Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of global education. It describes the advantages of global education, such as improving issues of unemployment and homelessness. It then discusses some of the concerns expressed over global education, such as that it does not effectively impart issues of culture and individuality. The paper analyzes both sides of the debate and suggests some solutions to the issues.
From the Paper
"Creating a sense of importance with regard to global social responsibility and aspects of dire global need is essential to a new and improved education system, especially in dominant economic regions. Though the importance of cultural identity, and even the dreaded sources of nationalism, such as independent cultural identity and linguistic heritage must not be ignored in an attempt to universalize education. With some of the worlds most influential organizations in a serious bid to establish universal education the goals of the economists may be essentially answered, but educators must take care to make sure that universalization does not include an element of whitewashing that reduces the importance of individual cultural/linguistic heritage."

Abstract
The paper discusses how information technology, globalization, multinational economies and the educational needs of developed nations present universities with a number of challenges and opportunities. The paper looks at the US system of higher education and reveals that it is among the most innovative and responsive in the world. The paper shows how it is ideally suited to form international partnerships with other educational systems. The paper illustrates how the US system can impact the need for access to education in a global context. The paper also points out that this will likely not happen, however, because of the the lack enthusiasm of the US university faculty for international collaboration.

From the Paper
"The world is dynamic and changing. The impact of information technology, from the fourteenth century printing press to twentieth century instant messaging, has changed, and is changing, patterns of communication, relationships and life. The ultimate effects that the scope and speed of societal change in the twenty-first century will have on higher education in the coming decades is yet unknown. Hans van Ginkel (2002), president of the International Association of Universities (IAU), believes globalization is not a new process. Van Ginkel says that the stimuli of distant cultures have always played an influential role in society. However, it is the scale and rapidity with which these influences impact the culture that set the contemporary stage, with the phenomena of information technology setting the direction for the prevailing wind of globalization."

Global Education: Each Person Makes a Difference, 2006.

Abstract
In this paper the author looks at the growing need to educate about the environment in order to make a difference. He highlights that the purpose of establishing a global education is to prepare students by expanding their educational opportunities. He suggests this can be done by helping students to learn about the world beyond their own personal borders in order to save the planet from destruction. The author mentions the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which has a division in Washington D.C. called the Environmental Education Division who is willing to give grants to further environmental education. He also mentions the roles that communities can take in furthering education about the environment and concludes that everyone must make an effort - from teacher to parent - to ensure society protects and is aware of the environment.
From the Paper
"I am a proponent of crossing the curriculum and incorporating as much of the world into each unit as possible. As teachers we are being challenged to prepare students for responsible global citizenship and therefore instructional strategies need to be used by teachers that reflect the increasing diversity of today's global society (Becker, 1990). I feel that incorporating global education into the classroom allows the student to see that aspects of Language Arts reaches farther than just the pages of a book. I want students to know that the information within stories are part of a much larger picture in the world. However, in order to establish global education in the classroom each teacher must understand that the education must be appropriate and applicable to the person doing the learning. Too often the subject of environmental education focuses on a topic that is far removed from the reality of the student."

Abstract
This paper discusses reform related to education in the global community. The paper focuses on the attempts of eleven countries, spanning five continents that have attempted educational reform in the past several decades. This paper then further pinpoints the issues that surround the educational reform, the problems that it attempts to address, and the results of the reform in comparison with the other countries investigated. The paper is significant in educational research because it develops a pattern of global reform that should be addressed within countries that are developing educational reform systems.
From the Paper
"Although the twenty-first century possesses great aspirations for students that dream of changing the world, educational systems across the continents often do not have the ability to assist with such intentions, and are struggling within society to implement educational reform. Often the complication lies in the ability of the social structure to be made aware of the difficulties that exist in education, or it is society's disenchantment with systems that were long contended as unchangeable that led to a dormancy in action to reform the methods that are devised to provide public education. However, the research indicates that battles are being waged across the globe to instill educational systems that will meet the needs of the children of today within the global community, and prepare a framework for the progress of education in the future."

This paper presents arguments for and against the conclusion that world globalization is inevitable.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that globalization has resulted in an information age, which boasts global interconnectedness; yet, globalization has come to symbolize a threat for underdeveloped nations. The author points out that those people who believe that globalization is inevitable state that globalization, driven by the nation states, has made the world more interdependent, spreading ideas about democracy by impacting education through large-scale statewide technology implementations. The paper relates that the argument against globalization being inevitable centers on the fact that globalization has actually made many underdeveloped nations worse off by destroying jobs and making lives more insecure; this powerless, without reform, has created a backlash against nations spreading globalization.

