Assignment:

1) According to Lodigiani, how do the particular interests of Western/hegemonic nations become transformed to appear to be general interests (i.e. global, neutral interests)? (Hint: the answer has to do with knowledge and power - try around pages nine and ten!). If you aren't sure or were confused by this aspect of the reading, that's okay - say so! You might consider providing clarification in one of your comments on a peer's post.

2) Did Lodigiani convince you that "globalising initiatives have been used to mirror neo-colonial practices and foster unequal power relationships between countries in the Global North and Global South" (1)? Why or why not? Remember that your answer shouldn't be based on personal opinion or feeling, but on evidence from the texts this week.

3) The Jin article introduces some important concepts this week. Brainstorm some connections between cultural and platform imperialism as they might play out in real life. It may help to think about a specific platform and/or cultural value while brainstorming.
