum oral presentation. We chose to show a introduction video and then debate: globalization: good or bad?. It was lots of fun and I learned a lot about globalization, a force changing our world today. So if for good or bad, globalization will change everything. Our teacher said no one has ever done globalization as a topic. That was surprising. So here are all of our brainstorming and work. Enjoy.

Grade:198/200

Points off for poor time management in debate; but movie was superb and we really knew what we were talking about. Good job group members!
