1 Global Social Issues A Social Science Elective Course for Loudoun County Public Schools Grade 11/12 Elective Curriculum for Loudoun County Public Schools Loudoun County Public Schools Ashburn, Virginia, 2016
2 Global Social Issues: Course Overview This course is all about you. It may seem odd to begin a course about global issues by focusing on the individual, but by taking a close look at who we are as individuals, we can determine how we identify ourselves and how our identities are connected to different people across the world. Given the rapid pace of integration in today s world, we will likely find that even if we the people on this planet--have numerous differences, we all face similar issues for our human societies. Every day the news reminds us of just how highly interconnected and interdependent we are in this world, and everything that happens has an impact that can be felt in places that are very far away. The tsunami in the waters of Indonesia swamps not only the islands of that country but India and Sri Lanka too--prompting relief efforts from all over the globe. The explosion of the BP Deepwater oil rig is an unprecedented environmental disaster, but also severely affects the livelihood of fishermen, hotel keepers, shop owners and virtually everyone who lives along the Gulf Coast, and then its ripple effect is felt everywhere. Slumdog Millionaire, a movie about an unlikely TV game show participant in India, wins an Oscar for best film, and in the telling of the story, informs us of the complexities and challenges of modern Indian life. In Global Social Issues, we will study how humans behave and interact with each other. In some instances we will see people and nations working together on environmental concerns; and in some we will see other people and nations working at cross-purposes on the environment. On other issues, like women s rights, we will discover a wide spectrum of views and approaches according to a particular society s culture and history. The course is based on a framework of issues that will help us examine and understand cultures and societies around the world. We will begin by examining some of our own identities and social issues in Virginia and the U.S., and the various structures, concepts, and beliefs that characterize human social interaction here. Among these are family and community; class and caste; race, ethnicity, and gender; governance and economic systems. We will then use these categories to examine social issues across the globe, and identify factors that contribute to social change so that as various events unfold in our study, students and teachers will together be able to develop possible causes or explanations for them. Teachers are encouraged to develop a number of suggested topics that are representative of important global social issues and that fall loosely into one of three broad themes described below. Despite a topic s placement within a particular theme, it can be seen to have connections to several, if not all, of the other themes in the course. Teachers are encouraged to link topics to other themes and help students make and explain connections between them. *Many thanks go to Ting-Yi Oei for his careful thought and organization that made the creation of this curriculum possible.
3 Global Social Issues
4 Essential Knowledge and Skills: At the end of the course, students will be able to. List and describe the most important and pressing social issues facing many human societies across the globe today. Compare and contrast how different societies are structured when speaking about family life, schooling, economic activity, religion, and government. Describe how institutions like family, community, schools, and religion can change over time; explain what factors contribute to those changes and how those changes are handled across different cultures. Analyze an event such as the tsunami in Japan [earthquake in Haiti, BP Gulf oil disaster, Hurricane Katrina, etc.] and explain its consequences for the immediate community and the larger world. Identify the major factors that bring about social change. Explain several of those factors using specific examples from your study. e.g. Natural disasters; conflicts; economic disparities. Demonstrate with appropriate case studies that what happens in one domain of human activity affects others in many ways with both expected and unexpected consequences. e.g. the effects of drilling for oil. Explain how technology has revolutionized communication on both a personal and international level. In global terms, analyze the impact that Twitter, Facebook, Wikileaks, Al Jazeera, CNN, or other information networks have had. Examine how multiple societies try to address universal human challenges, and develop policy recommendations to help governments deal with these challenges. Define sociology and explain why it is helpful in learning about modern global social issues.
5 General Resources: LCPS: Library Media Services, Research Databases. Teachers should investigate the online research services provided by LCPS. One example of cultural change: the emergence of MTV in the 1980s, is discussed here: Global Issues: This site is an excellent starting point for research on this course with links to a host of other sites. United States Census Bureau: The United Nations: Oxfam International: Focus is on international humanitarian assistance but provides accurate and in-depth portraits of political and economic situations behind the problems. Public Broadcasting, Frontline: Please note: The resources listed here and following each unit often contain information and links to other topics in this course.
