The document discusses several topics related to film and culture, including: 1) Early beliefs saw film as an accurate representation of reality and a tool for political propaganda during WWI. 2) Historical films often fictionalize events, and debates emerge around their accuracy in portraying wars like Vietnam and Iraq. 3) There is disagreement over whether truly "objective" history is possible, and how popular myths and culture can shape historical narratives. 4) Myths play an important role in society and film, both reflecting shared understandings and changing over time to represent new realities, as seen in archetypes from Star Wars.

The document discusses several topics related to film and culture, including:
1) Early beliefs saw film as an accurate representation of reality and a tool for political propaganda. World War I marked the first explicit political uses of film.
2) Historical films are often not realistic portrayals and spark debates about accuracy. Claims of accuracy in films like "Apocalypse Now" and "The Hurt Locker" are disputed.
3) The relationship between objective history, social myths perpetuated in culture, and maintaining social cohesion is examined.
New Waves (1960's-1970's)
The New Wave science fiction movement of the 1960s-1970s was influenced by technological changes and social upheavals of the time. Writers rebelled against traditional sci-fi tropes and incorporated themes around war, technology, and the human condition. Notable figures like Michael Moorcock and Harlan Ellison experimented with new styles and topics like feminism, sexuality, and dystopian societies. Touchstone films like Planet of the Apes and 2001: A Space Odyssey reflected contemporary concerns while pioneering new techniques. Overall, the New Wave represented a turn towards more literary and socially conscious science fiction.
Apush literature
Late 1940s literature saw a boom in book sales, with non-fiction novels about WWII thriving and most fiction exploring the postwar society. Notable works included Dr. Spock's Commonsense Book of Baby and Child Care and Shirley Jackson's The Lottery. The 1950s saw a rise in science fiction and novels examining the conflict between individuals and conformity. The 1960s reflected political and social issues like the civil rights movement in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. Literature in the 1970s explored a society drifting from spiritual roots, while the 1980s saw the rise of popular non-fiction bestsellers. Overall, American literature reflected the themes and culture of its time period.
Telling the story of a lifetime without words
This document discusses how images can convey stories and influence perceptions on their own without words. It notes that through stories, perceptions of predators have changed from terror to sympathy. Now in the age of conservation reliance, nature cannot stand on its own due to humankind's disruption, and stories shape whether nature goes from annihilation to affection. The document also includes several historical images about Theodore Roosevelt and cartoons that illustrate stories on their own or combine images with words.
Postmodernism
Postmodernism emerged in the late 20th century as a critique of modernism. It rejects the idea of grand narratives and absolute truths, instead embracing ambiguity and plurality of perspectives. Postmodern thinkers like Lyotard, Jameson, and Baudrillard analyzed how society has become dominated by images and media, lacking a clear sense of shared reality. While postmodernism highlighted diversity, it is criticized for being too pessimistic and for potentially undermining goals of modernity like democracy, freedom, and rational policymaking.
La falacia de la princesa guerrera
This document discusses the "princess warrior fallacy" and cites several sources that analyze the portrayal of female warriors in popular culture. Specifically, it references works by Kim Tolley, Sherrie A. Innes, and Joanee Moralee that examine the TV character Xena: Warrior Princess and whether such characters provide liberating or problematic images of women's power. The document concludes by thanking the reader for their attention.
Feminism
This document discusses the history and key concepts of feminism. It covers first wave feminism and the women's suffrage movement in the late 19th/early 20th century. It then discusses second wave feminism emerging in the 1960s, focusing on issues like workplace equality. Third wave feminism emerged in the 1990s, emphasizing intersectionality and expanding feminism's focus beyond the experiences of middle-class white women. The document also discusses patriarchy, marginalization, and portrayals of women in media and language.
Queer theory
Queer Theory aims to change society and analyze it. It is influenced by Judith Butler's Gender Trouble, which argues that gender and sex should not be linked categories so that all sexual identities can be accepted. Queer Theory points to examples in popular culture like gender-bending performers and advertisements that suggest gender and sexuality are more fluid concepts than fixed identities. It also notes that gay and lesbian characters in media are now treated less as tokenism and more as normal representations.

