Global Lifelong Learning Plan
Global awareness self-assessment has made me realized that there were a few areas that I am lacking of. In the era of globalization, the understanding of the world or what is happening around the world is important for personal and also professional growth. We will never know that maybe one day, we will work in an international company, which requires connection and networking with people from other country and culture. With this understanding, we will be able to connect and network better with people from other country and culture.

According to the self-assessment, there are two components that I have to pay extra attention on in order to grow in this area and that is knowledge and skills. Below are the five areas that I would have to grow in: Knowledge of world geography,

Without research skill, one can only know certain knowledge till a certain extent and will never be able to know the full story of it. In order to enhance this area, I can participate in more research project in order to enhance my research skills and also critical thinking skills. For instance, now I am currently in a research team that are getting ready to carry out a research in March and this will help in enhancing my researching skill.

Holding onto those opportunity will definitely help in enhancing this

    As an inhabitant of this world, we may be asked the question; “To what extent does globalization contribute to sustainable prosperity for all people.” This is a question that not many people can answer, while some will provide a vague definition of either globalization or sustainability that is off topic. This just shows how naïve we are to the world around us. As global citizens, I believe we should be more knowledgeable and have a broader understanding of events happening around the world. If people became more knowledgeable and understanding, they would see that there is more than meets the eye to these global issues, but more so that citizens would be able to help those in need and the environment stay sustainable for future generations.…

    The strongest person in the world might be able to tackle any physical obstacle, but mental stress can be much more difficult. The nuance with mental stress is that different environments affect people in different ways, and in different magnitudes. Cathy Davidson’s “Project Classroom Makeover”, Susan Faludi’s “The Naked Citadel”, and Malcolm Gladwell’s “The Power of Context”, all describe scenarios with environments that are either stressful and negative, or relaxed and positive. An individual’s identity is minimally impacted in positive environments and drastically affected in negative environments.…

    Looking back on my semester, and my Global Mindset Inventory Assessment I can say based off of the parameters I set for myself, I could have been a lot better about ensuring that I achieve my goals and objectives. However, I think that by acknowledging the areas where I was the weakest/lacked the certain skillset needed, allowed for me to still have some personal growth in these areas. In my Assessment Plan, I had chosen to work on my Cosmopolitan Outlook (2.71), Interpersonal Empathy (2.83) and Global Business Savvy skills (1.38). I had originally chosen theses skills, because they were ones that I scored the lowest in, but also because I found them to be the ones that provided the best opportunity for personal growth in myself across my scoresheet.…

    The downfall for many organizations is the incompetence to be able to understand the differences between cultures and wanting to promote a cross-cultural program. To promote interaction between different cultures has its advantages but takes a great amount of time and research (Barker).

Cross-cultural communication is no longer an option to choose to participate in companies to communicate with other individuals it is now a requirement for companies to create a program to diversify its employees to stay above the competition (Zofi).…
