Thinking Globally

Globalization in the 21st century continues to fuel many new political, economic, social, and technological developments. Thinking Globally examines international issues, cultural values, and the relationship between local and global concerns across time to help students successfully engage in diverse cultural situations. Students develop global awareness and competence, broaden cross-cultural understanding, and expand knowledge and skills needed to live and work in an increasingly interdependent world.