The hours and the Modernist novel
The film The Hours is based on the novel of the same name by Michael Cunningham. It tells the interconnected stories of three women from different generations linked by Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs. Dalloway. It explores themes of suicide, memories, social constraints, disappointment, and the search for identity. The modernist novel focuses on death after war, spiritual paralysis, disappointment, loss, and the conflict between social roles and one's true self.
David Gaunlett Identity and media representation
David Gauntlett argues that the media plays an important role in how individuals construct their identity. It provides models and representations that people can use to think through questions about their identity, lifestyle, and ways of expressing themselves. However, the process of identity formation is complex, as identities can change depending on circumstances and media messages. Gauntlett also questions whether the idea of individual uniqueness is an illusion, suggesting that people may be more similar than they think.
Michaelas Final Presentation
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a 1932 dystopian science fiction novel that satirizes the modern conditioning of society and human nature. The novel presents a futuristic world where humans are produced through artificial reproductive technology and conditioned from birth to fill certain roles based on their genetically engineered capabilities. Through its depiction of a totalitarian and hedonistic society, the novel serves as a critique and commentary on the potential negative consequences of scientific and technological progress if not balanced with human individuality and free will.
Representation
This document provides an overview of key concepts in representation theory, including how representations in media texts can reinforce dominant ideologies and stereotypes. It discusses approaches such as Marxism, feminism, and postmodernism for analyzing representations. Stereotypes are addressed as simplifying representations that provide shortcuts for meaning-making. The document aims to give students a basic understanding of evaluating representations in their coursework against these theoretical frameworks.
Claude levi strauss
Claude Levi-Strauss was a French anthropologist who argued that human minds have universal structures across cultures. He is known for his theory of binary oppositions, which says that meaning comes from contrasting ideas like good vs evil, dark vs light, and protagonist vs antagonist. Examples of binary oppositions can be seen across genres in films, such as power dynamics in Schindler's List, dual identities in Spiderman, and contrasting personalities in Role Models. Levi-Strauss' work established structuralism and influenced fields like sociology and philosophy.
Dystopian novels
The document discusses several classic dystopian novels including 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451. It summarizes the key themes and plots of each work, noting how they served as cautionary tales reflecting the authors' contemporary societal fears and critiques of totalitarianism, mass conformity, censorship, and the loss of individual identity. These dystopian novels depicted seemingly perfect societies that were actually nightmarish upon closer examination, aiming to warn readers of modern trends taken to their worst conclusions.
Feminist theory
Feminist film theory emerged in the 1960s-1990s influenced by second wave feminism. It analyzes how films portray women and the impact those portrayals have on society and viewers. Early feminist film theorists argued that women were often depicted in stereotypical, subordinate roles as eye candy for male viewers. Today, feminist film theory takes a more intersectional approach, considering differences among women in terms of class, race, ethnicity, and nationality. It also examines portrayals of women globally and how feminist perspectives have diversified.
Fathering the Cursed Child
This document discusses several topics related to fan fiction and authorship within fandom communities:
- It discusses debates around whether fan fiction adds to or is only supplementary to the original fictional universe.
- It describes how some male fans have redefined stereotypes of fans from lonely basement dwellers to powerful visionaries in entertainment.
- It explores how the Harry Potter fandom online allowed youth to participate in non-heteronormative narratives and shape stories.
- It examines how fans attribute or deny authorship based on public personas and how much influence authors should have over textual interpretation.
Representation theories
This document discusses representation and gender theory. It provides background on theorists Judith Butler, Stuart Hall, and Paul Gilroy. Judith Butler is discussed in depth, with explanations of her theories of gender performativity and "gender trouble." Gender, according to Butler, is constructed through performances and repetitions of gender roles, rather than being based on inherent or biological traits. The document also discusses debates around representation of feminism in the media.
Vicki Callahan: Hacking the Classroom
This document discusses collaborative storytelling and how it can challenge traditional narratives by blurring fictional and non-fictional worlds. It explores how counter narratives and alternative voices through techniques like ethno-fiction, ethno-performatives, serious play, remixing and social media can provide alternative perspectives on history and give voice to those who have been marginalized. The document also mentions courses on these topics taught by Vicki Callahan at the USC Institute for Multimedia Literacy.
