    Global Perspectives

    Revision: What do we learn in Global Perspectives?

    • Develop an analytical knowledge of global issues and their causes, consequences and
    possible courses of action.
    • Work independently as well as part of a team.
    • Consider important issues from personal, local and/or national and global
    perspectives and understand the links between them.
    • Critically assess the information available to us and support judgements with lines of
    reasoning.
    • Communicate and empathize with the needs and rights of others.
    • Develop curiosity.

    How do we do that?

    • Use our own interests in class.


    • Carry out debates.
    • Investigate.
    • Listen to other people.

    What are our goals?

    • To become more confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged and


    equipped for success in the modern world.
    • To become independent and empowered to take our place in society.

    Remember!

    Information is all around us – on television, radio and computers. We constantly use


    information in our written or spoken work and in interactions with all the people in our lives. It is
    important to think about how you use the information.

    IGCSE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES

    Discuss:

    What is a reasoning?
    What is claiming?

    Activity:

    Define the following terms.


    1) Empathy
    2) Critical thinking

    Answer:

    How are your definitions different from your classmates’ definitions?


    How are they similar?
    What have you learnt?

    Remember:

    Our views are influenced by many people, including our parents, friends
    and people we admire. A global perspective asks you to think beyond
    yourself, your family, your school and your country or the country you are
    living in.

    IGCSE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES
    Thinking about a global perspective

    Often, a global issue or problem demands a global solution. It would not be possible to solve
    the global problem of climate change with a local solution, even though local courses of action
    might be taken to help towards a global solution. For the problem of climate change, for example,
    a local course of action might be a poster campaign aimed at businesses, encouraging them to
    reduce the amount of fossil fuels they are using.
    Can you think of more examples?

    Key terms

    Assumption: something that is accepted as true or as certain to happen,


    without proof.
    Solution: a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult
    situation.
    Course of action: a plan or method used for achieving a specific aim or
    goal.
    Information: facts gathered about something or someone that helps our
    understanding.

    More Key terms

    Argument: a line of reasoning to support a given perspective, idea, action


    or issue.
    Research: the investigation into and study of materials and sources in
    order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
    Conclusion: a judgement or decision reached.
