First Part Assignment

PowerPoint Topic Proposal and Research Question

Part 1: Topic and Research Question (due at the end of Module 7)

The focus of your project is as follows:

1. Here is the challenging broad topic you will explore: "Globalization: Our Ever- Shrinking World."

2. Narrow and refine this topic into a research question. Here, you need to focus on particular areas of the world or aspects such as: the impact of technology on communications, cultural erosion, multiculturalism and diversity pressures, refugees, global industries/markets, loss of biodiversity, food instability, overpopulation, and migrant workers. Global means more than just the U.S. Please come up with your own ideas here!

3. Now, within this area, you need to focus on something more specific: social media, Native Americans and other indigenous peoples, legal vs. illegal migration, permanent refugees in the Middle East. Remember, it has to be GLOBAL IN PERSPECTIVE! Again, come up with your own particular focus!

Your submission should include each item listed here:

1. A research question around the topic described above.

2. A 250+ word description of the issue that your research question will address and why it is a major concern for the people of the world.

3. At least 3 references in APA style
