The theme for Unit 2 of our course is Global Citizenship. I would like you to watch this short YouTube video (click to link over to the video) and then post a response explaining what the term “Global Citizen” or “Global Citizenship” means to you. In your response, make a connection with at least one of the Globalization essays we’ve read so far — do you see a similar or differing point of view presented in that essay? A similar theme or issue that you discuss in your own definition of the term? Write your response in the “Leave a Reply” box at the end of this post. When responding, make sure to identify yourself with your full name so that readers know whose words they’re reading and so that I can grant you credit for engaging in the conversation! Refer to the “Blog Response Evaluation Criteria” handout distributed in class (also available on BB > Handouts > Unit 2) for guidelines and expectations in your response.
