Welcome to SOCIAL 10! This is going to be an eye-opening class where you will have a chance to explore and discover various aspects of identity and the notion of GLOBALIZATION.
In the 10-1 stream, students will explore multiple perspectives on the origins of globalization and the local, national and international impacts of globalization on lands, cultures, economies, human rights and quality of life. Students will examine the relationships among globalization, citizenship and identity to enhance skills for citizenship in a globalizing world. The infusion of multiple perspectives will allow students to examine the effects of globalization on peoples in Canada and throughout the world, including the impact on Aboriginal and Francophone communities.
Globalization, the process by which the world’s citizens are becoming increasingly connected and interdependent, demands that students explore responsibilities associated with local and global citizenship and formulate individual responses to emergent issues related to globalization. Recognizing and appreciating the influence of globalization will lead students to develop individual and collective responses to emergent issues. The organization of Social Studies 10-1 will involve examining the following four broad units: Key Issue: Key Outcome Unit 1- Relationships among Globalization, Identity, & Culture: In this unit, students will examine the extent to which globalization shapes identity. Students will study the effects that globalization has on the economic, social, and political aspects of society. The unit will also examine globalization’s influence on language and culture, including cultural exchange, universalization of popular culture, cultural diversification, and promotion of languages. Unit 2- Impacts of Historical Globalization: This unit will examine the impact of globalization from a historical perspective. Cultural contact, European capitalism, industrialization, and imperialism, and the effects of these policies and practices will be discussed. Unit 3- Economic & Environmental Impacts of Globalization: The third unit will discuss the extent to which globalization contributes to sustainable prosperity for all people. Topics to be discussed will include historic and contemporary economic globalization, the expansion of economic globalization, issues in economic trade, resource development, sustainability and prosperity. Unit 4- Roles & Responsibilities in a Globalizing World: The final unit will involve a study of the extent to which students, as citizens, should respond to globalization. The concepts of quality of life, human rights, democracy, roles of children, youth and women, migration, food, pandemics, natural resources, organizations, businesses, and governments will be discussed.
