Questions:
1) In your preliminary post please first introduce yourself by stating:
d) How globalization and media embedded in your life, just as they are in Lule's son's life (2). Give a couple of specific examples!
2) Pose at least one question/request for clarification about, and one important thing you learned from, the syllabus (you can provide more if you wish!). For one of your comments this week consider answering a peer's question or add specificity to their answers. I will answer all requests for clarification and any outstanding questions.
3) What does Lule mean when he says "media are the 'significant other' of globalization" (11)? (Hint: this is directly related to his thesis!) If you think a peer has an incomplete or inaccurate answer to this question for one of your comments you might consider providing constructive criticism, but be sure you remember the constructive part - this means clarifying what you think needs to be added, subtracted, or altered in their explanation.
4) What does Lule mean with his mixed metaphor of a "global village of Babel" (14-18)? Do you agree with his assessment, encapsulated by this metaphor, that "globalization and media ... are combining to create a dark and divided village" (16)? Why or why not? Giving one or more examples to support your position is a good idea here!
