Effects of Globalization on Culture

Globalization often means modernization and even westernization or Americanization. Discuss the impact of globalization on cultures around the world and include in your discussion the concepts of glocalization and cultural hybridity. Give specific examples.

Write an applied research and position paper on the above topic. While your analysis should consider all relevant sources and concepts we cover in this course*, it should also bring additional information and scholarship to your issue. This is not simply a personal essay or opinion piece—you must support your analysis and position with solid research and scholarship. Be certain that you fully answer the assigned question with specific applications and illustrations.

Papers will be graded in terms of comprehensiveness, relevancy to course themes, application and development of concepts, support for your position, depth and breadth of analysis and interpretation, creativity, and command of relevant concepts and literature. An abundance of writing errors will definitely lower your score. Please carefully proofread and edit your final draft before you submit it for grading. Your paper should be approximately 10-12 double-spaced pages using 12-point font with complete footnotes or endnotes and bibliography. Direct quotes, paraphrases, and specific concepts or facts require citations using the Chicago style (see syllabus), not MLA or APA.
