Anthony Giddens in his contribution to modern theory proposed that the modern world has changed since the nineteenth century. He noted the electronic media, fax machine, computer network are tools of governmental forces that integrate the world in new ways. Is this true?
It has integrated the world in new ways but negatively, especially for the developing countries. When you look at the media, the US dominates a large percentage of the world airwaves.
ReplyDeleteRamphall in the book 'Media, Sex, Violence, and Drugs in the Global Village' mentioned that 'the global media dominance spells trouble for global grassroots citizens who wish to use the media outlets (or build their own) for activism, advocacy, and movement of politics.'
