Unit One Critical Challenge: Who Am I?

How has globalization shaped your identity?


You have considered the effects of many global factors on your identity. The movement of people from one country to another, the contact with others who may have different beliefs and traditions, the buying and selling of resources and products, and the influence of large transnational corporations have some effect on who you are.

You have considered how people express their identities. Keep in mind what you have learned about how people express their individuality through their traditions, language, culture, the arts, role models, dress, religion, politics, and relationship to the land.

Now, think about your own identity and the effect globalization has on you.

In this assignment, use your imagination to show who you are and how worldwide forces have affected you.

This assignment includes a planning page and a creative presentation.
