• One question should require students to make a connection.

Seminar Prewrite

TYPE 2 paragraphs.  Choose two of the following questions to respond to:

1. What are the pros and cons of the world Pico Ayer describes?  For you?  For people living in other nations/parts of the world?
2. What does he mean in his title?  Why does he say the global village has “finally” arrived
3. 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?
