QUESTION 2
Volunteering will no longer count towards your credit hours. We feel that many students have taken advantage of this system in order to pass courses without putting enough effort into them. We feel sorry that it has come to this, since we want the University and our students to form strong bonds with the community. We are sure that having volunteering count towards the credit hours motivated many students. But we are confident that even with this change we will find many of you who are able and ready to help those who are in need.

Question 3
Impact of Globalization on art
Globalization has had both positive and negative effects on art. Because of increased interconnectedness and global exchange of ideas, the art world has become more diverse , with artists from all over the world influencing each other's work. As a result, new styles, forms, and techniques have emerged that reflect a broader range of cultural perspectives. Globalization, on the other hand, has resulted in the commercialization and homogenization of art, with a few dominant players controlling the art market and promoting specific styles and artists over others.
