Globalization and the Information Age

Many have observed that we are living through historical changes at least as dramatic as the Industrial Revolution.  Discuss the Information Age and explain how it has affected your own life and career.

This week, you are to write a course project portfolio essay on the issue of globalization. Give an example of a current, active website that is based in the US, which expresses the values of globalization, and analyze the site.

Your essay should answer the following questions:

• What is globalization, and in what ways has the Internet served as a vehicle for it?
• What cultural values do the site you chose reflect?
• What political values are reflected?
• Is the site culturally or politically biased in some way? Explain.
• How are these values that are reflected by the website distinctly American?

Your thesis for this essay should attempt to argue why this site is an example of the values of globalization, and use your answers from the questions above to explain why this is true.

This essay should be 2-3 pages, in APA style, utilizing the college’s library resources. Please include at least one scholarly resource as a minimum in your essay.
