Quiz Directions:

1. Research a newspaper article and connect what you learn to globalization. We have covered many topics this semester, so you have a wide array of options to choose from. So far, we have covered the following topics: 

  •  
    • Intro to Globalization
    • History and Globalization
    • Sociology and Globalization
    • Economics and Globalization
    • Politics and Globalization
    • Culture and Globalization

2. You will select a topic of your choosing as it relates to globalization. Examples: technology, food consumption, migration, poverty, COVID, inflation, disease epidemics, culture, wealth inequality, fashion, TV and film, housing, warfare, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. You will find an article from a reputable newspaper. Below is a list of some options:

  • The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/
  • The Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/
  • NPR: https://www.npr.org/
  • The Economist: https://www.economist.com/
  • The Wall Street Journal: https://www.wsj.com/
  • BBC News: https://www.bbc.com/news
  • The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/

3. It might not be enough to go to a website and see a news article immediately. You might have to research. Below is a quick step guide on how to research a topic.

  • Let’s pretend my topic is global poverty.
    • First, I would go to Google. https://www.google.com/
    • Second, I would type in search words. Get creative. Use different kinds of word combinations. Below are some examples:
      • example 1: type in the google search box– “global poverty globalization NPR”
      • example 2: type in the google search box– “poverty Latin America new york times”
      • example 3: type in the google search box– “poverty globalization Washington post”
  • Once you find an article, you will write a 1-2 page paper. Summarize the newspaper article in a well-written paper.
    • Describe the key points/themes/arguments. Provide specific examples from the article to back up those points.
    • Explain how the reading connects to more extensive sociological analyses on globalization, the economy, technology, class, race, gender, inequality, or culture.
      • Connect the newspaper articles to one of the readings. A strong paper uses specific examples over general explanations. It demonstrates that you can link theory to reality and see the connections between your topic and course readings. 
  • Your paper must be well-written, have complete sentences, and be grammatically correct
