Technology has become an adamant tool of ensuring that the current universe is viewed as a worldwide village. Marshall McLuhan is usually credited because the first-person who popularized the concept of a worldwide village but , he may not have fully comprehended the impact that it would have nowadays. However , at the same time, there are different global problems that have come about throughout the years(Chen, Boase, Wellman, 2012). Therefore , this study will analyze a female global villager from the rural areas in Kenya, a growing country who is about 46years. Essentially, this kind of project can firstly, look at the concept of global village, the emerging global issues in the society, not only that, illustrate how a gains have got changed a global village.
Surviving in the global community
First of all, the notion in the global community focuses on the world as a solitary community connected by technology. Notably, like a global small town, a person has a far more extensive perceptive about their outlook of existence and not only, concentrate on the particular community but likewise, the worldview. Through the internet, a person in Kenya can successfully communicate with another in the USA and so, improving the bond between all those two people(Chen, Boase, Wellman, 2012). Subsequently, my personal globe view can be founded on the fact that I include garnered vast knowledge within the different aspects of social, personal, and economic issues of the society. The truth that I have internet access has become a stepping stone towards progressing my knowledge. However , a similar is not the case to get a woman in rural Kenya, in that, since she has limited internet access, she has limited global knowledge and instead only targets the occurrences in her community. Inarguably, in most countryside areas in developing countries, the people will be poor and thus, have limited education chances as compared to these in the two urban areas and developed countries. Hence, because they are not approved equal opportunities as these in growing countries, and so, this causes the difference among my prospect and that of any rural female.
Presently, in the 21st century, the web use has adamantly elevated as the web users shift across the globe because they adapt to the changing environment. However , the society of an individual plays a huge part in impacting on whether a person can be viewed as a global villager. Because of the concept of the digital separate, there has been unequal access of sites in the world strongly based on geographic location, age group, gender, education, and ethnicity. Subsequently, the inequality in internet access has affected successfully the get of information in the specified individual(Chen, Boase, Wellman, 2012). Therefore , according to the research, it is going to analyze a worldwide villager coming from France who is 19 years of age and one particular woman via Alabama that is 59 years and compare with a global villager from rural Kenya. Firstly, the 19year old in Paris is incredibly different from a 46-year-old in rural, Kenya as they are within their prime teenagerhood age and use social networking regularly and through the social media, they can produce sufficient data. On the other hand, the 59-year-old in Alabama could possibly be conversant with information from different multimedia as they hardly ever use social media as a supply of information. However , they have the upper hand as compared with a woman surviving in rural areas especially in growing country. Hence, there are simply no substantial commonalities between the diverse global villagers depicted in this research because of the digital split.
Analyzing global issues
One of the prevalent global problems that have arisen in the current culture is the interrelation between normal water, food, and energy. The nexus of those three vital resources to humanity cannot be underestimated. In line with the Organizational to get Economic Co-operationand development, that illustrates which it takes drinking water to produce meals especially within just irrigation schemes across the globe and ultimately, increase the food supply to get the population. On the other hand, various powers have been utilized in powering water, especially for gardening and domestic use. Evenly, water can be fundamental inside the extraction of fuel and in addition, is used to operate power plants that permit the energy crops to produce essential oil, gas, and coal. Mostly, the historic context of this global issue is the decrease in food and water supply that facilitated a different sort of approach to be applied in ensuring that sustainability is usually achieved(OrganizationforEconomicCooperationandDevelopment, 2014).
Especially, the global world is focused about ensuring that the vitality sources accustomed to reduce the release of carbon that therefore, leads to the depletion in the ozone layer. Therefore , through the application of the nexus of water, foodstuff, and normal water, it is easy to you should find an alternative energy source that is attained through obtaining alternatives energy sources example the usage of conola and molasses coming from sugarcane as an alternative source of energy. For example, in To the south Asian countries, there is the deal of increase in the necessity for foodstuff, and this has consequently, resulted in most of the government authorities subsidizing the vitality sources through providing free water towards the people(Rasul, 2016).
For the global villager stated in this research, the nexus between the resources is pretty fundamental mainly because it helps in bettering sustainability. In Alabama and Paris, the governments possess adoptedefficiently this tactic as they gear towards their very own vision of 2030 and equally, maximize food supply near your vicinity to cater for its citizens(OrganizationforEconomicCooperationandDevelopment, 2014). However , that is not the truth for the agricultural Kenyan global villager who also may find this quite difficult to gain access to clean water for intake on a daily basis. Relating to a study undertaken by United Nations Habitat, only about 61% of the sub-Saharan Africa provides clean water for consumption. Similarly, since there is a limited supply of water in rural areas, that equally, depicts that these kinds of areas do not electricity and besides, in rural Kenya, firewood is a primary source of power. Therefore , it truly is evident the global villager as shown in this exploration fails to enjoy the advantageous aspects of applying the nexus inside the society(Kitio, 2013).
