United States. Or, you may focus on an aspect of US culture that has implications for the global community.
**You may not write about a topic that is related in any way to your major.
Globalization
Globalization refers to the worldwide phenomenon of technological, economic, political and cultural exchanges, brought about by modern

communication, transportation, and legal infrastructure as well as the political choice to consciously open cross-border links in international

trade and finance. It is a term used to describe how places and human beings are becoming more intertwined with each other around the world

economically, politically, and culturally. Although these globalization links are not new, they are more pervasive than ever before.
