Find an article, web page or a blog post about something that matters to you. This might have to do with your major, with current events...anything really. As long as it relates in some way to globalization.
So, for example, if I'm really interested in film and want to do something related to films, then maybe I find a web page about Cinema Novo, a Brazilian film movement. Or an article about the films nominated for Best Foreign Film for the Academy Awards.
If I'm interested in Economics, maybe I find an article about how the American economic crisis is effecting a foreign country. Or about foreign car companies.
NEXT step: include a link to the article/blog post/web page, etc. Write one or two sentences about the subject of the article and its connection to globalization.
Then create a list of six research topics or questions that relate (in some way) to the article/web page, etc. and also to globalization.
For example, if what I found was a web page on Cinema Novo, the following could be my six research topics or questions:
-How is Brazilian cinema novo a reaction against Hollywood films?
-Was Brazilian cinema novo influenced by other foreign film industries?
-What proportion of films in Brazilian movies theaters are actually Brazilian films?
-Do the films being made in Brazil today have any parallels to the cinema novo movement?
-Has the cinema novo movement had any effect on the American film industry?
-What economic pressures limit the types of films that foreign film industries can make?
Types of comments that will be useful: come up with another research question that would fit in the same general subject matter; comment on whether one of the research questions seems too broad or too narrow for an eight page paper and give a suggestion on how to improve it; think of a connection to a similar subject that might give other research topic ideas; etc.
Label to put on post: globalization
