Task 7 – Diversity and Globalization

After working through the materials in Lesson 7, consider whether you think that globalization has positive or negative effects on different culture(s) and on diversity.

Gather specific reasoning, details, and quotes from the sources provided in Lesson 7 to support your stance on globalization.

Write a 2-3 page (double-spaced) essay in which you argue a specific claim about globalization, drawing from the resources provided in Lesson 7 to support your claim. For example, you could choose to agree or disagree with one of the perspectives in the sources, or you could argue for globalization being overall positive, overall negative, or somewhere in between. Structure your paper using the below guideline:

• INTRODUCTION (1 paragraph): Start your paper by defining globalization in your own words and explaining why it is an important issue. Include a thesis statement where you make a specific claim about globalization and culture/diversity. Provide a roadmap where you map out your paper and list the subpoints you will elaborate on in your body paragraphs.
• BODY (3-4 paragraphs): Divide your body into 3-4 paragraphs according to subpoints that support your thesis, and place them in a logical order. Use reasoning, details, and quotes from the sources in Lesson 7 to support your claims. If you look up any additional sources, you must cite them correctly using APA format. You MUST reference 2-3 sources from Lesson 7 even if you do look up additional sources.
• CONCLUSION(1 paragraph): Restate your thesis. Explain how the information in your paper can be applied moving forward.
