MODULE 2:

Understanding

Globalization
What is Globalization?
 Globalization is the process by which the people,
cultures, and economies of the world have become
more interconnected.
 This unification is driven by the liberalization of
trade, investment and capital flow, technological
advances and pressures for assimilation towards
international standards
 Globalization makes the world accessible to
everyone.
TYPES OF GLOBALIZATION

trade with minimal barriers are considered
economically globalized.
[Link]: This reflects how easily information and
ideas flow within and between countries, including
access to the internet and social media platforms.
[Link]: The degree of political cooperation
among countries.
Advantages of Globalization

Multicultural
Literacy and
Education
Multiculturalism
refers to the
existence, acceptance,
and promotion of
multiple distinct cultural
groups (defined by
ethnicity, religion,
language, or race)
within a single society.
Multicultural Literacy
consists of the skills and
ability to identify the creators
of knowledge and their
interests (Banks, 1996), to
uncover the assumptions of
knowledge, to view knowledge
from diverse ethnic and
cultural perspective, and to use
knowledge to guided action
that will create a humane and
just world (Boutte, 2008).

 Emotional Intelligence
• There are various theorists who have developed
different models of emotional intelligence.
• They are very similar but have a few variations in
how they are structured. For the purposes of these
lessons, we have chosen to use
• Daniel Goleman’s model with four domains: self
awareness, self-management, social awareness
and relationship management. This was
originally developed in 1998 with five domains and
redesigned in 2002 with four domains.
