What is interdependency and how is it related to globalization? What do citizens around the world think about globalization? How do these attitudes differ between younger and older citizens in the United States and Western Europe? What explains this
difference? How does this manifest in different attitudes about immigration among the young and the old? Overall, do you think that globalization is good or bad for the United States? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Define interdependency as a situation in which the economic conditions in one nation impact the economic situations in other nations.
2, Indicate that interdependency is one of several different aspects of globalization.
3, Reveal public opinion about globalization, which is that large majorities of people in countries around the world believe that increased globalization is a good thing.
4, Identify the significant difference in public opinion between younger and older citizens, which is that younger citizens are significantly more supportive of globalization than are older citizens.
5, List the reasons for differences in attitudes between younger and older citizens. Specifically, older voters have greater pride in their cultures and are more worried about protecting their way of life.
6, Discuss how these differences affect attitudes about immigration, such as helping to explain why older voters are less supportive of immigration.
7, Argue that globalization overall is good for the United States or argue that it is bad. Those who argue that it is bad may point to decreasing pride and a loss of their way of life. Those who argue that it is good may argue that it results in lower costs and a better understanding of other cultures.
