The purpose of this reflection report is to show how the knowledge I attained from the Globalization and Business General Education (GE) course was both implemented and heeded my personal development, as well as my thoughts and views towards the course.
I am currently studying an Associate of Arts, specifically in the Languages and Communications division. The possibility of learning and studying Business in college never occurred to me, that learning how to communicate in a workplace environment at one of my mandatory English classes was as far as I was going to get to touching this discipline of study. It was unexpected when I first sat in the lecture hall that Tuesday afternoon, in the midst of those first few weeks of the second semester, listening to an introduction of Globalization.
I was only vaguely aware of what I was getting myself into taking this course, an advanced combination of Liberal Studies and Business. I feared that I was not going to fare well in it as I had always associated Business with numbers, and my abilities in that field are not really worth mentioning. At the beginning, I also could not see how this course could heed my learning in or correspond with my other courses; I regarded it as a single entity and foresaw the late nights reading and trying to comprehend all the concepts and

In the beginning, I recall being called up to the board by the tutor to write either an advantage or disadvantage of Globalization without having any time to leaf through my notes. The tutorials provided students the opportunity to ponder and discuss more over the content they attained through the lectures. A notable example was when I did the team presentation on Cultural Globalization; after much discussion it was decided that I would be mainly in charge of analyzing Hong Kong’s culture with reference to the Hofstede
As in any class worth taking I expect there to be challenges when dealing with the course material
The problem with this class was I could not make any connections with what I was supposed to learn and other math classes. I was able to pass the class with the help of the tutor; however, I did not retain all of the concepts needed to solve the difficult equations. I was able to retain enough information
That was the reason I gave up on it 3 weeks into the course when things started getting more complex. I grew this fear of programming that it was not for me. 2 years later I had a spark that interested me to make an iOS application and I gave programming another shot. I looked into
The subjects taught in the arts and history section of liberal arts programs across the universities in America revolve around the importance of culture and an ethical understanding of how the world works. This not only helps in self-development but also in the growing job industry where an understanding of ethics and communication plays an equally important role as the skills involving the job. Per Robert Thompson Jr., “Practical liberal education reflects the intentional integration of the traditional liberal education focus on developing intellectual and personal skills with the traditional professional and technical focus on solving complex problems” (2014). Moreover, history, art and political studies impart the ideas regarding the progression of human civilization and tradition. In times of globalization there is a greater need for us to understand the relationship that exists between countries of varying political standing.
The first week was relatively easy and I had no worries, but then the second week came along and changed my perspective of the class. The heavy amounts of math were not my favorite. I was sufficient in math, but this was more complex than any other math I had experienced before. I struggled on the first couple of quizzes and tests. I started to become discouraged with my capabilities.
In my future, I hope to continue the skills I have acquired during this English class. I think that they will be very obliging to me, nevertheless of what I am trying to achieve. In this course, I was encountered with deadlines, instructions, and assignments that I could not work around. I found that all of these responsibilities have made me comprehend that I could definitely take the next step forward in life.
I wasn’t able to master the materials in the beginning, and it hurt me throughout the rest of the semester. I tried to recover by staying on top of homework, visiting the BLC and my TA’s office hours, and studying even more for exams. In the end, the hard work didn’t pay off, for I still received a D in the class. Although I passed, I am still disappointed in the grade I received and my experience in the class as a whole.
Even though i know there are still some serious issues with my writing, I am not going to be discouraged. I honestly believe that this course has better prepared me for my future classes. This experience has removed a lot of
I had a couple of questions as to what I should expect in this specific course such as: How many papers would we be expected to write? Would we be assigned a lot of homework? As my course started to progress my questions about what I should expect were soon answered. My expectations became clearer because I found out things such as, the course followed a schedule with specific number of assignments, we would have significant amount of time to complete each project. Starting my first independent essay, I was nervous because I have to go above and beyond when researching in order to get a good grade.
Introduction Nowadays people can communicate easily. They can share their ideas, their cultures even with people who are not in their countries. They can trade, transporting products around the world in just a few days. This is a big economy where everything related to each other. This is globalization.

I highly advise you take this class even if you don't think it's something you would be into, I very much enjoyed it and hope to continue my
Globalization is the process of transformation of the whole world into the global village, and it means that the borders of countries are open to reciprocal integration and connection. All governmental systems in both developed and developing countries were under the influence of various globalization processes. Regarding education, it is considered that developing countries felt significant impact of the globalization processes in the last 40 years. Globalization and education are considered as an intertwined set of global processes affecting education, such as worldwide discourses on human capital such as are lifelong learning, the knowledge economy and technology, English as a global language; multilateral organizations and multinational corporations. Educational discourses generally assign to human capital, lifelong learning for improving job skills, and economic development, because most governments prioritize the developing the human capital to stimulate economic progress.
Globalization is the method by which business, corporations, individuals start to operate on an international scale. Globalization has empowered monetary advancement, social and political impact. Though globalization is advantageous to the individuals who have worldwide systems while others are barred. The counter globalization development surveys the importance of globalization.
Then I will state the links between globalization and some of the other lectures that we have covered this year, I chose this lecture because it’s one of the most important parts of any business environment worldwide, globalization has also introduced many developments such as internationalization, liberalization etc. Topic Discussion: Globalization has opened the doors between all businesses and countries worldwide, it has created connections without boundaries and a global exchange of information, cultures etc. It has widely increased the flow of money exchange and foreign investments in countries, and created an involvement between different people in many political, social and economical activities.