Vicki Callahan C&W 2012
Presentation for Computers and Writing, 2012 for the panel: Hacking the Academy. Here I examine the notion of "Hacking Narratives" through the collaborative storytelling project. A number of narratives are hacked from historical to authorial with displacement of time and authority producing new possibilities.
Feminist theory
Feminist film theory emerged from second-wave feminism in the 1960s-1990s. It analyzes how women are portrayed in films and how those portrayals impact society's views of women. Early theorists focused on critiquing the roles of women in films and how those roles could negatively influence female viewers. Feminist film theory has since expanded to explore differences among women globally and engage in dialogue about representations of various groups through diverse methodologies.
Wells Research and Cohen’s Moral Panic
This document summarizes research from Wells on how different generations react to and are interested in horror films. It conducted a study in 2000 with 12 people in each of four age groups (16-25, 26-40, 41-55, 56-80). The study found that older generations were initially more interested in horror when younger due to life experiences like walking home during WW2, while younger generations enjoy graphic elements more. It also discusses Cohen's theory of moral panic, where the media can increase fear around a perceived threat.
Identity and representation
This document provides an overview of required readings and core concepts for a university course on identity and representation. It summarizes key points from several of the assigned readings, including discussions on the power of images in war reporting and managing visibility of suffering in the media. It also examines concepts like racism, Eurocentrism, and paternalism in media portrayals. Specifically, it analyzes how media coverage constructs identities of people in Afghanistan and Africa. The document aims to outline important topics and perspectives that will be covered during the course.
A2 fem gen
This document provides an overview of key concepts in feminism and gender theory, including:
- Definitions of feminism and a brief history covering first, second, and third-wave feminism.
- Summaries of the work and ideas of prominent theorists Angela McRobbie and Judith Butler. McRobbie studied youth culture and gender, while Butler argued that gender is a social construct and performance rather than a stable identity.
- An introduction to queer theory and how it builds on Butler's work to question traditional definitions of sex, gender, and sexuality.
Lyotard
- French philosopher Jean-Francois Lyotard was born in 1924 and known for his work on postmodernism and rejection of grand narratives.
- He argued that knowledge is controlled by those in power and that science's claim to possess objective truth is flawed, as theories are shaped by their cultural and historical context.
- Lyotard was influential in introducing concepts like "language games" and rejecting universal philosophies and political ideologies in favor of localized narratives.
Intro to Postmodernism
Postmodernism rejects rational thinking and order in favor of chaos. It is a reaction against modernism and encompasses attitudes across many fields in the late 20th/early 21st century. Key aspects include the breakdown between culture and society due to media influence, an emphasis on style over substance, a breakdown of distinctions between high and popular culture, confusion over time and space due to mass media, and a decline of grand narratives used to explain reality. Examples across art, architecture, literature, media and more are provided.
New Waves (1960's-1970's)
The New Wave science fiction movement of the 1960s-1970s was influenced by technological changes and social upheaval of the time. New Wave writers explored more experimental themes and styles that were critical of established social norms. They incorporated elements of mainstream literary fiction and focused on human psychology and interactions rather than hard science. Notable figures like Michael Moorcock and Judith Merril helped establish New Wave magazines and anthologies, while touchstone films like Fahrenheit 451 and Planet of the Apes engaged with issues like censorship and colonialism. The movement influenced science fiction to focus more on social commentary and inner space over outer space adventures.
Mc carthyism%20asj%20jes%20and%20aut[1]1
Joseph McCarthy sparked the era of McCarthyism in the 1950s through accusations of communist infiltration without evidence. He claimed to have a list of 205 known communists working for the US government. The public became paranoid and thousands lost their jobs or were imprisoned due to mere suspicions. McCarthy's accusations corrupted society and allowed him to target people in the government, entertainment industry, education, and unions. Many lives and careers were destroyed with little proof of communist ties. The document draws parallels between McCarthyism and The Crucible, as playwright Arthur Miller was also accused during this period.
Introduction to postmodernism
The document discusses postmodernism and how it differs from modern thought. Postmodernism rejects universal truths and objective reality, seeing them as social constructs. It emphasizes relativity, fragmentation, and skepticism of grand narratives. Postmodernism has influenced many fields by challenging traditional concepts of knowledge, truth, identity and values.