Introduction
The Inevitability of Globalization
Globalization is not Inevitable
From the Paper
"Proponents of globalization also place a great deal of importance on the Internet, which plays a major role in globalization. The Internet has come to serve as a bridge between cultures and countries. McChesney (1998) states that the Internet is open to all at relatively low prices. As a result, even some of the poorest countries have some spread access to the Internet. This can also be seen as a benefit to more advanced nations, because the hegemony of media giants and advertisers will soon end, and be replaced by a wide-open, decentralized, diverse, fast-changing, and competitive media culture lacking the requirement of government regulation. Research indicates that the Internet and digital communication are creating a dramatic change in the media and communication systems."

Abstract
This paper compares the trend of capitalism in the late 19th - early 20th century with the trend of globalization today. It explains that globalization of the world economy has the potential to bring both great benefit and great hardship to third world populations, but like capitalism, globalization without proper checks and balances could become a runaway force, knowing no moral or ethical boundaries. The potential harms and benefits are listed, showing that in moderation, all these factors need not be a threat to the third world.
From the Paper
"But globalization is not a term that is merely descriptive. Worldwide, as many people are taking an active stance against the globalization process as there are working toward it. Coalescing from a variety of sources, pro- and anti-globalization forces are beginning to take on the same impassioned polarization that dominated the debate between capitalism and communism in the early 20th century. Interestingly, each side in this debate relies heavily on examples from the Third World to make its case. The proponents of globalization cite a myriad of benefits to be gained by underdeveloped countries though greater access to the goods and services that transnational companies can provide. Anti-globalization activists, on the other hand, point to many examples in the developing world where globalization has robbed indigenous populations of traditionally held land or water rights, disrupted cultural and social values, and disturbed lifestyles.

Abstract
We live in a world of ever-increasing internationalization. This ubiquitous process of "globalization" has become so pervasive that the well-established concept of "nations" and "states" is now being questioned. Though it is undeniable that states still hold clear authority, evinced recently by the ongoing US/Iraq crisis and India/Pakistan nuclear tests, there is equal evidence to support the fact that states are losing ground to the process of globalization. In the world of the 1990s and beyond, though the state still operates in an environment of distinct anarchy, globalization is imposing a set of indirect controls that will keep it in line more than ever before. This paper will follow the trail to the death of the nation-state.

Abstract
Many Americans and others around the world grew up knowing and loving Walt Disney and the world that he created. From 1955, when Disney opened his first theme park in Anaheim, California, there was the thought that Disney would reach around the world, as many visitors from around the world came to visit the park in Anaheim and the duplicate park in Orlando. Disney proved it could move around the world and, therefore, opened its first international park in 1983 in Tokyo, Japan and then in Paris, France in 1992. There are many issues that Disney experienced with both of the international parks, but most notably, the one in France. This paper discusses Disney?s experience in France, the global impact of Disney?s business, as well as the evolving nature of the global economy and its effect on Disney?s operations.
From the Paper
"First, Disney is constantly looking for ways to build their business on a global level as over the past 20 years the business of Disney has grown from Anaheim to Tokyo to France and beyond. Only three years after the expansion of Disney?s park system to Tokyo, Japan, Disney looks to take on Europe. Disney felt that Europeans should be the next to fall more in love with Disney. ?When word got out that Disney wanted to build another international theme park, officials from more than 200 locations all over the world descended on Disney with pleas and cash inducements to work the Disney magic in their hometowns? (Huey, 1995). Because of the economic impact felt in Tokyo with the addition of the theme park there these officials wanted to realize the impact of a large global corporation in their respective communities and countries, however Disney was already looking toward France. Although there was a slow start due to cultural differences the park begins to show a profit and increase the global presence of Disney."

Abstract
The writer of this paper explains in-depth why in this era of globalization the American education system is unprepared to deal effectively with the new reality of an interdependent global economy. This paper contains extensive research that proves American education is trailing far behind other industrialized nations, such as Japan and Germany, and as a result needs to be restructured to cater to a globalized economy. The writer details why an improved and effective educational curriculum will better equip young Americans to compete globally.
Topics in this report include:
Curriculum Development
Faculty Development
Need for Geography
Foreign Languages
International Understanding
Interinstitutional Linkages
From the Paper
"Within today's society the idea of accomplishing the highest level of education is essential to succeed. Due to the gradual deterioration of the American education system the hope for a successful future for many appear bleak. This problem arises within the responsibilities of high level administrators, federal and state government who are financially supporting schools and their programs. The concept behind education programs within schools should not only set forth the ability to master reading skills, writing skills and mathematical problem solving, but also prepare each student from the primary and secondary levels with techniques in comprehending the high professional demands in the real world."

