There was such a variety of topics covered in this course and I wish that I had taken it in a classroom instead of online. With this online course, I feel like the material went a little too quickly. If I were in a classroom setting, I feel that

Globalization has both benefits and disadvantages. Whether one outweighs the other depends on the person answering the question. However, within this essay is why the advantages can outweigh the disadvantages if society begins to play their cards right and not abuse the chances we have to achieve sustainable prosperity for all. But if the world continues the way it is going now, destroying the earth and each other, the disadvantages can quickly take over and ruin everybody. We cannot live with only benefits like the world has provided for itself. Add in the fact that the way the world tries to get sustainable prosperity hasn't been successful, we need to settle for the current life filled with both benefits and disadvantages.

This course has become a journey for me. It has been one of my first classes at a university level. I have learned many valuable skills and lessons. I know they will be of great use to me in my further years at college, and in life. First, I learned that if I follow instructions and meet the criteria that is expected of me I can do very well. Secondly, I had the opportunity to learn how to develop a resume for college and work use. Having a resume that is up to standards and knowing what I need to modify, in the years to come, is extremely helpful when I am trying to obtain an occupation. Additionally, I also obtained the knowledge and skills on how to conduct research. Learning how to use the OSU library website to be able to find academic databases has been extremely helpful. I have learned how to access the databases and be able to search and obtain what I need. Even though, my other classes have not required me to conduct research, I may have to conduct research in the years to come. Knowing how to navigate the website and conduct my research will make it easier.

I feel that this course has given me experience which i will benefit from in the future at university. I've been able to cover specific units of interest that have greatly expanded my knowledge. I particularly enjoyed unit 6 which was based on independent learning with 100 hours of work experience. A dairy was written based on my performance, skills and involvement at my different placements. This experience has made me more confident as a person and increased my determination to succeed in this career path.

3. What evidence do you find in the case of the benefits and of the costs of globalization, and

This course reminded me of some of my struggles and strengths. It encouraged me to see certain circumstances from a different perspective. Speaking about struggles, poverty and terrorism were a strong point for me. We all have struggle at some point and had to seek help or think outside the box to survive. We live in a society that identifies us by our occupation, and working hard and being productive we hold in high regards. We tend to derive on our work and professional affiliation. However, we still have individuals and families that struggle because the help that is offered is not sufficient. Based on our readings progress has been made on the war on poverty but adjustments need to be made to meet current standards and todays markets. We

The understanding of the changes that need to happen is deeply recognized by the teachers that spend every in the class room with the students. Jill Carey, the authors’ mother, has been a teacher in K-12 for the past twenty years. Carey has watched the school system go into a deep decline and attributes it the red tape, or the systems put in place, but the school boards and people that don’t have direct contact with students. Carey believes that not only smaller class rooms would benefit schools, but also letting class rooms be solely run by the teachers themselves. As a teacher she sees that students are being sent to higher grades without understanding basic concepts, which a detriment to the student and also the teacher that now must get them to proficient standards while also trying to teach them harder material. Her solution would be to let teachers chose the material that the students need to learn. Carey says “So much emphasis is put on the teacher to preform, and not what the students are actually learning. In

This class has shaped the way I view education in a positive and drastic way. I had previously taken this course online as well and my end result was a low grade but that was because I did not put in the effort and I failed to read the on course text. I chose to repeat this class to raise my GPA and to get a higher education by learning how to be a better student and person. I did not think much of this class because I found it kind of boring to read about managing my life and I thought I already knew how to do that in all honesty. I was proven wrong and I decided to put in the effort and was amazed by my results from the start of this class, to how drasticly they changed towards the end of this class, I feel like a new discovered person

2. Discuss how this course has affected you in your professional development as a student and as a person as well as encouraging you on your academic path.

Throughout this course I have had not only the opportunity to learn new ideas and new ways to better myself as a person, but also reflect on a lot of stuff I have already learned through my experiences in life. I have been able to learn a lot about myself by being open to looking at my flaws and committing to put in effort to change. I feel like this course helped me think about a lot of things I hadn't really given thought to before, so it helped me identify problems in areas I had never even looked for problems in.

Another important part of this course I found very helpful was learning to unpack standards. Many of the learning standards implemented in my classroom are full of material that I find difficult to manage. By unpacking these standards, I am now able to focus more specifically on certain objectives and

Economic globalization provides ever-increasing number of chances for educational reform on a global scale. A global educational programme could achieve investment from foreign investors or corporations from overseas. Abundant teaching and studying resources can be easily shared through networks. Educational evaluation systems varying in different countries have been put on a standardized track. Being operated under the global context, the internationalization of education also fully exerts its potential on solving some problems emerging during the process of globalization. The achievement of global educational innovation and revolution ultimately serve for globalization.

The word globalization is the new buzzword that has come to dominant the world since the nineties of the last century with the end of the cold war and break-up of the former Soviet Union and the global trends towards the rolling ball. But the phenomenon of globalization is not new. Some of the globalization forms are climatic change, migration, development of communication, health, economy, education, etc. Globalization is a complex, multifaceted process that affects all aspects of life-economy, political, cultural and social. In the one hand, it is a long term process that has been propelled by technology, economics, politics and knowledge to create a “GLOBAL COSMOPOLITAN SOCIETY “which is shaking up of our existing ways of life. Thus the process of globalization has affected every facets of human life including education. In the twentieth century, India has experienced growth in the educational facilities available to entry new educations from the west. Some scholar believed that it is invaluable opportunity for the people of the country and others fear that it is merely a modern version of cultural imperialism, may

Globalization is a foreseeable phenomenon in human history which has been bringing the world together through the exchange of goods and products, information, knowledge and culture (World Bank, 2013). Governments may decide to avoid it or accept it, but in either ways they cannot overlook the extensive impact it has on different sectors, mainly economy, and education is not an exception.