Starving for Diversity: Ideological
Implications of Race Representations in The
Hunger Games
ELLEN E. MOORE A N D CATHERINE
COLEMAN
Introduction
I
N MARCH 2012, THE FILM THE HUNGER GAMES WAS RELEASED IN
US theaters by independent film studio Lions Gate in the
third-largest US film premiere in history (Bowles). The film
—about a young girl’s life-or-death struggles in a dystopian
world—is based on the first book in a series by author Suzanne
Collins that remained in the top ten of the New York Times’s
“Children’s Series” best sellers list for more than four years.
Aimed at young adults, the film drew in the same young, largely
female audience who were fans of the Twilight film series1
(Bowles). Although the movie was a box office hit, a controversy
erupted when it hit theaters: many young The Hunger Games fans
who had read the book prior to seeing the film were shocked to
find African-American actors cast in some of the supporting roles.
Fans seemed particularly upset with a black actor playing the
supporting character “Rue,” and took to Twitter to express a
range of emotions, including surprise, disappointment, and
enmity.
The tweets are in sharp contrast to a society that increasingly
tries to identify itself as “postracial,” typically defined as moving
away from evaluative considerations of skin tone and ethnic iden-
tity (Thornton 425). As such, they invite comment beyond the

facile conclusion that this is an isolated occurrence fueled by a
few uneducated individuals. On the contrary, this event is a result
of more systemic issues, which becomes apparent when the Games’
controversy is situated within overlapping contexts that highlight
the complex relationship between race and commercial media.
First, the controversy transpires within emerging discussions of
the United States as a “postracial” society. Although polls have shown
that the election of the first black US president has not changed racial
attitudes significantly (Dowe), discussions of what it means to be pos-
tracial have been increasing in American news media, popular press,
and academia (Wise; Kaplan; McElroy; Wenner). The importance of
these conversations is underscored by the fact that almost all of the
tweets came from young individuals (Anderson), throwing into doubt
the belief that newer generations represent the vanguard of a “color
blind” society.
The Hunger Games Controversy: Fans’ Reaction to Race
Representations
In both book and film format, The Hunger Games is a multilayered cri-
tique of power and conflict. On a manifest level, the story is about a
girl who fights with twenty-three other young people in a televised
battle to the death, mandated by her government as a way to control a
formerly revolutionary populace. Like most media texts, however, The
Hunger Games contains deeper connotations, including criticisms of the
Iraq War (Valby) and the hegemony of totalit.

Introduction

N MARCH 2012, THE FILM THE HUNGER GAMES WAS RELEASED IN
US theaters by independent film studio Lions Gate in the
third-largest US film premiere in history (Bowles). The film
—about a young girl’s life-or-death struggles in a dystopian
world—is based on the first book in a series by author Suzanne
Collins that remained in the top ten of the New York Times’s
“Children’s Series” best sellers list for more than four years.
Aimed at young adults, the film drew in the same young, largely
female audience who were fans of the Twilight film series1
(Bowles). Although the movie was a box office hit, a controversy
erupted when it hit theaters: many young The Hunger Games fans
who had read the book prior to seeing the film were shocked to
find African-American actors cast in some of the supporting roles.
Fans seemed particularly upset with a black actor playing the
supporting character “Rue,” and took to Twitter to express a
range of emotions, including surprise, disappointment, and
enmity.
The tweets are in sharp contrast to a society that increasingly
tries to identify itself as “postracial,” typically defined as moving
away from evaluative considerations of skin tone and ethnic iden-
tity (Thornton 425). As such, they invite comment beyond the

