Note on Primary Assignments:
Each week you will submit a Primary Assignment. In many weeks, you can choose between two options for this assignment. Before you opt for which assignment option to answer, you will want to consider which option affords you the best opportunity to demonstrate learning based upon the assigned course materials. All Primary Assignments include a thesis statement, a bibliography (APA style), and the use and citation of three assigned reading articles from the current week and one assigned reading article from a previous week.
Learning Objective: Through analysis, we will recognize that social, political, and economic changes can be challenging, but they can also be beneficial.
Please note: Additional requirements for the Primary Assignment can be found by clicking on the Course Assignment Comments headline (above).
Here are several speeches from world leaders representing numerous approaches to globalism or globalization. Watch at least two of the supplied videos. Follow the 3+1 Rule, plus refer to two of the provided videos, to identify a pro and a con of how these forces of change affect your quality of life.
Present your findings as a speech. The format can either be a written speech or, ideally, a video recording of your thoughts. The speech should be no less than 500 words and no more than 700 words in length. Focus on the classroom provided materials to construct the arguments in your speech. Be sure to include a thesis statement and use your speech to support the argument in your thesis. Provide a clear and strong closing argument.
