1) Globalization is both heartily embraced and fiercely opposed. While we can engage in all sorts of debates about its pros and cons, what we cannot deny is the fact that globalization affects each of us in myriad ways. Briefly explain what, in your opinion, is the future of globalization in the light of: a) growing backlash against it in the west, b) COVID-19 and c) war in Ukraine. Explain how this future of globalization that you envision may affect your career and personal life.
2) This is a business course, not an anthropology course. Yet, we are spending a lot of time learning about culture. Why is it important for business people to learn about national cultures? Share a personal cultural experience/shock (if any) that you experienced during your interaction with a foreigner.
