Discuss possible implications of media as an important force behind the globalization of adolescence. Provide two related examples from research discussed in Chapter 12
What will be an ideal response
Widespread international distribution of media has resulted in adolescents the world over being familiar with the same television shows, music, etc. This has implications in terms of socialization factors: o in traditional cultures, adolescents are growing up in socialization contexts very different from that of parents. o media provides information on what "global village" of their future will be like. • Example: Davis and Davis (1995) found that amongst Moroccan youth, narrow gender socialization was replicated via differential gender access to new media. • Example: Liechty's (1995) Nepal study (Cultural Focus Box, p. 390) • Example: Condon's (1988, 1995) study of the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic regarding the introduction of television to the community.
