As part of this week’s work, we will begin our Global Village exercise. You will have the opportunity, this week, to begin study about the member of the Global Village whom you will be assigned to represent. The concept of the Global Village is as follows: If the entire world were represented by a global village of 100 people, what would that village look like? Some estimates suggest that about 20 of the people would live in China; 13 would live in Africa; and about 5 would live in the United States. About 13 would be malnourished, and about 15 would live on the equivalent of U.S. $1.00 per day or less. We will replicate, to the extent possibly, the Global Village in our class. Fortunately or unfortunately, we don’t have 100 people in our class. However, we have adapted a list of 34 people, each of whom represents 1/34th of the world’s population. Your instructor will assign to you one of those people, and will represent them in this week’s class discussions. You will report about your subject’s life circumstances in this week’s Discussion. Furthermore, the research you do to support your Discussion post will serve as the basis for your Human Rights Reflection paper. The Policy Brief is the major assignment for the class, but the Human Rights Reflection paper is also a significant course assignment. For now, look for a message from your instructor about your subject assignment. Then, use the information provided to conduct a web-based search for information about what the life circumstances of someone situated similarly to your client would be like. Utilize the latitude and longitude to learn exactly where your subject lives. You could even try to use Google Earth to take a look at the region. Here are some kinds of information you might try to learn about your subject: Name (identify a name common in your subject’s context) City and country of residence (you know the country – use latitude and longitude to look up closest cities) Ethnicity Religion / beliefs associated with religion. Also clothing / nature of dress. Does this subject face religious persecution? Diet / food access / access to clean water. Does your subject have adequate food and clean water?Education. How much education can your subject expect to have access to? What can be known about the quality and cost of that education? Shelter / what home is like / access to running water and hot water / access to electricity. Also whether the subject lives with immediate family only or extended family and how decisions are made within the family. Does your subject have safe shelter? Life expectancy. Also, if adult, number of children the person will likely have Language Annual income in US dollars Occupation and age when work started Nature of communication with others Nature of transportation used, also whether the person can travel independently Access to healthcare Population density and pollution Potential impact of climate change on the person’s environment Websites that might prove helpful: State.gov – Countries & Areas CIA World FactbookNational Geographic Travel (use search function) UN News World Bank Open Data I was assigned this:RussiaundefinedFemaleundefined25undefinedRural60 N x 60 EWrite a summary of the human rights research you have done about your subject. Post requirements: Your post must be at least 300 words. Because you very likely will not be able to find peer reviewed, empirical literature to support you in this assignment, you can use web-based sources not typically used in academic assignments. However, be discerning in your search: 1) select the most reputable websites you can find. Human Rights Watch is probably more dependable than a blog 2) search for consensus. If you see a claim made on a governmental website (for instance, if a country asserts it supports freedom of religion), but you have some suspicion that this claim may be false, continue to search to determine if other websites support or dispute this claim. Do keep track of and present your sources, so others can verify your findings if need be. Discussion posts do not require a cover page. Discussion posts are due on Thursdays by 11:59 p.m. Central time.
