In the space of four to five pages, please respond to one of the questions below. Essays should be double-spaced with a 12-point Times New Roman Font and 2.56cm or one-inch margins as per the general formatting instructions. Please include your name, student number, and the date in the upper right corner of the first page of your paper and page numbers in the bottom right corner throughout the assignment. Please also indicate which question you are responding to at the top of the assignment. Please draw on and engage with the assigned course material to support your essay. The essay questions also ask you to engage with course readings in comparative, analytical, and critical ways. Try to avoid too much summary — summarize only to the extent that you are able to substantiate your point and then focus on a discussion that illustrates your nuanced thinking about globalization and your understanding of the text. [unique_solution]You are welcome to write in first person (when speaking about your position) and third person (when speaking about our authors and their work) — just avoid writing in second person. You are welcome to include brief quotes from the readings where appropriate, but please do not include lengthy passages, as these in fact can take away from the strength of your point — your ideas and how you say those ideas matter. Citations should be included in the text using APA citation format and included in the bibliography at the end of your assignment. There is no need to do outside research to answer the question. Compare and contrast Pieterse’s argument towards understanding globalization in terms of hybridity with Appardurai’s theorization of global scapes or flows. What are the strengths and weaknesses of each argument? Is one of these theories stronger in terms of understanding or making sense of contemporary globalization? If so, which one is stronger and why? To demonstrate each theory and your argument, engage with examples from course readings.
