I think globalization opens up new opportunities for development and wealth creation. But there are different opinions and views on globalization, economic and social consequences, which is actually a different impact on the various sectors of economic and social actors' interests and capabilities. In my country in school and university we don't speak about globalization.So from me it is hard to think about it and understand it. But i think it will be nice time to study this course.
Victoria,
ReplyDeleteYou have been successful in designing your blog. Congratulations!
Here is feedback to you on the theme “Globalization”
Concerning task 1 which is ..:”Reflect on this quote: Globalization can ... be define as the intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa.' (Anthony Giddens, former director of London School of Economics).
Though as you say, this topic is new for you, then you have described and reflected on what globalization and professional change is in a fine way as start.
Concerning task 2 which is ..:”Write core concepts from this challenge with definitions” “ In this section you collect 3-7 core concepts from each challenge to form your personal glossary on globalization.
FURTHERMORE, the section called ”Glossary” is designed for other words than the core concepts, that are new to you, and you yourself consider important to learn.
As far as I can see you have not jet written core concepts and started your “Glossary”. Therefore I have a proposal to you: See Aimee Mcafee´s blog under "Globalization" and under "Glossary" for inspiration. You can even cut and paste from her blog.
Yours
