1. the class will discuss McPhail, Chapter 13 “Towards Globalization” and take a closer at media in Asia. Do
some research about media in Asia. How has Asian media influenced global media exchanges in recent
years? Are American media companies doing things differently with their media productions due to such “Asian
influence”? Share a specific example (preferably with links) about a media product/phenomenon that
successfully made its way across the continents and influenced American media productions on some level.
2. the class will discuss McPhail, Chapter 12 “Arab Media and the Al Jazeera…” and take a closer at media in
the Arab world. Do some research about the Arab media. What is its impact in the U.S.? What role does the
U.S. media play in educating regular Americans about the Arab world? From a public diplomacy perspective,
how has the American (un)successfully bridged cultural/political differences between the two worlds? Share a
specific example (preferably with links).
The post Towards Globalization first appeared on COMPLIANT PAPERS.
