Essay Topic: You have encountered a range of contrasting thinkers on this module, each endeavouring to account for the role of information in the world today. Which thinkers, and why, do you feel offer the most persuasive analyses of information today? Your answer must come to terms with a range of thinkers and empirical evidence.

In my opinion, out of all scholars Giddens and Schiller are the ones that provides the most persuasive analyses of information today. However, the account of the work of other scholars should be provided.
