Purpose of assignment: <\/div>\n
The purpose of this assignment is to propose solutions to mitigate the injustices, inequalities, and
\nnegative consequences produced by globalization.
\nAs this course has made clear, global migration has led to government policies that make it difficult
\nfor people to move across national borders and subject undocumented immigrants to the constant
\nthreat of deportation. Immigrants can be exploited as workers and subject to anti-immigrant
\nbacklashes in the host society. The global economy can lead to the exploitation of low-paid workers in
\ndeveloping countries, environmental degradation and pollution in these countries, and global
\nwarming. Both the global economy and mass media are dominated by rich, developed, Western
\ncountries, which exacerbates global inequalities between countries and leads to cultural and
\neconomic imperialism. Global migration can lead to the spread of infectious diseases. The global
\nproliferation of Western fast food cultures and the sedentary, high-stress, and overworked lifestyles
\nof global capitalism have produced various negative health consequences. The international
\neconomic inequalities between developed and developing countries and environmental hazards have
\nled to adverse health consequences for people living in poorer countries.
\nInstructions:
\nPropose three possible solutions or ways to reduce the various problems caused by globalization and
\nbring social justice to people suffering from its inequities and detrimental consequences, especially
\nin poorer, developing countries. You can propose more than three solutions if you wish, but it is
\ngenerally better to write in-depth about a few. There is, of course, no one remedy that can deal with
\nall global problems at once, so you are being asked to come up with specific programs and
\nrecommendations that can mitigate certain types of injustices or negative consequences created by
\nspecific forms of globalization.
\nYou should not write vague and general proposals off the top of your head based on what you
\nremember from this course. Since this is your final assignment, you need to carefully review and
\nrestudy relevant lectures, readings, and videos from the various course modules while thinking about
\nsolutions to mitigate the globalization problems discussed in these modules.
\nYour proposals can be of various types. They can consist of new government regulations, programs,
\nand\/or treaties based on either the national or international level; projects and programs run by local
\nor international organizations or NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations); social movements,
\npolitical mobilization, and protests; legal action and lawsuits at the local or international level;
\ninternational programs and collaborations run by international governance organizations like the
\nUnited Nations or the World Health Organization; or simply efforts to raise awareness and
\nconsciousness (for instance, among consumers, employers, or citizens in various countries) of the
\ninjustices associated with globalization in an effort to change their behavior. You are very welcome
\nto do internet research on existing programs in order to get ideas, but you should not simply talk
\nabout pre-existing programs. They have to be ones that you have come up with, although they can
\nresemble ones that already exist.
\nIssues and questions to consider when writing the paper:
\nYou should first start your assignment with a general paragraph or two about your overarching
\nphilosophy about global problems and what you feel is the best approach(es) to deal with them. Do
\nwe tackle the hardest and most widespread problems across the world or do we go after simpler and
\nmore tractable (and localized) problems? Should we adopt one type of approach or do we need a
\nmix of different approaches? Do we act locally (in one or many places) or do solutions need
\ninternational collaboration, organizations, or global governance structures? Do we rely on
\ngovernments or non-governmental entities or both? Do solutions have to come from rich, developed
\ncountries, developing countries, or both? Should programs be short-term or long-term? You don\u2019t
\nhave to address all of these questions, which are intended to be food for thought and should be useful
\nwhen thinking about your actual proposed solutions as well.
\nFor each or your proposed programs\/solutions, you should describe in some detail the program and
\nhow it addresses one of the global problems or inequities discussed in the course. Then provide
\nsome specifics about how the proposed solution should be implemented either at the local or
\ninternational level. Considering what you have learned in this course, you should assess its strengths
\nand weaknesses. This should include an analysis of how effective and feasible you believe it will be,
\nand the problems, limitations, and obstacles it is likely to encounter. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Paper length and citations: <\/div>\n
Your discussion of each program\/solution should be about 1.5 pages, double-spaced. The entire
\npaper should be about 5-6 pages. Somewhat longer papers are acceptable as long as they are not
\nrepetitive or longwinded.
\nYou must cite materials you use from course readings by indicating the author and page number in
\nparentheses, for example (Ritzer, p.296). No bibliography or a list of works cited is necessary at the
\nend of your essays unless you use readings (books and articles) not assigned for the course (which is
\nnot required or necessary but optional). All direct quotations from the readings and
\nlectures must be cited, as well as when you paraphrase what is said\/written in them. If you use
\ninformation from the internet in your assignment, you can cite it by inserting the URL\/web address
\nin parenthesis in your text. You do not need a list of all the websites you consulted at the end of the
\nassignment<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
