Global engagement is a topic that everybody in the world should be concerned with. It is based on the people who care not only about themselves but the people around the world. these people help in any way they can to provide and good and safe life for everybody. it also deals with sustainability, which is the reuse of special resources. A good example came in the movie I watched in the module. people need water in other countries and there were people who wanted to develop some way to help. That is called global engagement.
To me global engagement is a hard thing to get everybody in the world to do. Today, we have a lot of people who develop charities to help with starvation in the world. the main problem though is that people don't know how to recycle materials that they do not need. In the movie it gave an example of a country that was needing a water source because theirs was destroyed by pollution. if we all became socially and globally engaged, we could develop a way to give these poor human beings safe water to drink. It is messed up to see people waste things like food and water because somebody else would appreciate what was left. i truly believe that more peace would be brought out in the world if we all helped each other out in not just big ways, but ways that are helpful.
Being globally engaged requires not only yourself, but the people all around you. Like I said peace could be brought out if we used global engagement and a lot could be learned by what you start to learn and adapt to in each country. A good way to get involved is to participate in a Summer Abroad program, where you learn the customs and relations in other companies. This could also help you out with a business you choose to do world wide. You'll learn language and customs that will be used by everyone to earn money.

I really like your ideas, I believe a lot could be accomplished if more people became globally engaged. It is important to be concerned with the well-being of people outside of our community, nation, continent and so forth. One criticism, your blog was a little difficult to read because of the grammar errors.
you are right everyone has to contribute in order for us to be more globally engaged
the idea is to have everyone come together, to share ideas, criticisms, and ideologies. Utilizing technology, and a free spirit. It should be quite flattering, though no one admits it, that the enrite world is taking concepts from capitalism, the idea of movement, and competition, not red isolationism. The Chinese are taking concepts, and creating a new type of free market communism.
