Write a one-page paper about how the impact of new technology (computers, cell phones, etc.) is changing culture in the U.S. Does this technology help link us to our cultural heritage, or separate us from our past? Why? Use your textbook and the additional materials as resources.
1) The Global Economy
For this week’s assignment, give me your thoughts and opinions on the global economy.
Use this link as a resource: Multinational Corporations Pros and Cons
Do these things:
1) Explain what is meant by the term “global economy”.
2) Skim through the article posted above (Pros & Cons of Multinational Corporations) or watch one of the embedded videos, and share your comments about what you saw or read.
For your final writing assignment, discuss what you learned about social change. Using your own experiences and/or the websites in the additional materials, pick an event (such as Hurricane Katrina, 9/11, Sandy Hook, the presidential election) and talk about how life in America has changed since the event and what, if any, the long term social consequences might be.
