ACHIEVEMENT OBJECTIVE(S):
Understand how formal and informal groups make decisions that impact on communities (L4)

‘Surviving the Global Village’ examines ideas about globalisation. It is designed to explore perspectives, values and decision making at a local, regional and global scale. The unit aims to develop an understanding of our interconnected world particularly through trade. Students will examine both the positive and negative impacts of globalisation on individuals, through to communities, regions and countries exploring their role as consumers and the role of TNC/Multinationals. A case study around sports apparel explores branding, marketing, consumer choices and cheap labour issues relating to sweatshops. The unit finally investigates fair-trade with a choice of case study products i.e. Jeans, Coffee, Chocolate, Bananas. These are basic case study ideas which can be developed further depending on student interest.
