This course is for Global Forces, Local Diversity. In the broadest sense, the subject matter for a course on Global Forces, Local Diversities can include analysis of the tensions between global-scale forces (greater cultural, economic, and political connections) and local-scale diversity (cultural traditions, unique economic and religious practices, and political views) that influence many world’s problems. We will be looking at different elements of the human-altered landscape, and how they came to be. We will be looking at globalization, and the ways it influences our world. We will select those elements that affect both large areas and local-scale areas in our search for geographic order and regularity in patterns of population and settlement, cultural achievements, location of economic activity, and individual spatial behavior.

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeThesis Statement Virtually all effective writing (academic papers, letters to editors, blog posts, etc.) presents, early on, a clear, concise, summary of the argument that will follow. This has to be more than just a summary of what the author will cover, to telling us exactly what they will say. It should, by definition, reflect the original ideas of the author. At the same time, it must be relevant to the assignment or topic of discussion: the context of the writing and its presumed audience. |
