Use the "Three Close Reads" approach as you watch the video below.
Before you watch
Before you watch the video, it’s a good idea to open and skim the video transcript. And always read the questions below so you know what to look and listen for as you watch.
While you watch
- How does the child mortality rate from 1800 to the present show us that advances in medicine have been unequal?
- Why is the period after 1945 sometimes referred to as “the Great Acceleration”?
- How has globalization created a “flatter” world and how has it created a “lumpier” world?
- How has globalization positively and negatively affected cultural developments and interactions?
- How is climate change a shared global problem and an unequally shared problem?
- How has globalization and climate change impacted malaria?
After you watch
- John Arthur presented a few examples of the positive and negative effects of globalization. What are two additional examples of how globalization has impacted our world, either positively or negatively?
Now that you know what to look for, it’s time to watch. Remember to return to these questions once you’ve finished watching.
