Social media activism presentation
The document discusses social media activism and examines case studies to evaluate its effectiveness. It defines social media activism as using social platforms to champion causes. While some critics argue offline activism is more impactful, examples like the marriage equality referendum in Ireland found social media helped engage young voters and shift perceptions to support LGBT rights. The document also explores environmental campaigns and the Arab Spring, noting social media was effective at raising awareness but usually one catalyst among others for change. Overall, the impact of social media activism depends on how effectiveness is measured.

Wikinomics
This document discusses how new technologies and online platforms are changing how information is shared and consumed. Key topics covered include wikinomics, peer production, free creativity, democracy, global thinking, changes in news values from infotainment to blogs and user-generated content, lack of regulation online compared to traditional media, and case studies of how platforms like MySpace, YouTube, Linux, and Open Office are challenging traditional models and representations.
Globalisation in Media
Globalization is the increasing integration of countries through advances in technology and transportation that allow for faster movement of people, goods, money, data and ideas worldwide. This document discusses how globalization has impacted media distribution and filmmaking. Films can now easily reach global audiences online, and some are tailored for specific international markets by including foreign language audio tracks or representations of other cultures. While globalization allows for sharing of cultures and knowledge, it can also facilitate the rapid spread of viruses and homogenize media markets dominated by large companies. Overall, the document suggests that globalization may continue integrating the world into a single community where goods from all countries are widely available locally.

Jones And Turner iran seattle presentation
This document compares the uses of social media in the 1999 Battle of Seattle protests and the 2009 Iranian election protests. It discusses how early internet technologies like email lists and Indymedia allowed for radical democracy in Seattle, while Twitter and YouTube helped spread information about and draw global attention to protests in Iran despite state restrictions. While new media helped organize both movements, the document argues that Western liberal ideologies still shaped coverage in ways that reconciled protests with the status quo.
Media globalization through localization
The document discusses media globalization and localization as concurrent phenomena. While globalization allows for widespread distribution of media through technologies like satellite television and the internet, localization emphasizes that people still consume media within a context of local culture and identity. The document also analyzes different perspectives on globalization, from those who see it as inevitable to those who believe its impacts can be transformed through local and national influences.
Globalization
Globalization has led to greater flow of information worldwide through media. Initially, this was seen as promoting peace, but concerns grew over propaganda. Developing nations sought to balance information production dominated by wealthier Western nations through the New World Information and Communication Order. However, control of media remains concentrated in wealthier nations, limiting access and agency for individuals in developing countries over the information and media they consume. Technology has given Western media global reach, but developing nations have struggled to establish effective communication systems to reach their own populations.
Social Media Construction in Egypt Uprising
The document discusses a study that analyzed media coverage of the Egyptian uprising in 2011. It investigated the technological discourses used by traditional and new media. The study found that traditional media promoted the idea of a "Twitter revolution" to a greater extent than new media. It also identified two common approaches - a social idealist perspective and a technological rationalist perspective. The study used content analysis of newspapers and social media to analyze differences in framing between media types.
Global media
This document discusses different concepts of global media including the Western concept exemplified by Britain which balances libertarianism and social responsibility. It also covers the development concept where governments partner with media, the revolutionary concept aimed at ending government monopoly over information, and authoritarianism/communism exemplified by China's control over media. The document also notes that most programming worldwide resembles American media due to the US's influence and addresses debates around cultural imperialism and calls for quotas on foreign media content.

SPH 107 Ch 1
This document discusses the key concepts of communication and ethical public speaking. It defines communication as the process of sending and receiving verbal and nonverbal messages to create shared meaning. There are five primary contexts of communication: intrapersonal, impersonal, interpersonal, small group, and public.

Hibernating DDS
This document discusses using the Data Local Reconstruction Layer (DLRL) to address the object/relational impedance mismatch when using the Data Distribution Service (DDS) from object-oriented programming languages. DLRL provides an object/relational mapping for DDS that allows applications to work with object models instead of directly with DDS topics. It provides features like mapping between objects and topics, support for associations and inheritance, and can either automatically or manually map object models to existing DDS data models. Using DLRL allows applications to ignore the distributed nature of DDS data and focus on object-oriented design patterns.