The threat of terrorism and immigration policies are currently among the crucial global issues that have the ultimate a result of impacting humankind by the 12 months 2030. Firstly, terrorism can be explained as the outlawed use of intimidation and physical violence against civilian with the harmful and death. There has been an increase in the terrorist attacks around the world with blameless civilians being radicalized on a daily basis. For example , the Manchester attack in 2017 was resulting from the failing to ensure that conclusive measures will be put in place to lessen radicalization of the youths in the militia groupings. Currently, the rise in terrorist attacks has already established a personal impact on me since it increases fear and anxiety especially when in public areas. Consequently, if the trend proceeds, it will have the same effect in 2030(Waxman, 2011).
On the other hand, countries such as the USA have placed stringent actions to limit the number of immigrants into the country. According to President Jesse Trump, he has found it worthwhile to ban immigrants via 7 Islamic nations. The principal impact on this strategy to me is that as a result of discriminatory nature of the regulation, it will boost chances of deportation and splitting up of families. Similarly, in 2030, together with the same laws in place, there exists a likely possibility of depletion of the idea of globalization, and it would have the influence of influencing my connection with people from the other countries(Alvarez, 2017).
Relating to research undertaken by United Nations, this illustrated there is no evidence that migrants has increased fear attacks. However , with the rigid measures applied to reject refugees their fundamental right to find security has the effects of affecting the security of the country. Inarguably, the steps used by the American countries to acquire restrictive measures to limit the entrance of refugees into their country has essentially been the building blocks of extremist groups depicting the Traditional western countries because evil and oppressive. Therefore , this is an illustration which the restrictive immigration policies will be the foundation of the propaganda employed by terrorist teams to rationalize the disorders and also, radicalize the youth adults into the militia groups(Dearden, 2016).
Exploring global citizenship
Currently taking actions motivation
Global citizenshipcan become defined as the rightness and duties of your individual like a citizen of any particular country. Certain important factors are essential in ensuring that the first is a good global citizen. Particularly, the main purpose of the evaluation is to give a global citizen not only recommends for a better society although also, occupies measures to make certain they can get solutions to these issues. Comprehending the Goal eight of the Un Sustainable Expansion Goal are necessary in making sure the youths become lively global citizens(Wibby, 2016).
Essentially, with this research can explore my own role as being a global citizen and the influence I may have had in solving the rising issues. Throughout the course, i was taught the emerging problems in the culture, and others essential quick solution. Therefore , We undertook the initiative of gathering knowledge especially within the issue of terrorism and immigration as well as the impact it has had about humanity. One of the essential features of a global citizen is they are furious by any kind of social injustice and is desperate to ensure that most human beings happen to be treated with dignity. Therefore , as a student, I have Enlighted my classmates on the various initiatives that could lessen the profiling of your particular community or religion. This has become a global catastrophe that has in the end, increased islamophobia. Hence, this research assists with creating a recommended future in the society high is shared understanding. The main goal of the course is to ensure that learners are familiar with the global issues and also, allow students critically examine the complex issues and the challenges affecting the society coming from a global perspective. Besides, to be globally competitive a good global citizen ought to equally become competent that will create an avenue for young people to invent their desired future(Fleet Winthrop, 2010).
Throughout the world competent citizenship
Flexibility and self-confidence are important aspects while learning the training course on global issues in the society. Attaining these personas helped me accomplish the primary goal of the study course which was not only to learn about the overall global world but as well, motivated myself toassist to find solutions to the challenges. Therefore , the first objective is always to enlighten the society and also, ensure that the society is just in its companies which is one of many vital attributes of a global citizen.
Equally, the objectives that have been weak included, solving a global problems as it is entirely difficult to find a conclusive solution. This objective is definitely weak since from a class setup college students are generally interested in the assumptive aspect rather than the practical aspect of being a global citizen. Second, the training course was regarded to ensure that the scholars were able to modify their view on specific issues including Islamophobia. Yet , this was a weak objective as not every students are willing to change their very own views on a certain topic.
The three most crucial things learnt in this course about certain global problems includes, weather change, migrants and availability of basic need just like food and water. For climatic change the course features highlighted the importance of different countries across the globe improving strategic measures to ensure that the 2030 G8 goals on sustainable advancement are obtained. Also, through the course, we have been able to understand that certain man actions that increase carbon dioxide emission leads to the destruction of the ozone layer. Hence, the need to make sure that measures will be put in place to minimize carbon release. On the other hand, regarding the issue of migrants, this course focused on the aspects of refugee rights and how the restrictive immigration policies have already been fundamental in increasing the terrorist problems. Lastly, through understanding the interrelation between drinking water, food, and energy, it is effective in increasing the food supply in specified countries and rendering adequate normal water.
Both main skills learnt in this course will be, resilience and critical considering skills which might be important as We try to understand the different global issues impacting on the world. Consequently, due to the vast expertise acquired by learning about different global problems, it has efficiently changed my own attitude on the acquiring knowledge. Notably, due to starting the training course, I have been able to effectively pay attention to the views of other people on controversial issues ahead of dismissing these people. Also, my personal attitude has evolved as I have become more confident in fighting intended for social injustice in the world.
Last but not least, to ensure impact on foreign relations, I would discourage people from profiling others religious beliefs and lifestyle but rather, discipline the perpetrator of the criminal offense as an individual. Secondly, We would encourage the federal government to put into action reasonable immigration policies and strike a balance among enforcing the rights with the immigrants which include refugees and protecting the sovereignty from the state.
