The Role of New Media In A Globalized World

New Media make our lives more efficient by allowing us to stay connected with the rest of the world. Through various new "aps" we can view everything from weather forecasts to the latest news on the Middle East Conflict. While New Media provides an excellent source of information for the user, it also takes on a more prominent role. That is New Media intrinsically shapes the very events we read about in the news. The world is becoming more globalized because of the recent advances in technological uses, which drive New Media like WikiLeaks and Youtube, which in turn affects our perception of the outside world, and in turn that affects many other things such as political decisions/outcomes. My purpose is to explore how New Media promotes global awareness, since it allows the user to draw his/her own conclusions about events and take action.
