Inequality
As one might expect, there is a considerable interest in the capacity of the
internet and social media to produce large- scale social change. Yet the
question as to whether internet access and social media have improved
the plight of the world’s most disadvantaged populations or have rather
exacerbated inequalities continues and is far from resolved. As previous
chapters have pointed out, social media has had an important impact
on education, work and gender relations, all of which are major com-
ponents of this wider question. Several of our field sites represent low
income and disadvantaged populations. Here we examine the ways in
which social media may impact on people who do not have easy access
to digital resources, and how their use may be a mode of change – or,
conversely, how it may sustain their current social positions.
The number of people using digital communication has increased
dramatically since the launch of commercial access to the internet in the
mid- 1990s. And it is not just the rich, cosmopolitan and educated; the
current combination of mobile technology and social media has created
a strong interest among various socially underprivileged populations,
including illiterate or semi- literate people, low- wage manual migrant
workers and migrants in places such as China, India and Brazil.1
As with all the chapters of this book the evidence will be presented
from our long- term ethnographic engagement with nine different popu-
lations. We see that in each place inequality exists and is expressed in
different ways, depending upon historical processes and current polit-
ical and social structures. Drawing comparisons, ther ...

Global Engagement in an Interconnected World
*Summarized from a paper by the same title, authored by Dr. John Lee, Associate Professor of Social Studies, N.C. State University
Introduction
A mother sits with her son at a computer. Music fills the room as stylishly dressed kids dance on a computer screen. The scene is a house in the Western African country of Senegal where an encouraging mother is watching a music video with her son and offering her opinion of her son’s favorite new musical group, Rania. The group is from South Korea and is part of a music phenomenon called Korean Pop (or K-Pop) that fuses electronic, hip hop, rock and R&B musical forms. The young man made a video of his mother’s opinion of the group and put it on YouTube. A South Korean musical group, singing music online that emerged in black American culture, is being shared by an African boy on a global commercial video sharing network. How did we get to this point and what are the implications of this interconnected and overlapping world for this young man’s future and the future of young people in the United States?
A certain vision of the future is already here, although unevenly represented around the world. This future is cross-cultural and supported by a global economic system of multinational interests delivered through a decentralized communications network. Young people today are growing up in an interconnected world with access to information through a wide variety of mediums and devices that support the exchange of ideas and opinions. Given that these systems for communication are in constant flux and are being rapidly developed, children must prepare for a future that will look different than the world of their parents.
Trends in Youth Global Engagement
There are six trends that will shape the global engagement of Generation Z over the next decade. Each of them is outlined below.
Trend #1 – The Emergence of an Online Global Identity
Online social networks connect people and create avenues for extending our identity. Identity is connected to our physical being, but increasingly young people are crafting online identities using social networks. Manuel Castells describes this phenomenon in his recent trilogy The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture. Castells argues that the organization of global economics, political and social institutions prompts individuals to create meaning in their lives through collective action. This explains why networks such as Facebook have become so popular (500 million active users), so fast (Facebook went online in 2004). The attraction of Facebook is the human interaction and collective action that it facilitates. The technology is much less important than the human activities that the technologies enable. In fact, actual interfaces such as Facebook come and go rather quickly (e.g. AOL and MySpace, both with explosive growth and quick declines). These global networks allow people to be free of their “other” identities - ...

Learn what young people ages eight to 18 are doing on social media: What are their favorite social media platforms; who are they following; what are their goals on social media; and how to keep young people safe.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Teenagers have always been a tricky lot,
expressing themselves through the counter-
culture, be that clothes, hair, sex, music or drugs.
But these figures reveal something truly shocking:
today's teenagers are square.
That's right: square. They enjoy school, love
spending time with their families, live healthy,
productive lifestyles. There has been a marked
decline in risky behaviour, such as alcohol and
cigarette consumption. At the same time, however,
more of them report 'mainly spending time by
themselves'. Many say they never go out. Nearly
half of girls — 47 per cent — and 30 per cent of
boys reported using social networking or instant
messaging sites 'throughout the day'.

6. HENRY JENKINS
Digital Media – Online – Participatory culture – empowers
young people.
“Decisions are being made in corporate boardrooms and teenage
bedrooms”
Convergent culture – All media is becoming one. – The Internet is
merging media forms together. And bringing people together (with
different interests) online.
7. BUCKINGHAM &
GAUNTLETT
Buckingham – The rise of online identity has changed
traditional existing identites and subcultures. (Agrees with
his notion identity is constantly changing, complex, and
negotiated)
Gauntlett – The internet allows us to create our own identity
and Web2.0 etc. allow us all to participate.
Making is connecting.
8. ARE ONLINE IDENTITIES USING
‘NEW MEDIA’ DIFFERENT FROM
TRADITIONAL MEDIA IDENTITIES?

13. IS THE FUTURE REALLY
THAT DIFFERENT AND
FREE
“Children and Youth are a distinct social group and want to be
treated as such. A successful example of this is the TV Channel
Nickelodeon where it’s all about kids; their views, interests, not
being adults, about being fun and innovative. It gives children a
sense of empowerment. But we must remember that adults
have sold this empowerment to them. So this idea of
independence is not true it is more about enabling children
to be independent consumers but masquerading it as social
rights.”
- David Buckingham
14. THOUGHTS TO
CONCLUDE ON
• Does the internet empower young people and allow ‘bedrooms’ to
become as important as ‘boardrooms’ as Jenkins states?
• Does new media and new media platforms allow us to converge, or
further alienate young people and adults?
• Does new media and new media platforms allow the mediation of
identity by outsiders to be challenged?
• Does the internet and new media bring us together or make us more
alone?
• Does the internet and new media destroy traditional collective
identities, create new ones, or both?