facile conclusion that this is an isolated occurrence fueled by a
few uneducated individuals. On the contrary, this event is a result
of more systemic issues, which becomes apparent when the Games’
controversy is situated within overlapping contexts that highlight
the complex relationship between race and commercial media.
First, the controversy transpires within emerging discussions of
the United States as a “postracial” society. Although polls have shown
that the election of the first black US president has not changed racial
attitudes significantly (Dowe), discussions of what it means to be pos-
tracial have been increasing in American news media, popular press,
and academia (Wise; Kaplan; McElroy; Wenner). The importance of
these conversations is underscored by the fact that almost all of the
tweets came from young individuals (Anderson), throwing into doubt
the belief that newer generations represent the vanguard of a “color
blind” society.
The Hunger Games Controversy: Fans’ Reaction to Race
Representations
In both book and film format, The Hunger Games is a multilayered cri-
tique of power and conflict. On a manifest level, the story is about a
girl who fights with twenty-three other young people in a televised
battle to the death, mandated by her government as a way to control a
formerly revolutionary populace. Like most media texts, however, The
Hunger Games contains deeper connotations, including criticisms of the
Iraq War (Valby) and the hegemony of totalit.

1) The document discusses a Marxist analysis of the Korean TV show Secret Garden, using Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony and the role of intellectuals.
2) Secret Garden portrays social class struggles in Korean society, with a rich male protagonist falling for a common female protagonist. This explores issues of achieving social status.
3) Using Gramsci's framework, the document analyzes how hegemony is exercised through the media, and the potential for media to both reinforce and challenge the existing social order through influencing mass consciousness.
Appropriating the Male Gaze in The Hunger Games The Rhetoric of a Resistant ...
The document summarizes an essay that analyzes how the film The Hunger Games appropriates the typical male gaze of Hollywood films to advance a resistant female perspective. It does this through Katniss Everdeen, the strong female protagonist, and by focusing on her power and agency rather than objectifying her. The essay argues this encourages audiences to question patriarchal power structures through seeing the story from a feminist point of view. It discusses how the film challenges traditional gender roles for action heroes and draws on feminist film theory about appropriating the male gaze.
6The movie-made Movementcivil rites of passageSharon .docx
This document provides a summary and analysis of how films have portrayed and represented the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. It argues that most films depict the Movement through the lens of individual, personal stories and relationships rather than as a large communal struggle. This reduces the historical events and ignores the larger political and social issues. As an example, it analyzes the 1994 film The Long Walk Home, which depicts the Montgomery Bus Boycott through the relationship between a black domestic worker and her white employer, sidelining the broader significance and black solidarity of the Movement.

- The document discusses how Claude Levi-Strauss's structural anthropological work on universal social structures and the importance of myths can help explain why film genres change over time. Specifically, it outlines how academic Jim Kitses applied Levi-Strauss's ideas to argue that genres, like myths, embody important social values and function as an important cultural formation revealing a society's values.
Feminist Film Theory
This document summarizes the history and key developments in feminist film theory from the 1960s to the present. It discusses the major theorists and texts that shifted the focus from class to examining feminine identity and gender construction. Theories analyzed how women were portrayed in films and the male gaze of the spectator. Psychoanalytic approaches examined concepts like scopophilia and how cinema reinforced patriarchal ideals. Later works addressed issues like bisexual spectatorship and challenged the notion that femininity must be defined in relation to masculinity.

