1. How would you assess if globalization has been a positive development overall?
2. Find an academic journal article that offers a critique of some aspects of globalization, and post the link with your discussion. Do you find the author's argument compelling to either side? Why or why not?
3. Personal reflection: How has globalization helped you and how do you think it will help you in the future?
