Make connections between the readings and current events. You don"t have to directly answer the questions, but rather use the questions as guidance and context when making your notes. Stay on top of the news in order to be able to make connections with the readings and global issues. A variety of different global processes exist. We may be bound together through a variety of processes but people experience global issues very differently. Globalization doesn"t mean much because it"s so big so we need to untangle and really examine it at varying levels/scales in order to fully comprehend it. Because when we critically interrogate our own everyday lives, they are revealed to be global.
