ACCOUNTING-Identify a global issue that affects your local culture and community

Create a Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation of approximately 12–15 slides using the West Presentation Template located in the course’s shared files.

Present the following information in your slides:

• Identify a global issue that affects your local culture and community in your geographical location (city or state). Consider selecting a global issue from the Weeks 1–6 course materials, or select another issue of interest.
• Suggested issues include the following: the increasing demand for oil in densely-populated countries; how forces of globalization are affecting world commerce; the challenges of waste disposal and its effect on natural habitats; the rapid spread of infectious diseases with increasing need for corporate world travel; worldwide social media’s effect on human rights and equality; and so on.

• Describe the issue on the local, national, and global scale. Stick to the facts to avoid bias.
• Analyze the challenges and opportunities this issue presents. Consider the following questions:
• What is your viewpoint on this issue? What are the opposing viewpoints? Do various cultures have different perspectives? Who takes what sides, and why?
• How does the issue affect you, your community, and your culture? How does the issue affect your local environment, institutions such as the public school system, your neighborhood, your job market, and so on?
• How does the issue affect individuals, cultures, and institutions on the global scale?
• How are the local institutions adapting to an increasingly global-centric outlook?

Support your ideas with a minimum of one culture database (such as CultureGrams™) and one article from the University Library. Incorporate a minimum of 4 terms or concepts from the course materials (textbook and videos).

Include only your main points on each slide: approximately 3 to 5 short bulleted phrases.

Write a few sentences of speaker notes under each slide to provide details you would discuss if presenting in person. This is where you will cite your sources, in addition to including them on a reference slide at the end of your PowerPoint®.
