Documentary Abstract
Our documentary looks at globalization and its effects on modern society and local economies through the eyes of online dating. Online dating is a phenomenon that has been enabled by the marks of globalization. As Thomas Friedman outlined in the Lexus and Olive Tree, The marks of globalization are defining technologies (computerization, miniaturization, digitization, satellite communications, fiber optics and the Internet).
Dating has taken on a new form in the age of globalization. Now it is possible for people to meet regardless of where they are in the world. The concepts of online dating fit perfectly into Friedman’s marks of globalization in that defining technologies have opened a “brave new world” of communication. In our modern society, online dating has become a key example of globalization via the Internet. Now people are able to communicate worldwide through technology based networking sites in order to date others they wouldn’t have had access to before the era of globalization.
Furthermore, globalization has made an impact on almost every facet of modern society. Not only has it turned our economies into a global market place, but it has completely changed the venues as well as the speed of communication. For example, online dating has impacted local economies by becoming a multimillion dollar industry, with over 100 different dating websites available to people nationwide. These sites offer dating resources to people of almost every ethnic, racial, religious, or common interest group available.
In conclusion, this documentary will help make the connection between technological and social communication by giving you a tangible example of globalization in action. Using relevant, real life examples and opinions from your peers. Enjoy!....
