Reflect: The change of our world from a local economy to a national economy to a global,
international economy means that increasingly diverse populations will have to work
together to achieve common goals. However, as the economy becomes increasingly global,
local economies and people may suffer economic disadvantage or may find themselves
marginalized from the rest of the world. Globalization creates ethical dilemmas for which we
will need to find solutions.
Write: For this discussion, address the following prompts:
• Explain the implications of globalization.
• Identify at least two ethical issues that go along with the global societal topic you
have chosen for your final essay.
• Explain how globalization contributes to or affects these ethical dilemmas.
• Propose solutions to these ethical dilemmas that are feasible financially, socially, and
culturally.
