Globalisation discussed as “a complex relation to its discourse.”
In the Abstract, Papastephanous writes, “failure to grasp
distinctions between globalisation and globalism leads to naïve
and ethnocentric glorifications of the potentialities of
globalization…. The antagonistic impulses cultivated by
globalization and globalist discourse are singled out and
targeted…. The final suggestion of the article concerns the
vision of a more cosmopolitically sensitive education.” This

the biggest problems with general education courses is the fact
that students do not think they are important. The author then

problem-solving skills before they start taking more advanced
courses in their field of study. This article will assist you with
