How have they evolved?
● Cultural Homogenization: While it has increased access to diverse content, globalization has also
led to concerns about cultural homogenization, as Western media and values often dominate,
potentially erasing local cultures and traditions.
● Media Consolidation: Large multinational corporations have gained control over many media
outlets, reducing diversity of voices and perspectives in the media landscape.
● Digital Transformation: The internet and digital technologies have revolutionized the media
industry, enabling rapid dissemination of news and content, as well as citizen journalism.
Key Impacts:
● Global News Networks: The rise of global news networks like CNN, BBC, and Al Jazeera has
increased the reach of news stories, making them accessible worldwide.
● Censorship and Control: Some countries have increased censorship and control over media to
maintain their influence or restrict certain information from reaching their citizens.
● Erosion of Local Media: Globalization has led to the decline of local media outlets, as they struggle
to compete with larger, international media organizations.
● Cultural Exchange: It has also encouraged cultural exchange through entertainment, films, and
television programs, introducing audiences to different lifestyles and perspectives.
Key Impacts:
● Social Media and Citizen Journalism: Social media platforms have empowered individuals to
become content creators and share news and information, challenging traditional media outlets.
● Language and Translation: The need for translation services has increased to bridge language
barriers, making content accessible to broader audiences.
Mass Media
Mass media is ubiquitous. Mass media is defined as technology that allows
information to spread and communicated to large groups of people. Early forms
of mass media include newspapers which can be mass-produced with a printing
press. purpose of mass media is to offer quick exchange and transmission of
information to a large group of people.
Functions of media mass media allows people to feel connected to what is
happening locally, nationally, and even internationally.
The Four Functions of Mass Media
● includes the actions of surveying, watching, observing,
scrutinizing, collecting evidence, and reviewing. The
nightly news is an example of surveillance, as camera
Surveillance crews and reporters survey areas and collect
information for news stories that are considered
important for an audience to watch.
The term global village has been used to express the idea that
people throughout the world are interconnected through the use
of new media technologies. The term was coined in the early 1960s
by Canadian media theorist Marshall McLuhan, who was writing
about the newer technologies of his day, such as radio and
television.
The Web nowadays is sometimes regarded as the media that most
intimately connects people across the world, enabling anybody
with an Internet connection to learn what's happening around the
globe with the click of a mouse and to engage with people and
groups in distant locations.
McLuhan believed new media were
profoundly changing the way people
perceived the world, but he was not
sure whether the new “global village”
would have positive or negative
consequences for society. He died in
1980 and was honored by the Canadian
government with this postage stamp in
2000.
One easy example of the global village concept is the
“INTERNET”. Having the internet on phones and access to
free internet at libraries and cafes, people are easily able to
connect via social media or email to people around the
world.
REPORTER: ALFORQUE, DARYL DAVE F.
In anthropology, sociology, and ethics, cultural imperialism is the
imposing of certain parts of one group's culture on another
community that is not politically or economically powerful. It is
cultural in that the norms of the imposing group's social and moral
behavior are unique from those of the other community, even
though they are frequently intertwined with it in important ways. It
is a sort of imperialism in that the dominant society subjugates the
under populated population by either eradicating or substituting
elements of the under populated group's culture.
One of the main tools of colonization was cultural imperialism.
While some form of military involvement nearly always served as
the catalyst for colonialism, cultural imperialism was ultimately
responsible for its full ramifications. Colonizers imposed many
facets of their own culture on the target people through
legislation, education, and/or military force because they believed
their way of life to be superior. While colonizers were partly
motivated by a desire to rid local populations of purportedly
barbaric, uncivilized habits and mores, they also understood that
the best method to reduce opposition from the colonized was to
completely destroy any evidence of their previous way of life.
The Spanish impact in Latin America, which began with Hernán
Cortés' conquest of the Aztec empire in the early 16th century, is
one of the most obvious examples of the forced acculturation of a
colonial population. The Spanish repressed Mesoamerican culture
after establishing their physical presence in the area. They forbade
the Indians from learning and passing on their culture while also
forcing them to read and write Spanish and accept Christianity.
There are also instances of this type of behavior outside of Spain,
such as the British influence in India, the Dutch influence in the
East Indies, and the French influence in Africa.
In the 20th century, cultural imperialism was no longer associated
with military intervention but with the exercise of economic and
political influence by a few powerful countries over less powerful
countries. Many observers viewed the Soviet Union's vigorous
efforts to impose communism on other countries as a form of
cultural imperialism. Charges of cultural imperialism have been
leveled in the United States by critics who argue that imperial
cultural control is sought economically by creating demand for
goods and services. American services in other parts of the world
through aggressive marketing. This "Americanization" of other
cultures is said to occur when the mass export of American films,
music, clothing, and food to other countries threatens to displace
local products. Methods and change or eliminate certain features
of traditional lifestyles. Some countries have tried to combat this
cultural threat through various legal actions, for example by
banning the sale of certain products.
Social media refers to a variety of technologies that facilitate the
sharing of ideas and information among their users. From
Facebook and Instagram to X platform (formerly Twitter) and
YouTube, more than 4.7 billion people use social media, equal to
roughly 60% of the world's population. In early 2023, 94.8% of
users accessed chat and messaging apps and websites, followed
closely by social platforms, with 94.6% of users.
Social media started as a way for people to interact with friends
and family, but quickly expanded to serve a variety of purposes. In
2004, “My Space” was the first network to reach 1 million monthly
active users. Social media engagement exploded in the years that
followed with the entry of Facebook and Twitter (now Platform X).
Businesses have turned to these platforms to reach audiences
instantly on a global scale. According to the Global Web Index, 46%
of Internet users worldwide get their information through social
networks. This compares to 40% of users who read news on news
sites. Gen Z and Millennials are most likely to consume. Social
media plays an important role in many businesses' marketing
strategies, which is not surprising considering the number of hours
people spend on social sites and apps every day. At the same time,
social media is an ever-evolving field, with relatively new apps like
TikTok, Signal and Clubhouse joining the ranks of established social
networks like Facebook, YouTube, Platform X and Instagram.
Social networks also have negative sides. In the early 2000s, commentators
began talking about the emergence of a “fragmented internet (splinternet)”
and the phenomenon of “cyberbalkanization”. Internet fragmentation
(Splinternet), also known as Cyber-Balkanization, is a characteristic of the
Internet being divided and fragmented due to various factors, such as
technology, commerce, politics, nationalism, religion and various national
interests. For this reason, users cannot listen to or read opinions and
information that challenge their views. This segmentation has been used by
those in power, aware that social media bubbles can create a herd mentality.
This allows social media to be a democratic force likewise makes it a cheap tool
of government propaganda. Like for example, Russian dictator, Vladimir Putin
has hired armies of social media “trolls” to manipulate public opinions through
intimidation and the spreading of fake news. As these preceding cases show,
fake information can spread easily on social media since they have few content
filters. This dark side of social media shows that even a seemingly open
democratic media may be co-opted towards undemocratic means.
A lack of coordination and cooperation on cybersecurity between
countries can create “cybersecurity ghettos” or cyberslums and
compromise the security of the global cyber environment.