The Power of Watching: The Everyday Voyeur in Popular Culture
1) Voyeurism, the gratification from seeing others unobserved, is a central aspect of popular culture through reality television, photography, literature and the internet.
2) During the Cold War era, lesbian pulp novels exploited American anxieties about communists and homosexuals, satisfying voyeuristic desires through a distanced perspective.
3) Reality television provides a god-like voyeuristic perspective, though participants know they are observed, and it can objectify people's lives for entertainment. Wide acceptance of voyeurism in culture risks manipulation and sadism.
Critique on Lynne Tirrell, Aesthetic Derogation: Hate Speech, Pornography, Ae...
This document discusses the complex issues around censorship of pornography and hate speech. It examines different perspectives on whether these can be considered art and the role of context. The absolutist view is described which sees words as having power to shape beliefs, while reclaimers argue terms can be redefined. Social harms of discrimination and oppression are outlined. The document also explores the inferential role theory of meaning and how point of view, not just content, is important. Debates around what constitutes pornography versus erotica are summarized. Overall, the document analyzes the challenging issues around aesthetics, ethics and censorship in these contexts.
How does contemporary representation compare to previous time periods
Contemporary representations of black British people in media have changed from previous eras in three key ways:
1) Earlier films from the 1950s-60s portrayed black immigrants as a "social problem" and threat to British society, seen through a white directorial lens, whereas now black British people are no longer solely represented as such.
2) Representations in the 1970s, like in Horace Ove's "Pressure", shifted to a black perspective showing issues like racism and discrimination, rather than a migrant perspective.
3) More recent films and TV shows like "Adulthood" and "Day 1" focus on disaffected youth across London influenced by black culture, moving
Lesson 3 - War of the Worlds Context
The document provides an overview of the sci-fi genre and analyzes multiple adaptations of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds across different time periods. It discusses how each version serves as an allegory for the fears and societal issues of its era, using aliens to represent feared "others" like Nazis, communists, or unknown threats. The adaptations consistently deal with themes of paranoia, fear of annihilation, and threats to the established social order from an
Pressure
Racial tensions erupted across British cities in the 1970s and 1980s, exacerbating tensions between first and second generation immigrants. Pressure and Burning an Illusion were made in this context to re-evaluate what it meant to be black in Britain from a militant perspective, as previous films took a more liberal, mainstream view of racial issues. Both films focus on the political awakening of young black British men and women experiencing issues like police harassment and limited opportunities, commenting on the changing social and cultural climate for black youth in 1970s Britain.

The document highlights several key individuals who contributed to the development of the internet including Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn who developed TCP/IP, Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau who created HTML and the World Wide Web, Robert Metcalfe who developed Ethernet, and Mark Andreessen who created the Mosaic web browser. It also mentions Vic Hayes' contribution to WiFi and notes Albert Gore and John Perry Barlow but does not specify their contributions to internet development.
Right-Wing Populism in Europe and the United States
This document defines and discusses the rise of right-wing populism in Europe and the United States. It outlines key elements of right-wing populism including emphasizing sovereignty of the people, advocating for ordinary citizens, attacking elites, ostracizing outsiders, and invoking traditional regions. Several prominent European right-wing populist party leaders are profiled, and factors explained for the rise of populism like slow economic growth, anti-globalization sentiments, and the refugee crisis. The document concludes that supporters of European right-wing populist parties are largely anti-immigration and anti-EU, and that continued economic struggles could exacerbate the movement's challenges to democracy.
The European Union: Challenges and Opportunities
The European Union faces several challenges, including sluggish economic growth, high youth unemployment, and the Eurozone debt crisis. The adoption of austerity policies to address budget shortfalls have slowed growth and increased unemployment in some countries. Rising populism and nationalism have increased opposition to EU policies and threatened the stability of the bloc. Events like the Greek debt crisis, Brexit referendum, and the migration crisis have further divided member states and weakened the EU. How the EU addresses these issues will impact its future as both an economic and political union.
Techinnovation
This document summarizes technological innovation in the age of the Internet. It discusses the exponential growth of Internet hosts and users since 1981. It describes how the Internet has lowered barriers for forming groups and collaborating across distances. Many human activities have migrated online, blurring regulatory boundaries between technologies and industries. While a few large companies like Google and Facebook dominate certain markets, smaller innovative firms can still thrive if they remain nimble. The document outlines several policies that impact technological innovation, such as antitrust laws, net neutrality regulations, infrastructure subsidies, and intellectual property regimes. It also notes some transatlantic issues between the US and Europe regarding these topics.
International politics in the age of the internet
The document discusses how the internet has affected international politics in several ways:
1) It has given individuals and non-state actors greater ability to organize and express views, as seen during events like the Arab Spring.
2) It has increased transparency of governments and institutions through tools like blogs, YouTube, WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden's leaks.
3) However, it has also allowed greater government surveillance of citizens' online activities.
4) The rise of cyber warfare and threats to cyber security are new issues governments must address.
Net neutrality
The document discusses the origins and evolution of the net neutrality debate in the United States. It outlines key events and perspectives from both supporters and opponents of net neutrality. These include the initial coining of the term in 2002, various FCC rulings and policy statements, lobbying efforts, and legal challenges around issues like the Comcast throttling case and FCC regulations. The debate remains ongoing with shifting positions of government agencies and industry groups.