Overcoming Speech Apprehension refers to reducing the fear and anxiety experienced when public speaking. Symptoms include anticipation anxiety before speaking, a surge of anxiety when beginning, and gradual decline of anxiety after starting. Better preparation and skills training can help minimize nervousness, and listeners may not notice if a speaker feels nervous. Practicing speeches in different styles like conversational, impromptu, scripted, and extemporaneous can help build confidence.
A Similarity Measure for Large Color Differences
Hundreds of large color differences, of magnitude 20 DeltaE00, were generated and used in a visual sorting experiment. The process of generating these color differences and two specific experiments are described in detail. The results show that small color difference metrics, such as DeltaE00, do not consistently model the visually sorted differences for large differences. A new similarity measure, based on a cosine similarity between categorical vectors of colors, is described and used to more consistently model large color differences. This similarity metric can be used to better characterize large color errors during reproduction, for image processing operations such as segmentation or as a feature for content retrieval. The new measure can also be applied to visual phenomena, such as categorical perception, in which within category color differences are perceived as smaller than across category differences.

The Making of the Global Working Class
1. Established networks and international communities of 'interlockers' who bridge labour, radical knowledge, and social justice struggles have converged with free information/knowledge, culture, and economy communities.
2. This convergence has led to the political manifestation of movements like FLOSS, hackers' ethics, and telekommunism, as well as groups like Anonymous, LulzSec, Wikileaks, and Pirate Bay.
3. New forms of international labour communication and organizing have emerged, including projects like Unionbook and the New Unionism Network, as well as collaborative actions and global solidarity conferences.
Reinventing social communication to build a democratic technological future"
The document discusses reinventing social communication to build a democratic technological future. It questions whether democracy and sustainability can co-exist (democracy XOR sustainable future). It argues that the current stalemate is partly due to a failure to understand how communication technology has empowered bottom-up social change. It advocates reinventing social communication by focusing on generativity, wisdom in ordinary actions, and post-political governance of the digital commons.
Where Did This Global Movement Come From?
The global anti-globalization movement emerged in the late 1980s and gained momentum through major protests in the 1990s and 2000s. Early protests targeted international financial institutions by a few hundred activists but grew to tens of thousands expressing concerns around issues like debt cancellation, environmental protection, and corporate power. While diverse, the movement lacked central organization and was framed by media as "anti-globalization" rather than representing the decentralized network it was. As communication technologies advanced, they empowered more direct democracy and collective action among disparate groups. However, the movement has focused on protest rather than articulating a clear alternative vision, which it now needs to do by standing for institutional change that creates shared prosperity within planetary boundaries.
Social Networking and Transnational Capitalism
1) The document examines how social media platforms like Facebook operate within a transnational capitalist system dominated by venture capital firms and their investors.
2) It draws on Gramsci's concept of hegemony to argue that social media users unknowingly consent to having their data and relationships commodified for profit.
3) While social media presents itself as free and non-commercial, it relies on advertising revenue and collects vast amounts of user data that is valuable for market research and targeting ads. This represents the "commodification of friendship" for economic gain.

Political realignment and the resurgence of socialism
The document discusses the resurgence of socialism and political realignment in Europe and America. In Europe, center-right and centrist parties lost support while socialists, greens, and nationalists/populists gained. Similarly in America, both political parties have adopted more collectivist economic policies through factions appealing to nationalists, unions, globalist technocrats, and greens. This has weakened the case for free markets and increased support for greater government intervention. The document calls for free market advocates to develop alliances between thinkers and business people to better communicate the benefits of capitalism and risks of socialism.

This document discusses the social shaping of internet-based media applications in global communication through case studies of Iran and Indonesia. In Iran, social media played a key role in women's rights campaigns by spreading information and building social movements. In Indonesia, the internet and social networks in cybercafes helped spread controversial information that initiated political revolution against President Suharto. However, authoritarian regimes can still exert control over internet media. The document raises questions about assessing the impact and stabilization of social media globally and how communication theories account for grassroots anti-capitalist movements in Asia.

In the internet era, blogs, social media and mobile phones have enabled ordinary people to participate in media, as seen in alternative sites like Ohmynews and social media's role in events like Iran's 2009 election protests.

This document summarizes a social movement in Hong Kong to preserve the Star Ferry Pier and Queen's Pier from demolition. Artists began performing at Star Ferry Pier to express concerns about its demolition. This raised public awareness of the piers' cultural and historical significance. However, the government demolished the piers anyway, building a replica pier. Activists criticized early protests as too nostalgic, arguing they should focus on civic participation and cultural history rather than just memories. The movement grew as reports revealed the government misled the public about consultation on the demolition.
