QUESTION 1
Cross-cultural communication is changed through the use of Internet based digital communication tools (texting, Face book, blogging, Twitter, email, etc.). Evaluate at least one aspect of those changes. Do you think they make life better or worse (or both)? You MUST use at least one academic reference from the course-reading list to develop or evaluate your perspective. In addition, it is helpful to identify one global or cross-cultural event (with reference) that provides evidence to support your evaluation. This is not an essay. Point form and other compressed writing styles are acceptable as long as you use grammatically correct English.
