QUESTION 1
Explain the concept of ‘global village’ and discuss the role of
technology in facilitating human communication. (10)
Global Village:
The term "global village" was popularized by Marshall McLuhan
in the 1960s to describe the phenomenon where the world is
increasingly interconnected due to advances in communication
technology. In a global village, geographic and cultural distances
, shrink as people from different parts of the world become part of a
single, interconnected community.
Role of Technology:
1. Instant Communication: Technology, especially the
internet and mobile devices, allows for instant
communication across vast distances. Social media
platforms, email, and messaging apps enable people to stay
connected in real-time.
2. Information Access: Technology provides easy access to
information from around the world, fostering a better
understanding of different cultures and perspectives.
3. Virtual Communities: Online forums, social networks, and
virtual reality platforms create spaces where people can
interact, share ideas, and form communities regardless of
physical location.
4. Cultural Exchange: Technology facilitates the sharing of
cultural products like music, films, and literature, leading to a
greater appreciation of cultural diversity.
5. Collaboration and Innovation: Global collaboration on
projects and innovations is made possible through
technology, breaking down barriers and enabling diverse
contributions.
QUESTION 2
Discuss the view of communication as symbolic and provide
two examples of symbolic communication from your own
culture. (5)
