About My Project

I wrote about the role of New Media in a Globalized world. I found out that new media has been successfully applied to promoting global activism, like helping raise funds for Tsunami victims, as well as helping people in protesting against their government, and in some instances aiding revolutions (which we witnessed during these past five months in the Middle East). My topic was very broad, and I used Academic Search Complete to help me with finding articles, and this allowed me to narrow down the issues I wanted to discuss in my paper. I concluded that New Media is indeed a powerful force that can bring about political change and help de-construct old stereotypes while bringing people together.
