week 6: GLobal culture and ethical design.

This week we learned about Globalisation - the act of communities and cultures being interconnected via improved communication on a global scale. An example of how globalisation has become such a prevalent thing is the rise of the internet, as this allows us to view other cultures and vice versa, creating a thing called 'cultural hybridity' - the mixing of certain cultures to create a new sub-culture or category, or even the clashing of those cultures.

There are 3 key themes that link into Globalisation, which are the Global Village, digital integration, and trade without borders. These are explained below in my notes from the lecture.
