A n understanding of issues such as the loss of cultural diversity amongst the worlds peoples, global environmental problems, protecting human rights, and global health issues can be deepened through an understanding of globalization. Issues such as these can be examined through a study of the following themes: the history of globalization, globalization in modern times, international languages, cultural homogenization, globalism and tourism, globalism and health, the global environment and international human rights law. Students need to acquire an understanding of globalization in order to make informed decisions about civil matters and lifestyle choices that affect themselves, their families, and people around the world, and to understand different perspectives in debates about issues surrounding globalization.

Reading passages and activities (in the form of reproducible worksheets) make up the majority of our resource.

Embedded in each passage are one or more questions that ensure students understand what they have read.
