      After viewing the required video by Jakobs and Monfils, you need write a paragraph of 5 – 7 sentences addressing how being a global citizen in the world of advanced technology can be beneficial to your success in meeting your personal, academic, and professional goals.

It’s important to cite the video per APA guidelines within this paragraph.

      Short Title of Second Prompt

      After reading the article by Reysen and Katzarska-Miller, you need to write a paragraph of 5 – 7 sentences explaining why there has been a disagreement between theorists about the definition of global citizenship.

      Name of First Outcome Addressed (i.e. Valuing Diversity)

      Within this paragraph you need to explain why this outcome is important in becoming a global citizen. It’s a good idea to first define the outcome in your own words and then provide a thorough explanation on why it’s important for your own development as a global citizen.

      Name of Second Outcome Addressed (i.e. Social Justice)

      Same instructions as the first paragraph above.

      Short Title for Fourth Prompt

      Short Title of Fifth Prompt

      You need to write a 5 – 7 sentence paragraph that identifies two specific education courses and explains how each of those courses assisted or influenced your development in becoming a global citizen.

      Conclusion
