The resource booklet contains readings and activities for British secondary school world affairs classes. The material lends itself toward incorporation into various curricula, including history, geography, social studies, humanities, environmental studies, language and literature, home economics, math, and science. Subject matter focuses on interdependence of the modern world, bias and prejudice, causes of poverty, human rights, technology, world law, ecological balance, and patterns of world trade. An introduction explains that study of contemporary world society is vital to students' self-fulfillment and participation in social and political change. Section I presents 17 primary source readings about world society. Readings deal with European expansion and colonialism, injustice within and between South African countries, effects of poverty in India, and global goals of education in industrialized countries. Section II presents over 40 activities to use in classrooms or informal settings to help students understand how they relate to global issues. One activity requires students to identify every material commodity traded on the world market which is present in their own classroom. Raw materials comprising room fixtures, furniture, clothing, and food can be identified. Section III contains annotated lists of resources including handbooks, magazines, posters, photographs, films, slides, and books. Most are from British sources. (AV)
