Global Village Seminar Prewrite
TYPE 2 paragraphs total. Choose two of the following questions to
respond to, and write one paragraph for each question:
- What are the pros and cons of the world Pico Ayer describes? For you? For people living in other nations/parts of the world?
- What does he mean in his title? What does he mean by a global village? Why does he say it has “finally” arrived?
- Would you rather live in a world that is less connected, but in which you have a strong sense of national identity, or a world that is hyper-connected, but in which your identity is diluted?