Abstract
Educating the Global Village's most striking feature is that it seeks, in a systematic way, to anticipate and plan for the consequences to the social structure of the significant demographic shifts that have occurred in the US over the last 25 years.
From the Paper
"Educating the Global Village's most striking feature is that it seeks, in a systematic way, to anticipate and plan for the consequences to the social structure of the significant demographic shifts that have occurred in the US over the last 25 years. The structure of American population has shifted toward what has been termed a society reflecting diversity -- of race, culture, language, and so on -- and this book appears to have been conceived as an analysis of, and suggestions for, meeting the emerging society's educational and career needs. There is a dual focus of narrative: on the emerging diversity generation in this country and on the fact that this generation will be living in a global society also marked by geopolitical, nation-state, cultural, and other categories of diversity, as well as a diverse set of priorities and capabilities. The authors argue that the main..."

Abstract
The paper relates that children are hurt in today's global world and often little is being done to prevent the problems created by a global world. The paper looks at extreme problems of poverty, war, or trafficking as well as the common problem of social deprivation faced by children of parents who work full-time in America. The paper discusses how children in the United States must be protected from abuse in their homes. The paper states that children are the future and if they are not protected there will be no future.
From the Paper
"Should Americans be more concerned about children? How is globalization affecting children in America? How does it affect children in other countries? Should Americans be concerned about social reproduction in the lives of children? These are important questions. These topics have been discussed in class, yet does any one truly understand the problems children are having not only in other countries, but also here in America? Looking at the agenda of child concern will show that globalization is affecting social reproduction in America. Social deprivation is a problem beginning in day care and continuing until they are adults. Children who work in other countries where poverty is an issue are actually given better care than children of parents who work full-time in America. Considering what has been taught in class and research will show that as students more concern must be given to children to prevent problems in their futures."

This paper discusses that globalization has enabled the global expansion of terrorism.

Abstract
This paper explains that the unprecedented impact of 9/11 on the consciousness of America and the international community is a new kind of globalized fear surrounding security, which is the product of shared cultural, political and technological factors characterizing the globalized world against another distinct culture, which aims to destroy rather than build or maintain life. The author points out the interrelationship of countries by relating that Arafat's Palestinian Authority documents unmistakably showed that the PA received money from Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq, which then was given to terrorist commanders for acts of terrorism against Israelis. The paper relates that the FBI categorizes international terrorism in the U.S. into three categories: (1) Activities of foreign sponsors, such as Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Cuba and North Korea, which used terrorism as an operational tool of foreign policy in the past; (2) formalized terrorist groups, such as the Lebanese Hezbollah, Al-Gama'a Al-Islamiyya of Egypt and the HAMAS of Palestine and (3) loosely affiliated international radical extremists who do not represent a particular country, such as those behind the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 in New York City.
From the Paper
"Developments in the international scene have enabled mass-casualty terrorism. Perceived and gross inequalities in economic resources and standards of living among nations in the world have motivated international terrorism and determined the level of ferocity and viciousness of attacks. Poverty was often blamed as the main cause of domestic terrorism, although there appears no "comprehensive correlation between" poverty and terrorism. But it is different in the international scenario. Free-market globalization gave the Islamic world access to Western values and institutions and this offers explanation for the growth of international terrorism, which is the weaker party's occasion to hit back."

Abstract
This paper discusses the many effects of global warming, such as agriculture, flooding, health and refugees, which will be the most severe on Third World countries. This paper explains that global warming has a negative effect on the world?s hydrological cycle, which could seriously threaten global water supplies thus severely affecting the massive areas of Asia and Africa that already have drought. The author believes that the very technologies, which the Third World needs to develop to survive and to be like the First World, are the ones that will do them the most harm.
From the Paper
"Bangladesh has the highest population density on Earth, with 114 million people in 1993. By contrast, the Netherlands, the most crowded nation in the First World, has a population density only half that of Bangladesh. Approximately 85 percent of Bangladeshis live in rural areas, and more than half of Bangladesh lies less than 5 m above sea level, making it susceptible to extreme events such as cyclones, storm surges, and coastal flooding. Global warming is expected to intensify the cyclone system in this region with catastrophic results. Inland flooding also occurs in Bangladesh because the country lies on the flood plains at the congruence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers. Half the gross domestic product of Bangladesh is attributable to agriculture, making the nation economy prone to flood damage."
