- Role of technology
- Communities
- Internet communities like Youtube, bring people together
- Communities are shifting spheres, from reality to virtual
- Music
- There has been a rise in western music in Asian countries, K-pop, J-Rock and Japanese Hip-hop
- It incorporates both languages within the music, their image is the same as western rappers, with the same branded clothes
- The Internet Bride
- Studied by Ford and the rise in internet brides in Russia and South America
- The women were not unhappy but instead were honored to help their families through remittance
- Globalisation
- Western economic dominance
- Economic gain through global markets, organs (Scheper-Hughes), internet brides, human trafficking
- Scapes, used to understand globalization as economic, cultural and technological drive
- Globalisation used to be mainly western ideas onto others, but now it is
- Globalisation leads to de-territorralisation, an enveloping of local culture by global culture (Deluze)
- Globalisation makes the world look the same. But ut also makes us want to differentiate from others 0 it plays towards both arguments of homogenisation and individuality
- Western economic dominance
- Communities
