  • Pros ANDcons. Cons can be from the same example (in fact, this often makes a stronger answer) Don’t: Kylie Jenner’s lip challenge is a positive example of globalisation because.... However fake news of the inauguration of Donald Trump is a negative example because.... Do: A facebook user in America live streamed their partner being shot and killed by a police officer as he reached for his drivers licence. The globalised nature of this live platform enabled a global audience to consume the text and share it instantly. This reinforced the black lives matter movement by highlighting the unjust treatment of the black community by authority figures in the US. This enables independent producers to highlight news of interest to minority groups that may not be reported by the established media. This makes audiences more aware and informed on topics they may not have been exposed to otherwise. However, the graphic and violent nature of the footage can cultivate desensitization in audiences. Young audiences have access to live platforms like facebook. Without clear regulation, this could arguably have a hypodermic needle effect on impressionable audiences. feedback

Don’t just say: ‘this is two step flow.’ Instead say: ‘This two step flow demonstrates how audiences can be impressionable. Opinion leaders like Katy Hopkins can greatly influence her Twitter followers, most of whom have an accepted reading of her tweets and newspaper column. This is evident in the hundreds of retweets and comments that she received in response....’

  Read through theexample paragraph New and digital media has seen the development of platforms such as Facebook Live. This enables audiences to produce and share content with a global audience. In 2016, a woman called Diamond Reynolds used it to broadcast her partners death as he was shot by Police. This demonstrates citizen journalism and appeals to audiences for cognitive reasons. New and digital media have contributed to the process of globalisation: the idea that the world is becoming increasingly interconnected through one global culture. Using your own case study, evaluate the impact that new and digital media have had on globalisation