1) The PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) aimed to curb online piracy but faced strong opposition.
2) Internet companies mobilized users against the bills through website blackouts and petitions, convincing many in Congress the bills could damage the internet.
3) With bipartisan support eroding, both bills were shelved in January 2012 due to concerns they could undermine free speech, national security, and internet stability.

This document contains summaries of several topics related to politics and control of the internet. It discusses protests in Poland against the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), China's structure for controlling internet access, a correlation between internet users and press freedom in China, concerns about how the internet may impact diversity of political views and comparisons to traditional media, types of user-generated content on the internet, and questions about how certain groups may be helped or hurt by an open internet model.

Economic globalization involves the integration of markets for goods, services, and factors of production across national borders. It has increased the importance of international supply chains. ICTs like the internet have reduced the costs of coordinating activities globally, similar to past infrastructure innovations.

Jeffrey A. Hart from Indiana University presented a paper at the annual meeting of the International Studies Association in San Diego, California in April 2012. The paper discussed how different international relations theories like realism, liberal institutionalism, and constructivism approach issues related to information and communication technologies (ICTs) and cybersecurity. It argued that theories need to better account for how ICTs impact the diffusion of information, empower non-state actors, and potentially transform power structures and identities. The paper also examined questions around how ICTs influence globalization processes and production networks.

The document discusses the challenges of transitioning to a green economy including obstacles related to ideas, implementation, politics, and international cooperation. It notes the negative externalities of fossil fuel consumption and analyzes potential solutions like a green new deal as well as debates around climate science and pricing carbon. Implementation problems, varying public support across countries, and challenges of past international agreements on climate change are also summarized.

The document discusses the history of net neutrality in the United States. It describes how (1) the issue first emerged in 2002; (2) supporters argued the open internet must be preserved while opponents said regulation was unnecessary; and (3) the policy debate continued through the 2000s with various laws and court rulings affecting the FCC's ability to enforce net neutrality principles.
Ipe16
The document discusses several topics related to globalization and a "flat world" including: America needing to produce knowledge workers to succeed; other countries racing to the top not the bottom; potential "races to the bottom" in areas like taxes and regulations; shortages of scientists and engineers in the US; the potential of green energy technology; criticisms of corporate capitalism; and examples of pro- and anti-corporate websites focused on large brands like McDonald's, Starbucks, and Nike.
Ipe15
The document summarizes the various groups that make up the anti-globalization movement, including organized labor, environmental groups, feminists, indigenous peoples, and anarchists. It discusses why each of these groups opposes aspects of economic globalization, such as fears over loss of jobs and wages for labor groups, concerns about the environment and indigenous groups' resources, and a belief that globalization supports patriarchal politics. Large anti-globalization demonstrations have taken place at forums like G8 summits and WTO meetings.
