IDS 401 Final Project Part One Guidelines and RubricOverviewThis course explores globalization and its impact on shaping the world around us. Globalization influences society, and society influences each of us, creating afeedback loop between them. We will critically analyze this feedback loop in this course through social, historical, and theoretical approaches to globalization aswell as the four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. Each of these four perspectives allows us tobetter understand the construction of globalization and its interrelation with society. From this enhanced understanding, you will be equipped to drawconnections between global society and your personal and professional lives, helping you to become a better-informed citizen who can make a positivedifference in the world.Issues and events in globalization have a pervading influence on many aspects of society, and how they are dealt with requires diverse knowledge andperspectives to investigate and change. The purpose of this project is to examine a specific issue or event in globalization and how it impacts individuals andsociety through the development of a critical analysis portfolio and a presentation in which you will demonstrate your ability to think critically, investigate, andcommunicate clearly. These skills are often necessary to achieve personal and professional goals across many disciplines.In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: Analyze the role of the individual in one’s discipline of study or chosen profession in an expanding global network [IDS-401-01] Integrate interdisciplinary approaches for determining the effect that global connectedness has on the state of national identity [IDS-401-02] Recommend strategies for increasing global awareness and fostering culturally inclusive discourse to meet personal and professional goals [IDS-401-04] Assess the benefits and challenges of global connectedness through the incorporation of diverse perspectives and viewpoints informed by relevantliterature and peer experiences [IDS-401-06]PromptFor the first part of this project, you will select a specific issue or event in globalization and critically analyze it through the four general education lenses: history,humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. Through viewing the issue or event through these lenses, you will gain insight into howglobalization affects society as well as both your own individual framework of perception and the choices, attitudes, and behaviors of others in the world aroundyou.
