Summary:
This Social Studies 10-2 textbook engages students in thinking critically about issues, complexities and multiple perspectives of historical and contemporary globalization and its effects on economics, the environment, politics, individuals, communities, identities, citizenship, human rights and quality of life at local, national and international levels. Alongside global connections, emphasis is placed on the Canadian context in the 10-2 program and in this resource to help students frame understandings of globalization in relationship to their own lives. Each chapter in the student resource contributes to students ́building understandings of, and responses to, the key issue for the course, "To what extent should we embrace globalization?"
