Today, we discussed how to identify Social Globalization, Economic Globalization and Political Globalization in a newspaper article (and how to differentiate between them). The students then had to do the following activity which was due at the end of class (if you were not here, it is due on Monday).
1. Locate five newspaper articles or stories
2. On a separate piece of paper, write down the Headline and the author's name
3. After each headline, summarize the story (what you learned from it)
4. After this, write down whether the story information could be defined as Global, Social, or Political Globalization (or more than one and which ones or all).
5. Provide your reasons to prove the above

Today, we examined individual and collective identities. You had to do the following activities in relation to this:
1. Draw a concept map and diagram.
· How many aspects of identity can you think of that make up your individual identity? Create a concept web to explore various ways you express who you are. Use any or all of the expressions of identity listed on Figure 2-1 on page 22, or think of others.
2 Now, draw a diagram showing how your collective and individual identities relate and interconnect. Figure 2-3 on page 25 shows an example of what one person’s diagram might look like.
You then had to read all of page 26 and the top of page 27. Then answer the following questions:
1. What does “diverse” mean?
2. What differences are there between the way grandparents identified themselves as Canadian as when they were younger and the way we do today?
3. What changes have there been in technology since your grandparents were young?
4. What is meant by the term “linguistic identities”?
5. What’s good about globalization when comparing your grandparents’ time to today’s?
6. What’s bad about globalization when comparing your grandparents’ time to today’s?

Additional terms added were homogenization and assimilation.
