how the world is changing

Overview:

Globalization is the emergence of a complex web of interconnectedness that means that our lives are increasingly shaped by events that occur, and decisions that are made, at a great distance from us. Distinctions are commonly drawn between economic globalization, cultural globalization and political globalization. However, there are significant debates about whether globalization is actually happening and how far it has transformed world politics and power.

****** * The main question of this paper is that (does globalization threaten cultural diversity?)

I added to two short articles combined as PDF who answered this question by simple answers YES or NO:-

1_ YES: Allan Brian Ssenyonga, “Americanization or Globalization?”

2_ NO: Philipp Legrain, “In Defense of Globalization”

———–

The paper is about:

  • The ability to formulate a clear and concise argument. So, it must have a thesis statement and underline it to make argument and support it by using those two articles.
  • It is about the ability to carefully and critically read, evaluate, analyze, and deploy those sources in the service of your argument.

—- Here is the basic outline of a classical argument paper:

Introduction: Get readers interest and attention, state the problem and explain why they should care about globalization and threatening cultural diversity?

Background: Provide some context and key facts surrounding the problem.

Thesis: State your position or claim and outline your main arguments by answering this (does globalization threaten cultural diversity?)

Argument: Discuss the reasons for your position and present evidence to support it (largest section of paper—the main body). Underline the thesis statement.

Refutation: Provide opposing arguments AND convince the reader why opposing arguments are not true or valid. Here you can use more the two articles more.

Conclusion: Summarize your main points, discuss their implications, and state why your position is the best position.

IMPORTANT

1-MLA-style format- example: ( last name, # of the page). All information that you directly quote or paraphrase needs a citation in the last page.

2- No need to use other sources rather than the two articles that I gave. BUT if you need 1 or 2 academic the sources and list them on the last page.
