Activity: Issue/Challenge in Global Governance: A SWOT Analysis

A SWOT analysis is a strategic planning technique used to help a person or

organization identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to
business competition or project planning. Strengths and weakness are frequently
internally-related, while opportunities and threats commonly focus on the external
environment. The name is an acronym for the four parameters the technique
examines:
 Strengths: characteristics of the business or project that give it an advantage
over others.
 Weaknesses: characteristics of the business that place the business or
project at a disadvantage relative to others.
 Opportunities: elements in the environment that the business or project could
exploit to its advantage.
 Threats: elements in the environment that could cause trouble for the
business or project. (Wikipedia “SWOT Analysis,” 2019)

Choose one issue/challenge in global governance from the following: rogue

state, ethnic conflict, infectious disease, terrorism, climate change, food and water
scarcity, international migration, human trafficking, drug trafficking, piracy and
proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction and then use the SWOT analysis
template below.

Activity: Global North-South Divide Photo Collage

A collage is a work of art composed of numerous materials… Originating from the

French word “coller”, meaning “to glue”, the collage allows you to experiment with a wide
range of materials to achieve amazing end results (“How to Make a Collage,” 2018). In this
activity, students will have an option to create a collage using words and pictures to show
the dichotomy between the Global North and the Global South.

Materials Needed

1 whole illustration board, old-fashion or news magazines, newsprint, photographs or

electronic images, art papers, bond paper, Elmer’s glue, foils, tapes, scissors, marker,
ribbons, beads, string, feathers or fabric

Method

1. Collect the materials needed for making a collage.

2. Use cut-outs from magazines or newsprint.
3. Make use of different foils or tapes. Use colored masking or duct tape.
4. Use photographs. Cutting images from old photographs can lend your collage a retro feel.
5. Fold, cut or tear the paper into different shapes. You can use scissors to make different
shapes.
6. Cut out a whole picture, an identifiable part, or just enough to evoke texture, color, or
feeling.
7. To make a word, cut out letters from sources that use different fonts.
8. Choose an assigned theme (e.g. Global North or Global South).
9. Consider adding embellishments like ribbons, beads, string, feathers or fabric in the
collage.
10. Figure out what you’re going to glue the collage onto your illustration board.
11. Assemble the pieces before you glue them.
12. Glue the collage. Use Elmer’s glue to fasten the images into the collage. Let the collage
dry.
13. After completing your collage, snap a picture of it with your smartphone.
14. Be prepared to present your collage to the class by answering the following questions:
a. What is the subject matter of the collage?
b. What are the things you see in the collage?
c. What is going on in the collage?
d. What is your realization after doing this activity?
e. What is the possible title you will use in your collage?

Directions: Read the following questions and quotes about globalization and
then answer each question and quote in exactly 140 words on a separate sheet of
paper.

A. Questions

1. What is globalization and who are its major actors and agencies?

2. What is the role of the internet/communication/technology in globalization?

3. What are the benefits of globalization for the average person? What are the
drawbacks of globalization for the average person?

4. List three specific things that we can do to maximize the potential of globalization
while minimizing its deleterious effects.

5. Are there alternatives to globalization?

B. Quotes

1. “Globalization is a fact of life. But I believe we have underestimated its fragility."

― Kofi Annan

2. “Our task is not to make societies safe for globalization, but to make the global
system safe for decent societies.” ― John J. Sweeney

3. “Globalization has made national boundaries more porous but not irrelevant. Nor
does globalization mean the creation of a universal community.” ― Joseph S.
Nye Jr.

4. “Globalization means standardization. The very rich and the very poor must want
the same things, but only the rich can have them.” ― Arundhati Roy

5. “At the end of the day, we supported globalization because we wanted to be able
to buy cheaper computers, cheaper vehicles, cheaper clothes and cheaper
furniture. Wal-Mart parking lots were jammed with North American workers
buying bargain-basement-priced goods made in China even if in the process they
were shopping themselves right out of their own jobs.” ― Jeff Rubin
