...they live. Lasswell also defines politics as the process of who gets what, when, and how. He believes that politics is the process of allocating scarce values. He comes up with this equation; politics = allocation values (resources) wealth status power. By definition ‘new media’ according to Marshall McLuhan (1980) generally refers to the digital media which is interactive, incorporate two- way communication and involve some form of computing as opposed to ‘old media’ such as telephone, radio and TV. However there is a thin line between ‘old media’ and ‘new media’. This is because the ‘old media are getting digitized and some have consolidated with some ‘new media’ forms. Therefore we surround the term ‘new media’ with quotation marks to signify that they are digital interactive media. Without the quotation marks we generally are denoting media which is new to the context of discussion. To illustrate this, TV at is invent was new media and therefore cannot be said to be ‘new media’. Also parts of the world that have not received certain types of media will call them new media when introduced to them.

...integration of a country to a global level. In this current century, people’s views are no longer between “country and them” but in fact are more likely to be the “world and them”. Kenichi ohmae, writer of “The borderless World” once mention in his book that globalisation that created a borderless world among country (Ohmae 1999). While globalisation has positive, innovative, dynamic aspects, it also has negative, disruptive, marginalizing aspects (UNDP 1999). Over the past 30 years, globalisation had brought new dimensions to the traditional economic thinking around trading trade. The existing of globalisation causes impacts in economic, political and social in the 21st century. Globalisation had rise tremendously since the advance of technology, science, and transport. Industries are moving to different country every second just from the help of these advanced technologies. Countries had lowered their barriers for international trade and welcoming foreign investment and trade. Corporation now have the flexibility of operate across borders and thus increase foreign investment in other country. Foreign investment will increase economic growth in many developing countries. A research done by African Economic Research Consortium for Nigeria proves that foreign direct investment positively affects their economic growth and needs to be encouraged (African economic research consortium 2007). China is the top ranked destination for foreign investors since year 2002 (Kearney 2010). They had...

...Greece, created the first democracy in the world. A democracy is a government that allows all people to make decisions. Athens created the first democracy between the 5th and 4th century bce (bc) Before Athens, other civilizations did not create a democracy or a type of government that was similar to a democracy. This made it hard for Athens to create the first democracy because they did not know what they needed to do to create a democracy. According to the article that is titled The Making and Unmaking of Democracy, “The democratic Athenians had no historical model of democracy from which they might hope to learn”. This proves that Athens did create the first democracy and that they did not know what...

...How did Americans justify their overseas expansion at the end of the nineteenth century, and how did the people in the conquered territories view the United States’ actions? Towards the end of the nineteenth century, America had begun to develop at a rather substantial rate. The aftermath of the Civil War was followed by a developing economy, advances in technology and transportation, and territory expansion that would eventually lead to conflict with other nations. In the pursuit to become a global superpower, the United States had conquered the overseas nations of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines by the end of the nineteenth century. This expansion by the United States was fueled by a promotion of democracy, but came off as an arrogant struggle for power to the conquered territories. The United States seized an opportunity in the conquering of overseas territories, as the civilians of those territories criticized America’s notion for self-governed nations and doubted the influence of American imperialism. (Aguinaldo, 69) With the result of the Spanish-American War ending up in favor of the United States, the acquisition of an overseas empire was a new concept to the American government. A clear motive for conquering overseas territories is to promote democracy. However, it could definitely be argued that acquiring, for instance, the territory of the Philippines was seen as a business opportunity. At the time of these overseas acquisitions, President McKinley was unsure...

...humans and it is in our nature and interest to want the best for ourselves. Humans are greedy and self absorbed. National leaders want to try to maximise national welfare or develop eventual benefits in a system where there are a growing number of states that want to increase control on an international scale, as well as to uphold their own interests. So that when it comes to decision-making, lawmakers are able to take advantage of this knowledge in order to make more effective policy decisions. The aim of the text is to establish the idea that decision making made by national bureaucracies, leaders and individual members of the government body has the capability to influence and impact decision making upon other international decision making systems. Sometimes, decisions are made for the best although it does cause misunderstandings and inconveniences. It is important to understand and accept the cultural and historical reasons of another state as to why they decide to make particular decisions. These decisions can draw meanings and can be used to make sense of other foreign policy decisions. In order to gain this understanding as to why certain nation behave in way or why certain foreign policy decisions are made, all levels and perspectives must be taking into consideration and analysed – individual, state and international. Each of these levels all has a relationship; they are not separate. For us to make sense of one entity, we must understand the...

