Before beginning this project with Nicole, I was very unsure of what either topic really was. I thought that humanities had to do with the study of humans but I did not know what it included.
Let me begin by stating that global education is about education around the world in different countries.
Global education has five perspectives. These five perspectives are interdependence and globalization which is the understanding of complex social, economic, and political links between people, identity and cultural diversity which is an understanding of self and one's own culture, and being open to others culture, social justice and human rights which is an understanding of the impact of inequality and discrimination, the importance of standing up for our own rights and our responsibility to respect our rights, peace building and conflict resolution which is an understanding of the importance of building and maintaining positive and trusting relationships and ways conflicts can be prevented, and finally sustainable futures which is an understanding of the ways in which we can meet our current needs without diminishing the quality of the environment. All of these topics help create better citizens who understand personal and universal needs.
When dealing with humanities, there are only specific subjects in which humanities is included in. Humanities can be brought up in art and music, literature, religious studies, history, and philosophy.
To incorporate both these topics into the classroom, you could use Skype. There is a specific Skype designed for students to use in the classroom that enables them to communicate with students in other classrooms around the world. Another way to incorporate these topics into other topics is to use geography and literature.
