#7 Globalization

Today I was thinking about the effect that the mass media plays on our society and on the global community. For some reason lately, the idea of globalization has been on my mind lately. Although this happened a while ago, I was thinking about the role that the mass media played in rally Egyptians together to stand up to their Authoritarian government. Because of social networking and other uses of the mass media, the revolution was able to take place and they were able to make a difference. Not only were they able to make a difference among Egyptians, but they were able to have a profound impact on other Arab countries as well.
