Overview
Read Chapter Six- entitled 'Globalization- Sport' and reflect upon this chapter with an initial posting of at least 200 words to be followed by a second posting of at least 50 words, which is a response to a classmate's posting. You must also find a news story (article or video) online that relates to this chapter (at least 75 words, please see details below). The total minimum word count for your post is 275 words (200 for your reflection on the chapter and 75 words for your article/video).
All of these discussion topics are open-ended. What you decide to write about is entirely up to you. In order to receive full points, it should be clear to me that you have read and understood the chapter. It is imperative that you make specific references to the material in the chapter. Here are some suggestions on how to compose your post:
Write about a specific part of the chapter and how this relates to a current event, why is this chapter included and what is its importance. How do you feel about this chapter, what are the implications? Do you have anything else to add to this chapter? If the chapter was particularly complicated, you could summarize the key points in your post.
You must also find a recent news story (article or video) online that relates to this chapter. You must provide a link to the article/video and write at least 75 words that briefly summarize the article/video and explain how it is related to this chapter of the online textbook. The article/video should be from a trustworthy site and must have been published in the last 2 months.
It is considered plagiarism to use any material that is not your own without citing where that material came from (this includes the use of AI and posts may be checked for AI-created content). This includes websites, blogs, online comments, and other outside material. It is OK to use outside material but you must cite when you do! The word count refers to the material you wrote only, it does not include quotes from other authors or citations. You do not need to cite the online textbook in this assignment. Please also note that quotations and citations do NOT count toward your word count.