...why so many academics try to search for causes, of how mankind has destroyed the environment so drastically in such a short amount of time. In the article “The Cultural Basis for Our Environmental Crisis”, author Lewis W. Moncrief presents a compelling counter argument to author Lynn White, Jr. article “The Historical Roots of Our Ecologic Crisis”. White’s claim: States Judeo-Christian traditions and technology are the sole cause for the environmental degradation that our world is currently facing. Moncrief’s claim: states Judeo-Christian traditions and technology are factors in the equation, but are not the only factors. Moncrief believes that democratization and capitalism are far greater pieces to the equation than just religion and technology. Religion and technology have vastly shaped our past and present society, but democratization and capitalism are greater factors to man’s exploitation of the earth resources and the environmental degradation. Throughout White’s essay he presents an argument stating that religion; specifically the Western Judeo-Christianity traditions and technology are the sole factors for the depletion of the earth resources and our domination mindset over the earth. White argument is broke down in several sections with the first stating: “All forms of life modify their contexts” (White, 1203). White used the description of a sea creature, the coral polyp. This sea organism has a significant impact on its natural environment. Another notable example...

...International Conference on Communication, Media, Technology and Design ICCMTD 09-11 May 2012 Istanbul - Turkey “THE SOCIAL MEDIA AS A PUBLIC SPHERE: THE RISE OF SOCIAL OPPOSITION” Asst. Prof. Dr. A. Fulya ŞEN Fırat Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi - Gazetecilik Bölümü - Elazığ Abstract In The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere, Habermas described the bourgeois public spheres of the 18th and 19th century in England, France, and Germany. These spheres arose as arenas of cultural critique often arising from reading societies that focused on novels and the like. Cultural critique became political critique as these groups turned to issues of public concern fighting policies of censorship and for freedom of opinion. The public sphere is in the work of Jürgen Habermas conceived as a neutral social space for critical debate among private persons who gather to discuss matters of common concern in a free and rational way. This public sphere is open and accessed for public. Habermas pointed out that media has contributed to the decay of the rational-critical discourse and causing the decline of the public sphere. Political public spheres include social movements, media that monitor and criticize the state, and groups that take political action. In recent times have seen an explosion of debate, blogging, theorising and hype around the role of the internet in today’s social movements. Social media -internet applications such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube which facilitate...

...In the past, society had a tremendous impact on the way people treated others. Discrimination and racism soon became major factors in many people’s lives because of the media. Previously, spreading news was not as easy as it is today, but slowly, it soon became ‘normal’ to discriminate against people that did not look like the majority. With the constant increase in new technology and social media platforms, it has become much easier for people to speak out about the material that most interests them. In Malcolm Gladwell’s essay titled “Small Change: Why the Revolution Will Not Be Tweeted”, he discusses how the development of technology in today’s society does not positively impact the most important social issues. Many can disagree with this though, because with advancements in technology, the public has easier access to learn about the latest social issues, people are able to connect and learn from others through the internet and finally, it brings people who believe in the same values together....

...Theorists in the Enlightenment era such as Hobbes and Locke began to apply concepts of reason to all functions of society. Politics and the role of government had a major impact on theorists like Hobbes and Locke. In this paper, I will focus on what is the difference between Hobbes and Locke in regards to the role of government? And why are their theories important to today’s government? To respond, I will be arguing that Hobbes and Locke have two completely different views on how governments should be run; Hobbes focuses on authoritarian regime and Locke’ main idea is there should be a civil society. To answer the latter, I will analyze Hobbes’s theory of government with today’s government and I will also analyze Locke’s Theory of government with today’s government. Thomas Hobbes believed in a form of government in which people were controlled by an absolute ruler (Leviathan). For Hobbes, he believed that all human beings were naturally selfish and cruel; he believed that the State of Nature is short, poor and disorderly (Lecture). People in the State of Nature pursue their self-interests (material gain and personal safety), and this will lead to human beings to make enemies and create conflict (Lecture). Therefore, without government there will be no control over humans and life would be disorganised. In his eyes, a ruler is necessary for a state to thrive and flourish, without a leader, society would be chaotic (Leviathan). In this type of government, people would need to...

...cultural exchange, technological progress and cross-national cooperation—are not new but are phenomena that can be traced back to our earliest civilizations. So, is globalization just a myth or a euphemism for the deregulation mantra under the supremacy of Anglo-American capitalism and for an economization of areas previously unrelated to the pressure of competitiveness, the market principle, and the price mechanism? Are the current trade patterns truly global, when 80 percent of trade is conducted within the “triad” of western Europe, North America, and the Pacific Rim, which together make up only 20 percent of the world’s population? Contrary to these arguments, we believe that globalization is as new a phenomenon as the term itself and that it does merit the attention it now receives in scholarly, political, and managerial debates. It is less a question of some new occurrences but is more so one that transgresses thresholds Markus Pudelko is a senior lecturer in international business at the University of Edinburgh Management School, 50 George Square, Edinburgh EH8 9JY, UK (tel.: +44 (0) 131 651 1491; fax: + 44 (0) 131 668 3053; e-mail: markus.pudelko@ed.ac.uk).
