Information Society and Organizational Communication

Content

Objective

The world is globalized, on economic and cultural sense. Political, cultural and economic structures as well as they try to adapt to the globalization, they also resists to that. Since the 1970s, there is a frequently repeated detection telling that the world is turning into a global village. Thanks in part to the rapid development of new communication technologies, today's societies are directly having face to that future perspective seen as a utopia. In the global world, trade, economics, communication and culture are not shaped anymore according to the codes of the past. Social, cultural, economic and communicative possibilities of co-operation are increasing between cultures and nations. The cases such as the global market, global culture, global economy, global environmental awareness, global citizenship arise. This course will be discussed in the context of these new cases.
