Virtual community:
a group of people, who may or may not meet one another face to
face, who exchange words and ideas through the mediation of
computer bulletin board systems (BBSs) and other digital
networks.
The first use of the term virtual community appeared in a 1987
article written by Howard Rheingold for The Whole Earth
Review. In The Virtual Community (1993), Rheingold expanded
on his article to offer the following definition:
Virtual communities are social aggregations that emerge from
the Net when enough people carry on those public discussions
long enough, with sufficient human feeling, to form webs of
personal relationships in cyberspace.
This article and book are cited as the foundational works of
cyberculture studies. Many subsequent commentators have
contested Rheingold’s use of the word community and the
terminology used to describe the technosocial phenomena of
persistent computer-mediated relationships; social
media and participatory media are also used to describe a very
broad variety of human social activity online.
The first predictions of communities of computer-linked
individuals and groups were made in 1968 by J.C.R. Licklider
and Robert Taylor, who as research administrators for the U.S.
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) set in

23. motion the research that resulted in the creation of the first such
community, the ARPANET, which was the precursor of the
Internet. Licklider and Taylor wrote,
What will on-line interactive communities be like? In most
fields they will consist of geographically separated members,
sometimes grouped in small clusters and sometimes working
individually. They will be communities not of common location,
but of common interest.
Even before the ARPANET, in the early 1960s, the PLATO
computer-based education system included online community
features. Douglas Engelbart, who ran the ARPANET’s first
Network Information Center, had grown a “bootstrapping
community” at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), located at
Stanford University in California, through use of his pioneering
oNLine System (NLS) before the ARPANET was launched.
By the beginning of the 21st century, the four computer nodes
(University of California at Los Angeles, SRI, University of
California at Santa Barbara, and University of Utah) that
constituted the ARPANET community in 1969 had expanded to
include some one billion people with access to the Internet.
With several billion mobile telephones now in existence and a
growing trend toward building Internet connections into mobile
devices, it is not unlikely that a significant portion of the human
population will conduct some of their social affairs by means of
computer networks. The range of networked activities has
greatly expanded since Rheingold described BBSs, chat rooms,
mailing lists, USENET newsgroups, and MUDs (multiuser
dungeons) in 1993. In the 21st century, people meet, play,
conduct discourse, socialize, do business, and organize
collective action through instant messages, blogs (including
videoblogs), RSS feeds (a format for subscribing to and
receiving regularly updated content from Web sites), wikis,
social network services such as MySpace and Facebook, photo
and media-sharing communities such as Flickr, massively
multiplayer online games such as Lineage and World of
Warcraft, and immersive virtual worlds such as Second Life.

24. Virtual communities and social media have coevolved as
emerging technologies have afforded new kinds of interaction
and as different groups of people have appropriated media for
new purposes.
96813.jpgStudents talking on cell phones between classes at the
University of Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S. AP
The emergence of globally networked publics has raised a
number of psychological, sociological, economic, and political
issues, and these issues have in turn stimulated the creation of
new courses and research programs in social media, virtual
communities, and cyberculture studies. In particular, the
widespread use of online communication tools has raised
questions of identity and the presentation of self, community or
pseudocommunity, collective action, public sphere, social
capital, and quality of attention.
134506.jpgPlaying video games and watching movies at an
Internet café in Wuhu, Anhui province, China. Imaginechina/AP
A number of different critiques arose as cyberculture studies
emerged. A political critique of early online activism
questioned whether online relationships offered a kind of
comforting simulation of collective action. On close inspection,
the question of what actually defines a community has turned
out to be complex: American sociologist George A. Hillery, Jr.,
compiled 92 different definitions. Canadian sociologist Barry
Wellman defined community as “networks of interpersonal ties
that provide sociability, support, information, a sense of
belonging, and social identity”—and offered empirical evidence
that at least some virtual communities fit these criteria. As has
happened in the past, what people mean when they speak of
community is shifting.
As the early digital enthusiasts, builders, and researchers were
joined by a more representative sample of the world’s
population, a broader and not always wholesome representation
of human behaviour manifested itself online. Life online in the
21st century enabled terrorists and various cybercriminals to
make use of the same many-to-many digital networks that

25. enable support groups for disease victims and caregivers,
disaster relief action, distance learning, and community-
building efforts. Soldiers in battle taunt their enemies with text
messages, disseminate information through instant messaging,
and communicate home through online videos. With so many
young people spending so much of their time online, many
parents and “real world” community leaders expressed concerns
about the possible effects of overindulging in such virtual social
lives. In addition, in an environment where anyone can publish
anything or make any claim online, the need to include an
understanding of social media in education has given rise to
advocates for “participatory pedagogy.”
Students of online social behaviour have noted a shift from
“group-centric” characterizations of online socializing to a
perspective that takes into account “networked individualism.”
Again, quoting Wellman:
Although people often view the world in terms of groups, they
function in networks. In networked societies: boundaries are
permeable, interactions are with diverse others, connections
switch between multiple networks, and hierarchies can be flatter
and recursive.…Most people operate in multiple, thinly-
connected, partial communities as they deal with networks of
kin, neighbours, friends, workmates and organizational ties.
Rather than fitting into the same group as those around them,
each person has his/her own “personal community.”
It is likely that community-centred forms of online
communication will continue to flourish—in the medical
community alone, mutual support groups will continue to afford
strong and persistent bonds between people whose primary
communications take place online. At the same time, it is also
likely that the prevalence of individual-centred social network
services and the proliferation of personal communication
devices will feed the evolution of “networked individualism.”
Cyberculture studies, necessarily an interdisciplinary pursuit, is
likely to continue to grow as more human socialization is
mediated by digital networks.

