What makes an issue global? · The IO is not a comparison

Its significance extends widely, crosses national boundaries, and affects everyday life in local settings. Choose a specific issue you can explore through authorial choices in your texts.

The IO is not a comparative task. Explore how each text presents the same issue, giving both balanced attention; you do not need a compare-and-contrast argument.
