Communications 458 Global Media
Referring to the Arab Region, globalization is known to be the spread of ideas, customs, institutions, and attitudes originated in one part of the world and having expanded to another. Because much of this growth begins in the west, many perceive it as westernization, thus being a threat to the arabian society. Decades when globalization was at its highest was marked by renewed economic dependency, continuing insecurity, endless wars, and intrusive US hegemony. This made things tense, creating an anti-globalization attitude strengthening Islamic-Fundamentalism.
Individuals with conflicting or opposing views are now more easily able to participate in differing cultures and politics through global communication and media networks and are therefore more reaily able to circulate their struggles and opposing ideals through media. So, although globalization and better communication through media at first glance is a progressive step toward world peace and prosperity, the truth may be an actual different story.
