Assignment: Globalization - What Does It Mean to You?
Globalization is changing the world forever, along with technology, intercultural communication, and international trade. While some of these changes are already upon us, some are yet to be seen. Changes are sure to come but are as yet unknown-predicted but unpredictable. It would be natural to wonder which globalization trends are challenges and which are opportunities for your career, as well as how will it affect your role as a leader in higher education. This is further complicated by the fact that varied facets of higher education will be impacted in unique ways and would be viewed differently by different campus leaders, as imagined in the Discussion scenario.
In order to learn from the experiences of countries responding to globalization, you will research, assess, and predict changes due to globalization in one country of your choice over the next 6 weeks. Whatever country you choose will become a focus for Assignments in Weeks 1-6, which you will then share with classmates in Week 8 to examine trends in globalization worldwide. You will research different aspects of your country each week, focusing on issues related to the weekly topic.
Describe how the recent history of your chosen country might impact the demand and supply of higher education in that country.
What aspects of globalization are evident in this country, such as Internet usage, teaching of English, or global trade?
Why would citizens seek higher education in this country?
What are the economic, social, and political limitations in supplying higher education to the populace in this country? How are these limitations expected to change in the near future?
