2. Your thorough
definition of what it
means to think
globally.
Taking a global view means being open to other
perspectives, without judging them. Being able to see
that there are other ways to do even everyday things
that you cannot simply design based on your own
experience. Cultural sensitivity to other ways of
thinking and different ways of believing.

3. One song that
represents your
definition
Planet Earth by Michael Jackson
- “Do you care, have you a heart” This shows me
the meaning of how we should think globally.
- “I’ve licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet” This is
saying how every culture and belief is different.
- “Planet Earth, my home, my place” We should
respect all cultures and beliefs because in the
end were all humans living on a rock.
