Sparked by technology such as the Internet, we have entered a new era of globalisation – a level of interconnection unprecedented in world history. One of the most important results of this new wave of globalisation is our heightened awareness of how the importance of human rights, the vast differences between rich and poor, the spread of disease and the use of the Earth’s resources affect us all.

The Global Issues for Students Series of 7 DVD resources provides in-depth analysis of current world problems. Programmes in this series focus on modern global issues, their historical roots and the exploration of varied viewpoints and solutions.

Using comprehensive news footage and commentary from some of the world’s leading experts, students will gain a greater understanding of the most important issues affecting the world today.

“…well-crafted…employs striking video footage from newsgathering resources as well as interviews with experts in each field to present the particular issue in an effective and interesting manner…A very worthwhile series for high school social studies and current events courses.“– School Library Journal

“This documentary series pulls no punches. Authoritative narration coupled with news footage and riveting still photography set the stage for student discussion and interest.“– Teacher Librarian

“Balanced examinations of the topics are appropriately presented for the intended audience…This is a very valuable series that covers a range of very difficult topics succinctly and thoroughly… Highly recommended.“– Library Media Connection
