Introduction One of you will write an essay and then do a short presentation (5-10+ minutes in english) in front of the class. It will be mostly based on one (or more) document(s) (a book, an article, a TV documentary, a movie, etc.). You are not supposed to read/watch it entirely: you can use summaries, reviews, etc. You should not cut & paste whole wikipedia pages but you can cut & paste up to 2-3 sentences. What are you going to do? - you will present the author (a short biography if needed) and his work ; - introduce the main thesis, explain the ideas and point out the connection with the Globalization process ; - expose some of the weak points of the work ; - show us a short extract of the document and explain it ; - answer some questions ;
