書面報告
Writing
整學期共有四次正式書面報告：兩篇五頁小論文(分別於第5與第9週繳交)以及最後一堂課繳交7~8頁的期末報告。短篇論文的題目自訂，或是經過老師允許，可以由每週的討論延伸成報告。我很樂意閱讀你們的報告初稿，但除非有特殊原因，否則我不收重寫稿。我也鼓勵各位多善用寫作中心這個極佳的資源。
There will be four significant writing assignments: two 5-page essays (due in Weeks 5 and 9), and a 7-8 page final project due on the last day of class. You will have a choice of essay topics, or with the approval of the instructor, they may be developed from the issues raised in the weekly discussions. I am happy to look at preliminary drafts of papers, but except for unusual circumstances, I do not accept rewrites. I would also encourage people to make use of the Writing Center as it is an excellent resource.
每週作業
Short Weekly Assignments
依照課程進度，我每週都會指派些作業，像是簡短的寫作習題，或是要求某些學生準備討論題目或引導閱讀後的討論活動。
Depending on how the class is progressing, I reserve the right to assign short weekly assignments, such as brief writing exercises, or to ask certain students to prepare discussion questions, or to lead discussion of the readings.
學生口頭報告
Student Presentations
我要強調學生口頭報告在這堂課佔很重要的部分。各位都要作簡短的口頭報告，不管是正式或討論的部分內容，這是為了讓你們更加了解閱讀資料．影片或是講課內容。我很鼓勵各位藉此機會讓其他同學了解那些沒有直接探討在我們閱讀功課或講課裡探討的文化與全球化例子。
I would also stress that student presentations form a key component of the course. Students will be asked to make short presentations, either formally or as part of discussion, throughout the term as a way of delving into the readings, films, and lectures. I encourage you to use such opportunities to introduce the class as a whole to examples of culture and globalization that may not be directly treated in the reading assignments or lectures.
像文化與全球化這種議題，絕不可能在一學期的課程當中就能完整探討，也不可能包含到其中的每個觀念。於是，我們會著重於發展各項必要的分析工具，來幫助我們用全球化的觀點揭開當今世界中經濟．政治與文化轉變過程的部分。為了達到這個目的，身為學生的各位需要作大量的功課來舉出明確且最新的例證，讓我們能配合著閱讀理論，來思考它們因這些例證而產生的結果。
With a topic like "Culture and Globalization," there is clearly no way for a one-semester class to be comprehensive, nor give a full overview of the issues involved. Instead, we will focus on developing the analytical tools necessary to unravel some of the complex economic, political and cultural changes of the contemporary world with respect to globalization. In order to accomplish this, the course will rely to a large extent on the work of you, the students, to bring concrete, up-to-date examples which we can use to assess the theoretical readings and reconsider their conclusions in light of our examples.
以下是這學期的作業。
Below are assignments due throughout the term.
論文 1
Essay #1
戴蒙教授主張美國人的征服行動是因為歐洲民族權力的劇烈差異對那些沒有槍炮、病菌與鋼鐵的民族造成了極大的影響。《媒體世界》擷取出來的文章中，我們看見周圍有許多例子企圖利用媒體來面對現代差異，包括文化、政治、經濟力量等方面。這些影響何時最大？為什麼？寫一篇評論性短文，用一件（最多兩件）事來說明因為利用媒體來宣傳政治、經濟、或文化目的所造成的差異。
Diamond argues that the conquest of the Americas resulted from dramatic differences in the power of Europeans over people less endowed with guns, germs, and steel. In the articles assigned from Media Worlds, we see examples of the periphery attempting to use media to confront certain contemporary differences in cultural, political, and economic power. When do such efforts seem to work best and why? Write a short commentary suggesting one (or at most two) things that seem to make a difference in using media to promote political, economic, or cultural goals.
