How aware of the world around me am I? This is an interesting question to consider. I am aware of how globalized our lives are, and how dependent we have become on our technology. I am aware of the atrocities that occur around the world, and how large our ecological footprint is. I think that the real question is, how, and when, can I respond to the issues that I am aware of in the world today?
Also, I believe that in order for the people of the world to become serious about correcting some of the problems or issues that are scattered around the globe, we all need to be aware of the world to a certain extent. Organizations that promote gender equality, for example, would not be available to you if the people running it were not aware of the situations in developing countries, where womens' rights are still not equal to mens'.
As for the connection between globalization and awareness of issues such as the gender gap, I believe that it contributes greatly to the amount that people know today. Without globalization, we wouldn't know what was going on around the world, because we wouldn't be connected with those countries. We could be at the same point with gender equality as we were in the 1900's if not for continuing globalization, and how it contributes to awareness.
