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.

World Cultures Comparison ProjectInstructions

Contents

Topic Brainstorm

(some removed)

  • economic prosperity (star)
  • free time use (star)
  • tv industry
  • energy demand/supply
  • the young generations
  • American influences (star and circle)
  • transportation
  • global influences
  • globalization (underlined)
    • "the export of artificial wants"

2nd Brainstorm: Globalization

Title

The Export of Artificial Wants

  • ??or too focused
  • or too crazy
  • What does that mean?
    • it may be clever but if I can't figure it out or Greg can't figure it out, then we shouldn't use it. - Groff

Pos/Neg

  • pos:
    • better standards of living
    • more equitable distribution of wealth
    • ending harsh global customs
      • shria law
      • etc.
    • outsourcing makes jobs
    • good in long term
  • neg:
    • putting too much on them?
    • bad diet?
      • China
    • exporting artifical wants
    • plundering and profits
    • ?talk about imperialism??
      • India
      • ?or only focus on present?

Format

  • debate, it seems would work best
    • Is Globalization ultimately good or bad?
    • each person gets topic
    • that way they research that 1 topic
    • they write a page (or so) about that topic
      • Plaz or some one glues it all together
    • then they are experts in that for debate
    • this has advantage because it compartmentalizes the work, so it can be easily split up
  • video????
    • what would it be of though????
    • the video could express the different relationships between the different cultures. Things would be represented in metaphors of course. Us as actors would represent different countries and with a clever script, this would be rather effective. This is good because it would reduce public speaking which Greg has had an unfortunate past with and seems to grasp the interest of students based on my past experiences in English with my Apartheid movie and Math with my Orchard Hideout Video. -- Groff
  • newspaper
    • groff: print it on real newspaper paper??
    • again, what would it say?
    • 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

Cultures

  • Latin America (req.)
  • Japan (food)
  • India (?imperialism)
  • Middle East (sharia)
  • ???

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.
