Understanding the Question: This question focuses on the impact of technology on global communication, requiring students to consider both the benefits and drawbacks. It also asks for an evaluation of potential solutions to mitigate negative consequences.
Possible Approach: A strong answer would:
- Define global communication and identify key technological developments (e.g., internet, social media, mobile phones).
- Discuss the positive consequences (e.g., increased access to information, facilitated collaboration, cultural exchange).
- Discuss the negative consequences (e.g., spread of misinformation, cyberbullying, privacy concerns, digital divide).
- Evaluate potential courses of action to address negative impacts (e.g., media literacy programs, regulations on social media, promoting digital inclusion).
Possible Course of Action: A course of action could be the development and implementation of comprehensive media literacy programs in schools and communities to help people critically evaluate online information. Another could be enacting stricter regulations on social media platforms to combat the spread of misinformation and hate speech.
