Globalisation: taking it further
Media Magazine: Globalisation case study
1.) Google Glass was controversial due to the fact that it invaded and violated people's privacy in a sense, given that the tech is able to take pictures and videos, anywhere, anytime, as long as you're equipped with it, and this level of accessibility threatened people.
2.) As the article states, globalisation has helped people to Google everything that they'd need to know, as with the umbrella term "I'll Google it" or in other words to look it up online. As a result, globalisation has given users the benefit to rightfully consume and acknowledge any information that is posted on the world wide web.
3.) Globalisation may come to a negative effect, given that for example a pioneering and leading company may dominate a specific market, leaving no opportunity and a gap in the market for their competitors. Examples include Microsoft for example in the computer market.
4.) Techno-panic defines by which the development of technology causes a moral panic and mass hysteria to the audience, which is similar to the definition of a moral panic, except techno-panic is influenced by specifically technology, while a moral panic is a universal and general definition of the situation.
5.) If major corporations have access to people's personal data on a large quantity, subjectively judging whether it is wrong or right depends more on whether the data is being held with or without the subject's consent, and also depends on the type of data they are holding. Other factors also constitute this judgement on areas such as privacy and how they are going to use this data. However, I think looking at this from a plain lens would obviously come to an agreement that it is a violation of privacy when big cooperations have access to personal data without consent.
Media Factsheet: Globalisation and capitalism
1.) The phrase 'a global village' originated when theorist Marshall McLuhan used it to describe that the world that has been “shrunk” by modern advances in communications.
2.) Slavoj Zizek argues that while globalisation of capitalism helps developing countries on a financial level, this may effectively blind people from other issues at hand such as the gap between a very poor country and a very rich country, so there isn't a resolution being meet where there is equality. This is perhaps a link to a Marxist point of view, where the belief is that there is a social class of elites who depict the outcome of a less social class, less monetary value state, and is put under full control by them.
3.) The term 'capitalism with a conscience' as Zizek describes, the article writes "He argues that the media reinforces and naturalises
the ideology that making money is the right way of conducting
businesses, but at the same time allows people to feel less guilty
about how these goods are produced."
4.) As their official websites states, (RED) has a simple mission,
to make it easy for people and businesses to join the fight against the deadly virus called AIDS. Descriptions of the virus, such statistics such as death victim to 35 million people since 1981 have been presented on their website.
5.) It is very hard to put a definitive judgement on whether RED campaign is just purely profit-driven or for ethical reasons, but based purely on the media facsheet article's insight, it seems that RED 'has spent more on its advertising than it has donated to AIDS charities and there has been a backlash about the lack of progress that the campaign has made.'
