Poster about one of Globalization Dimensions Assignment | Online Assignment
globalization dimensions
Your Final Assignment (replacing a traditional final)
Will be to create a visual, graphic poster explaining concepts related to globalization.
To create your poster, you can use a program such as Canvio or even powerpoint will work well.
You are going to explain one of the dimensions of globalization we discussed in lecture: disembedding, delocalization, acceleration, standardization, interconnectedness, movement, mixing, vulnerability, re-embedding.
On your poster you need to show three things.
- Explain the dimension of globalization you have chosen in your own words, not just copying from the powerpoint
- Explain the example you have chosen as an example of your dimension
- Explain how your example is in fact related to your chosen dimension. You need to successfully make your case and convince me why your example is representative of that dimension!
When I say example, I mean some real life phenomenon that is an expression of your dimension. I gave lots of examples in my lecture. For example, Slow Food Movement as an example of re-embedding. Chicken Tikka poutine as an example of mixing. Carrefour in Greece as an example of standardization. In my lecture, I have these examples and an explanation.
You may NOT use any examples I spoke about in my lecture. You must think of one of your own. It can be an art form, a food, an incident relating to refugees, an international organization…..and so on and so on, there are millions of choices.
If you are lost, please re-listen to the lecture on globalization. You can also refer to the reading by Eriksen which I recently added to your folder.
