Globalization: The Changing Views Of American College Students (2007 2010)

Abstract

The attitudes of college students toward globalization and outsourcing are an important indicator of future leaders positions. Surveys conducted over the last four years provide an insight into the current situation and changes in attitudes over time. Today, there is a great deal (over 50%) of concern among college students about the positive value of globalization and support for laws to outlaw outsourcing. This is a reflection of the current economic situation and might change. With a large (82%) percentage of students still believing that the U.S. should embrace globalization, the future situation is yet to be determined.
