Recommended: Impact of immigration on culture

The world has become a global village due to fast developing technology.It has reduced or eliminated the boundaries as well, which in turn may have escalated cultural openness and co-operation. The quest for a better life has always enforced man to move from one place to another, often leaving his homeland. Such movements have turned into kinds of exile as dislocation from the homeland has always remained severe and painful. When the migration is voluntary,Face book, Whats App, Sky pe and other such means of communication serve a kind of closeness. But that remains in the realm of ideals for migrants and their descendants. Of course homesickness is lessened but issues like homelessness, settlement, identity, life style, etc. remain on the verge.

    ...ecause it depends so much on perspective and circumstances. Analyzing one’s social space as both a “community” and a “contact zone” can be detrimental to a previously established opinion or feeling one could have towards that space, making it uncomfortable. It is also true, that by thinking of your social space as a “community” and a “contact zone” help you learn a lot more about that space, and helps you mature as an individual. I support the idea of a “contact zone” because there is historical proof of it, but the historical proof for a “community is yet to be discovered. I propose to discuss a new phenomenon “contact zones” that seek to be a “community”.

    ...oment where we feel the most united and connected to our loved ones but at the same time we are far from them. Nonetheless, I believe this is a new form of organization with its advantages and disadvantages, but we decide if we assume it completely, assume only the best part of it, or if we resisted to it. Moreover, in our very busy lives we can recognize those others that suffer from the same system of oppression by social media and create new ways for resistance. Hence, social media by keeping everyone attentive can become our best instrument to generate critical thinking, discuss political action and start a revolution.

    2720 Words  | 6 Pages

    In today’s world migration is a social phenomenon that affects a variety of countries. Nations are either experiencing an influx of immigrants or have the problem of individuals exiting their country. This movement of people between nations gives rise to a multitude of problems. The issue that this paper will explore, using examples from around the world, is that of incorporation. How are immigrants incorporated into their new social and geographic setting? Is this a smooth process or are immigrants locked in a period of liminality (transition stage) where they are literally and figuratively neither here nor there? In addition, are there possible solutions that can better facilitate the incorporation of immigrants and the movement of people between nations?

  • The Impact Of Globalization In The Digital Age

    1425 Words  | 3 Pages

    For all intents and purposes, the digital age has had the effect of revolutionizing how we live work, and play (Davidson, 2011). In essence, as Davidson (2012) continues to assert, the digital age has presented possibilities where old habits can be unlearned so as to accommodate new habits that are consistent with the 21st century. Globalization is one of the central aspects that characterize the digital age, where countries are interconnected politically, economically, and socially. The focus of this paper is more or less concerned with the latter aspect of globalization, whereby world cultures interconnect on the global arena through international migration. No one sector has been greatly impacted by this phenomenon than the

  • Report: British Satellite Broadcasting Vs Sky Television

    1221 Words  | 3 Pages

    BSB should have been able to identify potential competitors, particularly News Corporation. News Corporation was successful in US (in the US TV satellite industry), had experience transmitting television programs to Western Europe with a low-powered satellite and they already had presence in the UK with newspapers, which could allowed Sky to realize economies of scope. These economies of scope are even more significant if we take into account that News Corporation owns 20th Century Fox Studios. After purchasing 69% interests in SATV and renaming it to Sky Channel, this was a clear signal of a potential competitor to BSB. Adding to this, other signal was Murdoch’s personality, characterized by being aggressive and used to risk and make big bets. After all, he had bid against BSB to the British DBS franchise and lost, and given his personality, it’s normal that he would not go away after the first round. News Corporation is a global company and UK is one of the wealthier nations in the world, with high potential advertising revenue, which would make Murdoch want to be the leading player.
