Title: Introduction: Challenge ONE -What makes us different from each other?
Course: Anglès 4t ESO 1r T > Section: Unit 1

1. Introduction:

After centuries of technological progress, the world is more connected than ever, it is globalized. So, today, people all over the planet share information in real-time thanks to the internet. Does globalization mean uniformity? Or are we still different from each other?

Our identity makes us unique and different from each other, but how do people really see us? Do you know what digital identity means? Do you know how to take care of it? Do you know the difference between private and public?
