Group 1(Clement + Keith)
Summary of findings -

During the discussion we basically let them express their own ideas first and then provide the definition clement and i came up with. At last we gave them 2 questions to start off our discussion. The first one is "How has globalization and broadcast media impacted your daily life". I find one answer particular interesting, by watching Simpsons, he had adapted the American culture and fashion. Therefore, even just a TV show can make major change in your life. The second question we asked them was "Do you think that the process of globalization has led to the advancement of broadcast media OR the changes in broadcast media has sped up globalization." Basically they all thought that it works both ways because if one is advancing, the other one will be influenced as well!

Globalization is the connection due to our advancement in technology which has made communication travel faster and easier. Broadcast media is a form of information of opinions reaching to a selected group of people; for example: internet, podcasts, radio, blogs, websites, phone calls, texting, fax, email, etc.

All the websites provide and contain a similarity of news being broadcast freely into the public by anyone. "Crowd Powered News" as NowPublic refers to as is a great tagline referring to the type of broadcasting. These people are witnesses of what news may come upon by their own opinion. Since this is the publics own opinion, they are much easier to understand since they are not professional news writer. The positive aspect about these following websites is that you are able to grasp many different people's point of view and many different types of news all over the world. The negative aspects is that the stories may be bias and inappropriate at some cases.

Computer, satellites, and the internet has made our world much fast to communicate with each other. Everyone is able to play a part about broadcasting news. You can be the person who writes the articles or the person who reads the articles. The problem of how we have changed about receiving information is that we feel cut off from the world if we are not able to receive any form of news or information for a few days. We have become a more culturally aware society. The process of globalization has **not** led to the vast changes in the digital broadcast media because the changes were not greatly affected. Just more methods to digitally broadcast information. The advancement of digital broadcast media has sped up the process of globalization because of the tools we are able to use to transfer information.

We also asked our 'audience' some open ended question such as what their favorite type of broadcast media was and why they thought it was popular. Surprisingly, no one said TV or radio, we all received our news mainly from online sources This may be because of the availability (can look up any time, search any topic) of it and the fact that you are not constantly interrupted by advertisements, usually.
