This project was created by Taylor Powell for The Global Studies and World Languages Academy senior capstone class, Global Connections. In this capstone course, students are required to research a topic of their choosing, write a research paper, and coordinate some sort of action to promote awareness of their subject. The academy seeks to promote international awareness and involvement through the study of culture, history, government, business, economics, and language, among many other topics. The senior project is a way to evaluate how students have grown into globally conscious citizens through their four years of international studies.
