  • Essay / Identifying Globalization in Education

    On the question of whether or not globalization presents a new field of opportunities, I would like to begin by examining a text that I reviewed earlier in this essay entitled “A place for yourself”. own: schooling and the formation of identities in modern Nepal" by Stephen Carney and Ulla Ambrosius Madsen, as well as the text "Culture and consumer identities in Kathmandu: playing with your brain" by Mark Liechty. The first text presents the opportunity to move away from the historically constructed social classes, placement of individuals in the family and the development of their identity, through education and school activities in modern Nepal.

In this particular case, it empowers the “white man” and places the “non-white man” in a lower caste in global society. My central point of the pitfalls of the ethnographic tradition has been the possibility of separation from society in this particular research method.
