HI, Bob Thanks for your response. IN recent academic meetings across the state, I've heard the word "globalization" used to mean a move toward lowering of tariffs on imports, a move toward strengthening international corporate power at the expense of national business and values, and a move toward a commonality of educational standards that would allow European schools to compete with or replace American education. I've also heard the word "globalization" to mean entirely different ideas, such as a greater tolerance for ideas from other cultures. It would be helpful to find a definition or an expression of what we want to discuss. Again, Thanks Janet Dr. Janet Nepkie Professor of Music and Music Industry Music Department State University College Oneonta, New York 13820 tele (607) 436 3425 fax 607 436 2718 > ---------- > From: Teaching Breakfast List on behalf of [log in to unmask] > Reply To: Teaching Breakfast List > Sent: Wednesday, November 3, 2004 11:11 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: Reminder of Next Teaching Breakfast > > Hi Janet: > > > > I suggested this topic to Jim (others may also have). I mentioned that I had heard a college president from Albany state that his greatest concern was to make his students aware of the increasing impact of globalization on their lives. In my opinion, this could relate to international competition for jobs; the need to understand and respect other cultures (although yesterdays vote might indicate general unwillingness to do this); etc. I also heard someone talking the other day about a number of commonly used products and services, and the fact that all the companies that made/provided them were owned by foreign investors. I was not aware of many of them, and am sure our students are also not. I believe we, as faculty, need to make our students more conscious of such issues, and think a TB discussion of what and how would be useful. I am sure there are also other items that should be on this list. > > > > Bob > > > > _____ > > From: Teaching Breakfast List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Janet Nepkie > Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 10:24 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: Reminder of Next Teaching Breakfast > > > > Hell JIm and all, > The teaching breakfast topic looks interesting, but I'd be grateful if we could have some suggestion PRIOR to our meeting of what the TB means when it speaks of "globalization." > > Thanks > Janet > > Dr. Janet Nepkie > Professor of Music and Music Industry > Music Department > State University College > Oneonta, New York 13820 > tele (607) 436 3425 > fax 607 436 2718 > > ---------- > From: Teaching Breakfast List on behalf of Jim Greenberg > Reply To: Teaching Breakfast List > Sent: Wednesday, November 3, 2004 9:30 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Reminder of Next Teaching Breakfast > > The next Teaching Breakfast will be November 4 at 8:00 AM in Morris Hall > room 103.
