THE pictures

This is a poster found in TJC, showing the mission of the United Nations, which is to keep and provide peace to people all around the world. Everyone has to be treated as equal, with equal rights and the United Nations aims to help people who are underprivileged or victims of inequality, allowing them to gain what they deserve. The different races and cultures within the United Nations themselves also shows the unity between countries, all ready to fight for peace and harmony in the world. Globalisation is shown in the communication and interaction between these different people of different countries.

This picture is taken from the library in TJC. The twelve people in the picture are all the members from the United Nations (UN). The United Nations is an international organization whose stated aims are to facilitate co-operation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress and human rights issues. The college put this picture in the library to allow students know more about the UN.

The American Corner in the TJC library shows yet another example of globalisation in our midst. Here there are books and videos kindly donated by the American Embassy to widen our fellow students' scope of reading and knowledge. Information and writing styles introduced by American authours which we are reading more and more is a form of globalisation not only in Singapore but in everywhere around the world. Books are exchanged and shipped intercontinentally and people from completely different backgrounds can read the ideas and fantasies of another in a completely different place and situation. Books, in our opinion, is one of the more powerful causes of rapid globalisation.

The TJC provides an outreach programme. It allows the students in the college have a chance to go overseas, which is Yunnan. The students can see what people’s lifestyle looks like in Yunnan and experience it. These pictures in the poster were taken by the students went to Yunnan. And they are shown in the college so that all the students can have a look.

The TJC overseas outreach programme, allows students from our college to extend their services and community projects outside Singapore etc. Yunnan. This provides a chance for students to experience the lifestyle in other overseas countries, as well as communicate with the locals. In turn, the locals can also interact with students from our college. This communication is a form of globalisation, where different people, belonging to different countries can share their experiences with each other, through different overseas programmes.

They are from Africa. Every day they suffer from the poverty and the hunger. We can not experience that but we should give a help to them. More pictures and information about their lives can help us to know more. That can make a link between us; we can make our effort to help those people we are not in the same region with. That is also anther form of globalization.

This new article talks about Singapore brands go global. This article is shown in the college because the college wants students know more about how Singapore and globalization are linked. This shows that the college also has seen globalization as an important issue.
