Read, listen, discuss, observe –Evaluate quality of information: primary and secondary sources; fact, theory, findings, description, opinion, hearsay. –Analyze consistency and conflict of information: determine major points. –Synthesize response. 2. Analyze the size, scope, and components of the global textile and apparel business. 3. Understand the concept of the global economy and basic trade regulations in effect. 4.

12 P. Roberto GarciaFeb. 2, 2007School of Education Breeze Workshop CONTEXTUAL INTERVIEWS assignment: interview someone who has lived in your country of study. Clarify and further describe the economic, political, and cultural information you have acquired. Where students find interviewees: international Area Study Centers cultural student organizations, colleagues friends and relatives social media Interviews are then used to discuss in class the differences between aggregate descriptors of a country and the concerns of those who have lived in the country. Often students base their final research topic on issues uncovered in these interviews.

WORLDVIEW REFLECTIONS RELEVANT COURSE OUTCOMES

15 P. Roberto GarciaFeb. 2, 2007School of Education Breeze Workshop OBJECTIVE: demonstration of an understanding of topics based on an assigned role in a developed country, then in a less industrialized country example prompt: You are a citizen concerned about your country's standard of living and your well-being. What are your views on: being protective of the industry vs. adopting an export orientation? encouraging multinationals vs. domestically owned industries? do these views change if you are a consumer, manufacturer, or retailer? WORLDVIEW REFLECTIONS EXAMPLE PROMPT

16 P. Roberto GarciaFeb. 2, 2007School of Education Breeze Workshop examples of internationalized reflections : …we have the ability to produce low cost goods. It is important that trade barriers aren’t made for the purpose of restricting our capacity to export to other countries. …when it comes to the Congo, what (does) free trade actually mean? What is really free about it?... …I have just enough money to put food on the table…I am dependent on this job…and (the country) has not established any independent part of the supply chain….I am afraid our economy will suffer when others gain. WORLDVIEW REFLECTIONS STUDENT EXAMPLES

18 P. Roberto GarciaFeb. 2, 2007School of Education Breeze Workshop THESIS DEVELOPMENT Students present interviews Re-evaluate resources Propose thesis for critique/thesis outline

19 P. Roberto GarciaFeb. 2, 2007School of Education Breeze Workshop THESIS DEVELOPMENT Student examples Honduras is competitively positioned for industrial growth, the rippling effects of the political crisis of 2009 continue to further limit the nation’s opportunities for economic and social development. An abundance of the natural resource, oil, has drastically impaired the country of Nigeria. The country struggles to deal with the wealth, the corruption, and mismanagement of that valuable resource, and the effects are felt economically, socially, environmentally, and politically. Guatemala’s participation in a global economy, which promised to be an engine of development and a lift out of poverty, has left many questioning the likely effects it has on improving the lives of individuals in Guatemala. A new transnational perspective has locked the country in an exploitive relationship with its trading partners, characterized by deplorable working conditions and persistent social inequality.
