 Marshall McLuhan Foresees Global Village
Marshall McLuhan was the first person to popularize the concept of a global village and to consider its social effects.
McLuhan chose the insightful phrase "global village" to highlight his observation that an electronic nervous system (the media) was rapidly integrating the planet -- events in one part of the world could be experienced from other parts in real-time, which is what human experience was like when we lived in small villages.
McLuhan's ideas have permeated the way we in the global village think about technology and media to such an extent that we are generally no longer aware of the revolutionary effect his concepts had when they were first introduced.

Gill: Globalization is contributing to the emergence of a differently constituted self and social morality: a self and a social morality which no longer needs to situate itself within a progress narrative.
Yet, because globalization is an ambivalent and uneven process, some sections of the society are feeling cheated and displaced by change and are increasingly attracted to right-wing and fundamentalist ideas and movements which want to return to old certainties.
