Global Village Seminar Reflection

Complete the seminar reflection linked above.  Resources for paragraphs 2, 4, and 5 are found below.

Paragraph 2:  Detailed Response

Seminar Questions

1. What is the global village?  Why does he use that term?  What does he mean that it has “finally” arrived?
2. What is Ayer saying about identity and how it is formed in a globalized world?
3. Is this “new world order” that he is describing ultimately a positive or a negative shift?  In what ways?
4. How are our societies going to have to change to adapt to this global village?
5. What is the role of America in this new world order?
6. P4: What does he mean that souls are mingling?  Why does he use the word choice “souls”?
7. How is the globalization happening today fundamentally different from the globalization that Iyer describes as happening in the past?
8. Would you rather live in a world that is less connected, but in which you have a strong sense of national/cultural identity, or a world that is hyper-connected, but in which your identity is diluted?
9. Is the daily revision of identity, and increased fluidity of identity ultimately positive or negative?  Why?
10. Do you think that your identity has been affected by the processes Iyer is describing?  How so/not?

Paragraph 4:  Lori's Choice

No writing here!  Draw a cartoon on an 8.5 x 11" paper that represents a clear perspective on globalization.  You could represent a perspective from the article, show a perspective you heard in seminar, or show your own perspective.  

Paragraph 5:  CHALLENGE EXTENSION!

Discuss how Iyer's view of globalization either challenges or reinforces the descriptions put forth in Friedman's "The Lexus and the Olive Tree."

IF YOU WERE ABSENT FOR SEMINAR...

If you were absent for seminar, you need to complete a seminar makeup.  To do this, you need to choose 4 of the seminar questions listed above.  Answer each question with a fully developed TEA paragraph that uses evidence from the text (set up your quotes!!!) to support your opinions.
