Q For this project you will write a reflection paper on globalization and global interdependencies. Please begin by selecting an area of interest from these three broad aspects of globalization: economic, political, or cultural. Narrow your focus to one of the subsets of the three areas: flow of money and goods, cross border production and consumption, global economic inequalities, economic migration, etc. (for economic), armed conflict, migration, international governance, multilateralism, common global threats, etc. (for political), and flow of ideas, homogenization of culture, communication technologies, leisure travel, etc. (for cultural). And finally, select a specific ‘case’ for a more in-depth reflection – be as specific as you can, and zero in on something that really interests you. For example, you could examine global financing of terrorism, the emergence of anti-globalist food sovereignty movements across the globe, or the cross-cultural propagation of beauty ideals – really, anything that serves your purpose of highlighting global interdependencies. The goal of this project is to bring the theoretical and conceptual strands of a sociological investigation of globalization together in examining a particular instance in which global interdependencies are apparent, meaningful, and can be understood in terms of larger historical and social processes. As you write, keep your singular goal in mind – to showcase your new mastery of the material we covered in this class and to offer your thoughts on a particular case where these global links and connections are evident to you. Your final write-up should be 4 to 6 pages long and include a bibliography of at least 3 scholarly sources (from our reading list or beyond). I will expect this reflection paper to be well written, spellchecked and checked for grammar. Make sure you include a bibliography for the sources you reviewed and cite. Please be very particular about attributing your sources – if you are using somebody else’s words in your essay, you have to give credit. All rules for plagiarism apply. The project is due on December 15 and is worth 114 points out of your final grade.
