We all have a personal history of social studies, history, and geography, learning it in schools, applying it in society; regardless, a rethinking of how we approach this is necessary for the 21st century. What we do to ensure meaningful local to global civic education and engagement is vital today. Allowing for voice, critique, controversy, and debate are vital to enhancing sustained global civic engagement; thus a Global / International Education/ Internationalizing framing. This article discusses a personal journal and  analyzes the need to address local to global contexts in internationalizing, hopefully leading to critical consciousness and agency.

This essay explores the value and state of civics education in the United States and identifies five challenges facing those seeking to improve its quality and accessibility: 1) ensuring that the quality of civics education is high is not a state or federal priority; 2) social studies textbooks do not facilitate the development of needed civic skills; 3) upper-income students are better served by our schools than are lower-income individuals; 4) cutbacks in funds available to schools make implementing changes in civics education difficult; and 5) reform efforts are complicated by the fact that civics education has become a pawn in a polarized debate among partisans.

The Catholic Church

Alessandro Ferrari claims that Catholicism was the only cement binding the newly unified Italy together, a country without a common language or a widespread culture capable of founding civic engagement. Taking a post-secular perspective on religion, which recognizes that religion is not simply a ‘residue’ soon to be extinguished (as Raymond Williams once stated), this article will explore Italian cinema’s contemporary constructions of this national ‘religious cement’ as a putative foundation for identity in 21st century Italy. The article sets out too to show the cracks in the cement: collective identity can only be created by ignoring religious diversity and removing thorny issues from the history of the Catholic church.
