Globalization
My selected topic of the project is globalization. It refers to the economic integration of several formerly national economies into one global economy, specifically by free trade and free mobility of capital alongside smooth and uncontrolled migration. My previous papers prepared me for this more extended project because they gave me an idea of what globalization is all about. The articles made me know globalization in details and thus gave me the confidence of working on it as my main project of research.
Additionally, the papers prepared me in a way that I came to understand the other writers who had done research on the same topic and that gave me a more in-depth insight on how I would carry out the literature review. On the other hand, in researching this more extended project, some of the previous papers did not prepare me for the work because not all the documents that I had to read were concerned with globalization. I had to read comprehensive for me to come up with the topic of study. I read a lot; some of the papers I read were not in line with globalization and thus did not prepare me for this long project.
For me to select the final project topic, I had to brainstorm for ideas. After that, I chose a topic which would make it easy for me to read and understand the literature. I also made sure that the topic was easily manageable, and that the materials would be available easily. Besides, I made a list of the keywords and ensured that I was flexible. The next thing I did was to define the topic as a focused research question, and finally, I formulated the thesis statement. That formed the procedure of how I selected my topic of research.
I approached the final project with knowledge about it because I made sure that I had gathered a lot of information about it. Also, I considered the budget of the project and amassed the amount I needed to execute the budget. I also ensured that I work with my supervisor closely for guidance on how to conduct the project.
The thing that I liked most about working on the project is that it expounded my mind about globalization. The reason is that I had to learn a lot of information that I could not obtain from a class setting on globalization. These include the globalization theories and research on the impacts of globalization on economic growth. From the work, I also knew how to carry out research design and the methodology, because I practically did them.
The most challenging thing about carrying out the project was at the point of the methodology. I had to do both primary and secondary data collection. On the part of the primary collection, I had to interview several people, and some did not want to corporate. Also, the best and latest secondary materials on globalization were not easily accessible online, and some needed to be paid for in Amazon. Therefore, the most challenging part was that of data collection.
Working on the project changed me as a writer because it improved my writing skills, and now I can quickly type a lot of documents faster. It also sharpened my thinking and reasoning capacity, and now I can store a lot of information in my brain and deliver the same information on paper. This experience has prepared me to write in other classes because I have improved my writing and researching skills. As a result, it will be easy to handle the other classes’ works.
