Globalization Project
Project Description
What did you do for this project? Describe it, so that people who don’t know about the project would understand it.
For this project we had to do an Opinion Editorial aka an Op-Ed. This is an essay like way to express your opinions that are facts. I choose the topic of Copyright inforcement. When an art piece, whether it be writing or not, and has copyright, after the author dies in 70 years it is released to public domain. However, I think that it should not be 70 years but maybe even not be released at all. The creativity will be much greater if there is less to copy.
Take-aways and Enduring Understandings
After completing this project, what new understandings do you have about globalization? What are your big takeaways about what globalization is, and how it affects our world?Globalization makes us more connected, but it may not be the best thing. We know so much about the other countries that we want to get involved in their problems. We are in this world together so we need to learn about one another and be connected, but that leads to conflict. Globalization we like it or not is happening and sooner or later we have to accept it.
The Writing
Look back through your three drafts. What did you learn from the Op-Ed writing process that you could apply to future writing assignments? How was the writing you did for this assignment different from writing you’ve done in the past? This process of writing was very hard for me. To do this extensive research but giving your opinion at the same time was a challenge. I found it helpful however to research both sides of the argument. It gave me a better grasp of the topic.
