Each discussion is meant to be a collaborative space for conversation in which to process the concepts within the course. To ensure an interesting and respectful discussion, you are encouraged to think creatively about your initial posts and build upon the points made by your peers. Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful towards your peers and instructor in your discussion post and replies. For your initial post, address the following: 1. How has your understanding of globalization been enhanced as a result of analyzing it through the four lenses? 2. What are the implications of globalization on the future? You may consider any future you like, such as the future of your community or the future of humankind. 3. How do you believe the critical analysis skills learned in this course will support you going forward personally, academically, and/or professionally
