According to Joseph E. Stiglitz (2002), globalization is the closer integration of the countries and people of the world brought about by the enormous reduction of costs of transportation and communication, and the breaking down of artificial barriers to the flows of goods, services, capital, knowledge, and people across borders. Held, et al. (1999) defined that globalization captures elements of a widespread perception that there is a broadening, deepening and speeding up of world-wide interconnectedness in all aspects of life, from the cultural to the political, the financial to the environmental. Cole (2018) shared that according to sociologists, globalization is an ongoing process that involves interconnectedness changes in the economic, cultural, social and political spheres of society. Beck (2000), defined globalization as a process through which transnational actors undermine sovereign national states with varying prospect if power, direction, identities and network. Globalization is the process of interaction and integration between people, business entities, governments, and cultures from other nations, driven by international trade and investment and supported by information technology (Levin Institute, 2017). What is multicultural literacy? Taylor and Hoechsmen (2011) shared that multicultural literacy is defined through the idea of an inclusive and diverse education system where students of all cultural backgrounds are provided with the respect and recognition they deserve in the classroom. It is through this literacy that we must foster certain pedagogies concerning both social justice and social difference in the classroom. Boutte (2008) discussed how by fostering both critical thinking and culturally sensitive pedagogies to bring explicit attention to society-related cultural issues, in hope to positively impact diverse learners in the classroom through giving recognition to the barriers they may face through educational institutions. O’Byrne and Smith (2015) stated how through the use of multicultural literacy, culturally marginalized students feel more respected and comfortable in the classroom as they genuinely feel their needs are being met and their voices are being heard. Banks and Stark (2003) stated that although literacy is essential that all students acquire the basic literacy and computational skills, this is not enough. Students should also acquire the skills, attitudes and commitments to be reflective, moral and active citizens in a troubled global world. We define multicultural literacy as the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure that any communication with a culture different from our own is clear, productive, and respectful such that their differences are celebrated

5. What is Globalization?

6. According to Joseph E. Stiglitz (2002),
globalization is the closer integration of
the countries and people of the world
brought about by the enormous reduction
of costs of transportation and
communication, and the breaking down of
artificial barriers to the flows of goods,
services, capital, knowledge, and people
across borders.

7. Held, et al. (1999) defined that
globalization captures elements of a
widespread perception that there is a
broadening, deepening and speeding up of
world-wide interconnectedness in all
aspects of life, from the cultural to the
political, the financial to the
environmental.

8. Cole (2018) shared that according to
sociologists, globalization is an ongoing process
that involves interconnectedness changes in the
economic, cultural, social and political spheres of
society.
Beck (2000), defined globalization as a process
through which transnational actors undermine
sovereign national states with varying prospect if
power, direction, identities and network.

9. Globalization is the process of interaction
and integration between people, business
entities, governments, and cultures from
other nations, driven by international trade
and investment and supported by
information technology (Levin Institute,
2017).

10. What is multicultural literacy?

11. Taylor and Hoechsmen (2011) shared that
multicultural literacy is defined through the
idea of an inclusive and diverse education
system where students of all cultural
backgrounds are provided with the respect
and recognition they deserve in the classroom.
It is through this literacy that we must foster
certain pedagogies concerning both social
justice and social difference in the classroom.

12. Boutte (2008) discussed how by
fostering both critical thinking and
culturally sensitive pedagogies to bring
explicit attention to society-related
cultural issues, in hope to positively
impact diverse learners in the classroom
through giving recognition to the barriers
they may face through educational
institutions.

13. O’Byrne and Smith (2015) stated how
through the use of multicultural literacy,
culturally marginalized students feel
more respected and comfortable in the
classroom as they genuinely feel their
needs are being met and their voices are
being heard.

14. Banks and Stark (2003) stated that
although literacy is essential that all
students acquire the basic literacy
and computational skills, this is not
enough. Students should also acquire
the skills, attitudes and commitments
to be reflective, moral and active
citizens in a troubled global world.

15. We define multicultural literacy as the
knowledge and skills necessary to ensure
that any communication with a culture
different from our own is clear, productive,
and respectful such that their differences
are celebrated and neither culture is
demeaned or treated as inferior.

17. Social Literacy
concerns itself with the development of social
skills, knowledge and positive human values
that enable human beings to act positively and
responsibly in range of complex social settings.
It is the knowledge of how to behave and treat
other people in a way that is morally upright,
just and equitable, with a view of promoting
positive and productive relations that are free
from unfair prejudices, hate, and discrimination.

18. Social literacy deals with the
development of social skills, knowledge
and positive human values. In turn, these
factors fuel the desire and ability in
human beings to act positively and
responsibly in a range of complex, social
settings.

20. Media Literacy
is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and
communicate messages in a wide variety of
forms (Aufderheide, 1993). While Christ and
Potter (1998) define it as “the ability to access,
analyze, evaluate and create messages
across a variety of contexts.”

21. Perhaps in its simplest sense, media
literacy can thus be defined as “the ability
to identify different types of media and
understand the messages they are
communicating” (Common Sense Media,
n.d.).

23. The National Endowment for Financial Education
defines financial literacy as “the ability to read,
analyze, manage, and communicate about the
personal financial conditions that affect material
well-being. It includes the ability to discern financial
choices, discuss money and financial issues
without (or despite) discomfort, plan for the future,
and respond competently to life events that affect
every day financial decisions, including events in
the general economy” (Incharge Education
Foundation,2017).

24. To put it simply, it is “the ability to use
knowledge and skills to manage one’s
financial resources effectively for lifetime
financial security” (Mandell, 2009).

26. Cyber/Digital Literacy
is defined as the ability to locate,
evaluate, create and communicate
information on various digital platforms.
Put more broadly, it is the technical,
cognitive, and sociological skills needed
to perform tasks and solve problems in
digital environments (EshetAlkalai,2004).

27. Digital literacy (or cyber literacy) is an
umbrella term for the ability to use computer
and digital technologies effectively. Contrary
to popular belief, being digitally literate isn't
tied to your age or job. Instead, it's all about
the skills you need to develop,
communicate, and thrive in the digital era.

29. Eco-literacy (Ecological Literacy)
refers to an individual’s understanding not only in
ecological concepts, but also of his or her place in the
ecosystem (Meena & Alison, 2009). The term
ecological literacy was first introduced by David Orr in
1989 in his essay “Ecological Literacy.” He indicated
that knowing, caring, and practical competence form
the foundation for ecological literacy. He pointed out
that the root of environmental crisis is the individual’s
inability to think about “ecological patterns, systems of
causation, and long-term effects of human actions”
(Orr, 1994).

30. Thus, he emphasized the importance of
experience in one’s natural environment that
can enable humans to shift perspective from
one of an economic emphasis to one of
balance amongst economics, ecology, and
cultures.

32. Arts and Creativity Literacy
is defined in the National Coalition for Core Arts
Standards: a Conceptual Framework for Arts Learning
(2014) as the knowledge and understanding required to
participate authentically in the arts. While individuals can
learn about dance, media, music, theater, and visual arts
through reading, print texts, artistic literacy requires that
they engage in artistic creation processes directly
through the use of materials (e.g., charcoal or paint or
clay, musical instruments or scores) and in specific
spaces (e.g., concert halls, stages, dance rehearsal
spaces, arts studios, and computer labs).
