We live in an age of "Globalization". Modern transportation and communications have overcome what were once almost insurmontable natural barriers. The world's economies are now interrelated in ways that would have been unimaginable in the past. Many corporations are now multinational. Contemporary scientists debate whether we are witnessing man-made changes in the global climatic system. Very little exists in isolation, as one element of the global systems affects the others.
The United States, as the world's lone superpower, occupies an unique place in the global system. The summer assignment is to identify either American current events, or actions Americans commonly take everyday, and explain the attendant global consequences. Be sure to clearly identify the events or actions, and establish links to how these influence the world. The paper should be three pages long, using standard fonts and margins, and must include citations. The link above to the textbook site will have a link to useful geography sites.
