Document Summary
Enduring/constructed differences- the idea that globalization is hardening cultural differences. Exogenous- something that comes from outside the system. Example- chinese government ruining local chinese culture through urbanization. Cultural imperialism- how culture is shaped by economic and political power. Marxist paradigm argues that the class which has control of the means of material production also controls mental production. Media-cultural imperialism is a subset of the general system of imperialism. The culture industries are in the same sphere as the economic and political sphere. From american cultural imperialism to transnational cultural imperialism. Solution might be worse than ownership (cable, internet) ownership the disease. Calls mcchesney a marxist, journalism to entertain or to flaws in media ownership but argues that corporate ownership please mass audiences? go about handling it differently is not necessarily a blind evil. Ideological limits- govt is not extreme measures and tighter work critical enough of businesses control on ownership.
