Global Engagement

Global engagement has strong ties to what i spoke about in my post on diversity. ASU highly promotes global engagement by offering an array of study abroad programs and student exchange. Also at ASU we have students from 141 different countries so you can start to be globally engaged without leaving your campus. Global engagement is good for many reasons. It promotes growth, generates new ideas and allows opportunity for those who maybe did not have the chance before. Global engagement is also currently the growing factor on the current quest of sustainability.

Global engagement produces growth is an understatement. Never in history have we seen the growth in technology and business like we have in the past two decades. All of this is due to global engagement. when the world works together as one global community. Business now are our sourcing and becoming more globalized. In business we can see global engagement all around us in the products we use and buy. We buys cars designed in Germany, made in the US and then sold in China. Production chains like this can be seen in almost all the products we buy.

Perhaps the most prevalent effect of global engagement is the solving of world problems. People and organizations are beginning to approach world problems such as hunger, famine and water scarcity. In the video running dry they stress how important and urgent the water crisis is in countries like India and China as well as the regions in the middle east. We must all come together as a global community and create solutions for these world problems.
