GNED 1301 citizenship without borders

Imagine you are having a conversation around the dinner table with your family and telling them what you have academically achieved in this semester. They tell you a cousin is planning to visit a “third-world” country in July for a business trip. As a student who just finished this course, give your family a detailed account about why this might not be an accurate description of the place your cousin is visiting .. especially with the US President’s controversial statements that reflect a west-centric view of the OTHER.

You are expected to give your family a detailed reflection on the different issues affecting the global south through reviewing material you have come across in the course (choosing 4 texts, 2 lectures, 1-2 videos, and issues from 3 blog that are not yours).

You are expected to brag in front of your family, who might not have had a chance to read the literature you have been exposed to during this semester. So, to explain the story you have developed an understanding of, you should dedicate each paragraph to a well-written review of a text chosen, show your family what this text is about, how you would critically evaluate it, how you benefited from it, and how it tied to the overall picture of a globalized world you originally had no idea about. Use these texts in the stated manner to tell your family a story no one else would teach them about. Have your story rooted in the material you have studied during this semester.

Also dedicate a paragraph or two to how the assignments you had during the course helped you see different dimensions of this complex globalized world.
