Module 6: Taking Global Action
Introduction
To what extent should I, as a citizen, respond to globalization?
In this final module for Social Studies 10-1, you will look at how citizens respond to an increasingly connected and interdependent world. Global events and how others live their lives are no longer remote and too distant for us to be aware of or affected by in some way. Some people consider themselves to be global citizens, not just citizens of a country. The influence and impacts of globalization create opportunities and challenges that demand effective and innovative responses from global citizens for the prosperity of all citizens. How do you act as a global citizen? What does it mean to be informed, engaged, responsible,and active citizens?
