Bài đọc 1: Youth and Globalisation
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 1 to 10.
Globalisation has become a pervasive force shaping the trajectories of contemporary youth. Its influence extends beyond economic integration to encompass cultural exchange, education, and identity formation, compelling young people to navigate increasingly complex social landscapes. In many ways, it has redefined how young individuals perceive opportunities, relationships, and their roles within a rapidly evolving global society.
One of the most noticeable impacts of globalisation is the proliferation of transnational educational and professional opportunities. Students now engage with international curricula, virtual learning environments, and cross-border collaborations, often interacting with peers and educators from diverse cultural backgrounds.[I]While such exposure enhances cognitive flexibility and employability, it simultaneously intensifies competition, necessitating continuous skill acquisition and adaptability. As a result, young people are increasingly expected to demonstrate not only academic excellence but also intercultural competence and digital literacy.
Globalisation also exerts a profound influence on cultural identity. The prevalence of global media and digital platforms facilitates the diffusion of dominant cultural norms, often at the expense of indigenous traditions.[II]This dynamic engenders a tension between assimilation and preservation, leaving many young individuals grappling with fragmented or hybrid identities.
Notwithstanding these challenges, globalisation enables youth to participate actively in addressing global concerns. Through digital networks, they mobilise support for issues such as climate change, social justice, and educational equality. Many young people engage in online campaigns, international forums, and collaborative initiatives aimed at fostering positive change.[III]Such engagement not only amplifies their voices but also redefines their roles as agents of change within a globalised society.
In conclusion, globalisation presents a dual-edged phenomenon for modern youth. While it opens doors to unprecedented opportunities, it also introduces complexities that require careful navigation.[IV]Their capacity to critically engage with global influences will ultimately determine whether they are empowered or marginalised within this evolving landscape. Therefore, fostering adaptability, critical thinking, and cultural awareness remains essential for young people seeking to thrive in a globalised world.
