My search for other meanings of the term gives credence to my belief that globalization consists of systems and operating processes that aim to ultimately be interrelated with global protocols on a continuously growing exchange of transactions among diverse countries and regions (Marzui, 2001, 1). As a process, globalization is more prominent in today’s generation due to technological advances that provided the impetus for improved intercultural interaction traversing borders, distance, and time.
The United States (US) continues to provide direction and significant influence to other countries in terms of applications of globalization. As the world’s most developed industrialized nation, the US has continued to support democratic ideals in terms of foreign trade, intercultural communication, preservation of the environment, adherence to ethical and moral standards, as well as promotion of human rights: all critical elements for sustained globalization efforts.
With more literature and studies being conducted on globalization, a more dynamic and holistic approach has been employed by a wide range of organizations and industries in the U.S. to attest to the growing importance of globalization’s effect and influence on the economies of other nations. As more benefits have been uncovered through actual organizational experiences of global organizations as host companies in the US, the role as a proactive contributor to the creation of employment, the generation of revenues, the enhancement of fair competition, the incorporation of diversity in culture, and the exchange of talents, products, and services, is entrenched. It could be appropriately acknowledged that the US has been a leader in the promotion, dissemination, and application of globalization efforts.
Enrollment in the CIS program of the University of Tampa has been rewarding in terms of realizing one’s dream to be more competent and knowledgeable in diverse cultural orientations through enhanced learning in foreign languages, art history, and intercultural interactions with colleagues and mentors. As more contemporary organizations join the globalized bandwagon, their acquisition and screening requirements would immediately recognize that students who were immersed in courses and programs with global knowledge courses are more competent and qualified to practice and apply holistic and dynamic skills through diverse cultures and languages. I am confident that experience is a plus factor over constituents of the same academic background but who lack the basic theoretical courses and who have acquired insufficient orientation on global perspectives. I am truly blessed to have been accorded the privilege to expand and widen personal awareness in global skills and knowledge through gaining additional competencies in foreign languages, culture, and arts; and through the development of a multidisciplinary approach towards learning concepts and applications pertinent to globalization and international studies.
