2. Our task There is a responsibility for health care educators to create an environment that nurtures the development of a global perspective and awareness of oneself in relationship with the world and with others (Leuning, 2001). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p86BPM1GV 8M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p86BPM1GV 8M

3. Thesis – Globalization, Health and You Health matters because everything else (money, politics, sex, religion, human rights, culture, arts, music etc.) is insignificant unless one lives. Globalization matters because everybody (including you!) increasingly relates to one another in a single system that affects every determinant of health.

8. Globalization Is it good or bad? What has it got to do with health? What should be done with it/about it? Be aware when things are out of balance. When rich speculators prosper while farmers lose their land; when government officials spend money on weapons instead of cures; when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible while the poor have nowhere to turn, all this is robbery and chaos. (from the Tao Te Ching, circa 500 BC)
