This activity may not be evaluated, but is required to support your inquiry. Save your work in your
Notebook.

For this assignment you will choose one of the following ways in which people express their identity in
our globalizing world and complete two related readings. You will compare the perspective portrayed by
each of the writers and explain how closely it represents your own views.

Go to the Social Studies 10-2 Multimedia DVD, and choose from the following readings:

• Traditions

"Christmas in Politically Correct Times" (760 words, RL 1 1 )

• The Arts

"Investing in Indigenous Culture" (720 words RL 12)
"How Art Shapes Identity" (430 words RL 9)

In this lesson you have looked at the point of view of a number of people on the impact of identity in a
globalizing world. Some people believe that globalization leads to greater diversity, while others believe
that it is making us all more alike.

Highlight the theme you have chosen to explore:

• the arts

• traditions

• spirituality

• attire

Attach copies of the articles (numbered 1 and 2) that you have chosen for this analysis and consider
the following. What ideas do each of the sources presented communicate to you about the impact of
globalization on your identity? Explain the point of view of the author of each article, and identify the
impact of globalization. After you have analyzed both sources, provide your own point of view. Support
your response by referring to details in the sources and your understanding of the impact of
globalization in point form.

1 . From the point of view of the first author, is globalization leading to greater or fewer opportunities to
express individual or collective identity?