GUIDELINES FOR INDIVIDUAL WRITTEN COUNTRY
STUDY1. Follow the steps below:
· Research the chosen country.
· Choose an appropriate product/service to introduce into the
country (newer items only or new to int’l business companies, if
you are from Georgia you can’t sell Coke).
· Research a service or product line of a native Alabama (or the
state you call home) company (not foreign-owned), your choice;
if you are a foreign-born student, you will sell a product
/service from your home country (not foreign-owned) to sell in
the assigned country.
· Do further research on the country focusing on the information
relevant to the product/service.
· Write the paper following the outline below in #4:
2. Use a minimum of five sources. Newspaper articles (Wall
Street Journal) and popular business publications (Business
Week, Fortune) are some of the best sources because they are
current. Changes occur rapidly in the international environment
for business, so only sources that have been published in the
last 5 years are reliable (sometimes the very latest [this
semester] sources are most important). Use the following many
times, (Hill, 2013, p. xx). Cite all sources and arrange headings
according to the Publication Manual of the American
Psychological Association, 6th Edition (APA style).
Only sources with identifiable authors are acceptable. That
means a person’s name has to be attached to the article! (There
are ONLY two exceptions; company web page and CIA
website.) A full reference page is required.
3. The paper will be 8 printed pages of text, cover sheet and
reference page are extra. The paper will be double-spaced, 1"
margins, numbered pages (first page of text is 1), and Times

27. New Roman 12 pt font. Spelling, typographical errors, and poor
grammar count (off). Use third person (no I, me, or we).
This is a formal business report. This is not a creative writing
project. I do not want your opinion. State the facts and draw a
conclusion.
4. Follow the outline below. Use headings/subheadings. You
must include the BOLD/bold ones.

WRITTEN REPORT GRADING RUBRIC

28. · A (90-100)
The paper is well organized both overall and at the paragraph
level. Sentences are smooth and carefully crafted. There are
virtually no errors in punctuation or spelling, grammar or usage.
Words are chosen with precision. Informal language (i.e., slang)
or dialect is used only when appropriate. The paper avoids
triteness and unwarranted generalization: the language is fresh
and vivid. The paper is tight, not wordy. The ideas show a
thorough understanding of the work and are often insightful; the
ideas are developed and supported. The ideas illuminate the
work as a whole and do not contradict other parts of the work or
overlook parts, which are relevant to the topic. The writer keeps
his/her audience in mind and, as a consequence, the paper
engages and interests the reader. Citations of authors and
literature in the field are abundant, add insight, and clarify
ideas stated.
· B (80-89)
The paper is well-organized, but the paragraph structure may
sometimes be disjointed. The paper may have a few awkward
passages and a few errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar or
usage. The language may at times be too general; it may lack
the freshness or precision of the "A" paper. But none of these
errors is glaring or highly distracting. The ideas are worthwhile
and show good understanding of the work; they are sometimes
insightful, generally well developed, and well supported. The
ideas help illuminate the work as a whole and contradict or
overlook no major aspects. While the paper is always clear and
thus suggests that the writer had his/her audience in mind in a
general way, the style or presentation of the ideas does not
always engage or interest the reader. Citations of authors and
literature in the field add clarity to the ideas stated.
· C (70-79)
The paper is basically well-organized, though individual
paragraphs may be disunited or misplaced. Generally, however,

29. the paper shows that the writer has followed a logical plan. The
writing is competent, but often wordy, overly general,
imprecise, or trite. Sentences may at times be awkwardly
constructed, but their meaning is clear. Grammar, punctuation,
spelling, and usage are not highly distracting, but there may be
some errors. The ideas are generally worthwhile, but not very
insightful; development and support are present but sometimes
less than adequate. The ideas illuminate parts of the work, but
not the whole; no major aspects of the work are contradicted or
entirely disregarded. While the writing is usually competent, the
writer does little to interest or engage the reader in what he/she
has to say. Citations of a thesis and literature in the field add
limited clarity or misrepresent the ideas stated.
· D (60-69)
The paper is poorly organized, though there is a recognizable
thesis. Some sentences may be so confused that their meaning
does not clearly emerge. Words may be imprecise, incorrect,
trite or vague. In general, however, the paper is understandable.
Ideas are generally superficial and weakly developed or
supported, although some development and support are present.
Obvious aspects of the work have been overlooked or
disregarded; some significant facts may be incorrect. Audience
"engagement" cannot occur, although the writer may have
attempted to elicit it, because of the serious deficiencies already
noted. Citations are limited or missing.
· F (0-59)
The paper lacks a clear thesis; the language or sentence
structure is so muddled as to be unclear in several spots; or the
errors in punctuation, spelling, grammar, and usage are highly
distracting. The ideas are superficial and show no real
understanding of the work beyond, perhaps, plots; important
facts are incorrect. The paper relies on generalizations with
little or no development or support. The paper blatantly
overlooks, disregards, or contradicts important aspects of the
work. Under any of these conditions audience "engagement" is
impossible.
