What is Globalization?
According to Joseph E. Stiglitz (2002), globalization is the closer integration of the countries and people of the world brought about by the enormous reduction of costs of transportation and communication, and the breaking down of artificial barriers to the flows of goods, services, capital, knowledge, and people across borders.

Held, et al. (1999) defined that globalization captures elements of a widespread perception that there is a broadening, deepening and speeding up of world-wide interconnectedness in all aspects of life, from the cultural to the political, the financial to the environmental.

Cole (2018) shared that according to sociologists, globalization is an ongoing process that involves interconnectedness changes in the economic, cultural, social and political spheres of society.
Beck (2000), defined globalization as a process through which transnational actors undermine sovereign national states with varying prospect if power, direction, identities and network.

Globalization is the process of interaction and integration between people, business entities, governments, and cultures from other nations, driven by international trade and investment and supported by information technology (Levin Institute, 2017).

What is multicultural literacy?
Taylor and Hoechsmen (2011) shared that multicultural literacy is defined through the idea of an inclusive and diverse education system where students of all cultural backgrounds are provided with the respect and recognition they deserve in the classroom. It is through this literacy that we must foster certain pedagogies concerning both social justice and social difference in the classroom.

Boutte (2008) discussed how by fostering both critical thinking and culturally sensitive pedagogies to bring explicit attention to society-related cultural issues, in hope to positively impact diverse learners in the classroom through giving recognition to the barriers they may face through educational institutions.
O’Byrne and Smith (2015) stated how through the use of multicultural literacy, culturally marginalized students feel more respected and comfortable in the classroom as they genuinely feel their needs are being met and their voices are being heard.
Banks and Stark (2003) stated that although literacy is essential that all students acquire the basic literacy and computational skills, this is not enough. Students should also acquire the skills, attitudes and commitments to be reflective, moral and active citizens in a troubled global world.
We define multicultural literacy as the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure that any communication with a culture different from our own is clear, productive, and respectful such that their differences are celebrated

10. Taylor and Hoechsmen (2011) shared that multicultural literacy is defined through the idea of an inclusive and diverse education system where students of all cultural backgrounds are provided with the respect and recognition they deserve in the classroom. It is through this literacy that we must foster certain pedagogies concerning both social justice and social difference in the classroom.

11. Boutte (2008) discussed how by fostering both critical thinking and culturally sensitive pedagogies to bring explicit attention to society-related cultural issues, in hope to positively impact diverse learners in the classroom through giving recognition to the barriers they may face through educational institutions.

13. Banks and Stark (2003) stated that although literacy is essential that all students acquire the basic literacy and computational skills, this is not enough. Students should also acquire the skills, attitudes and commitments to be reflective, moral and active citizens in a troubled global world.

14. We define multicultural literacy as the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure that any communication with a culture different from our own is clear, productive, and respectful such that their differences are celebrated and neither culture is demeaned or treated as inferior.

15. Social Literacy concerns itself with the development of social skills, knowledge and positive human values that enable human beings to act positively and responsibly in range of complex social settings. It is the knowledge of how to behave and treat other people in a way that is morally upright, just and equitable, with a view of promoting positive and productive relations that are free from unfair prejudices, hate, and discrimination.

16. Social literacy deals with the development of social skills, knowledge and positive human values. In turn, these factors fuel the desire and ability in human beings to act positively and responsibly in a range of complex, social settings.

17. Media Literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and communicate messages in a wide variety of forms ( Aufderheide , 1993). While Christ and Potter (1998) define it as “the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create messages across a variety of contexts.”

18. Perhaps in its simplest sense, media literacy can thus be defined as “the ability to identify different types of media and understand the messages they are communicating” (Common Sense Media, n.d.).

19. The National Endowment for Financial Education defines financial literacy as “the ability to read, analyze, manage, and communicate about the personal financial conditions that affect material well-being. It includes the ability to discern financial choices, discuss money and financial issues without (or despite) discomfort, plan for the future, and respond competently to life events that affect every day financial decisions, including events in the general economy” ( Incharge Education Foundation,2017).

20. To put it simply, it is “the ability to use knowledge and skills to manage one’s financial resources effectively for lifetime financial security” (Mandell, 2009).

21. Cyber/Digital Literacy is defined as the ability to locate, evaluate, create and communicate information on various digital platforms. Put more broadly, it is the technical, cognitive, and sociological skills needed to perform tasks and solve problems in digital environments (EshetAlkalai,2004).

22. Digital literacy (or cyber literacy) is an umbrella term for the ability to use computer and digital technologies effectively. Contrary to popular belief, being digitally literate isn't tied to your age or job. Instead, it's all about the skills you need to develop, communicate, and thrive in the digital era.

23. Eco-literacy (Ecological Literacy) refers to an individual’s understanding not only in ecological concepts, but also of his or her place in the ecosystem (Meena & Alison, 2009). The term ecological literacy was first introduced by David Orr in 1989 in his essay “Ecological Literacy.” He indicated that knowing, caring, and practical competence form the foundation for ecological literacy. He pointed out that the root of environmental crisis is the individual’s inability to think about “ecological patterns, systems of causation, and long-term effects of human actions” (Orr, 1994).

24. Thus, he emphasized the importance of experience in one’s natural environment that can enable humans to shift perspective from one of an economic emphasis to one of balance amongst economics, ecology, and cultures.

25. Arts and Creativity Literacy is defined in the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards: a Conceptual Framework for Arts Learning (2014) as the knowledge and understanding required to participate authentically in the arts. While individuals can learn about dance, media, music, theater, and visual arts through reading, print texts, artistic literacy requires that they engage in artistic creation processes directly through the use of materials (e.g., charcoal or paint or clay, musical instruments or scores) and in specific spaces (e.g., concert halls, stages, dance rehearsal spaces, arts studios, and computer labs).
