Using the 3 T’s write a 2 pages essay.
the first T is : This is to explain how monthly meeting helped solve a productivity problem.

Thus far in the semester, we have discussed what it means to live in a pervasive media society wherein most
of us spend more time using media technologies than all other daily activities, including work and sleep. As
Lule describes in his (2012) text, media are used as tools for economic, political, and cultural globalization.
While some people believe that media have helped to foster a global village by creating a more
interconnected and interdependent world, others believe media have actually enhanced conflict,
miscommunication, and indifference. The purpose of this writing assignment is to prompt you to reflect on
your perceptions about the relationship between media and globalization. Answer the following prompts,
using evidence from the texts and lectures, to support your ideas:
1. Describe the connection between the pervasive media environment and the global village.
2. How do media influence economics, politics, and culture in ways that positively or negatively
affect the global village?
3. Explain why you believe McLuhan’s global village or Lule’s global village of Babel better
describes our world.
