Technology in the form of the internet, television, and movies alter students’ perceptions of the world, their views of their own culture, and how they perceive themselves. Students also move from their home cultures to new places through migration, making it hard to adapt to new cultures while retaining their own unique sense of place and self. Global education helps students know who they are, where they came from, and how they can contribute to the global society.
