Globalisation AND Youth Culture Globalisation: ‘the intensification of worldwide

social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa’. (Bourn, 2008)

How does this effect Young People? Affected by globalisation on an everyday basis They are the main targets of global consumer

cultures Globalisation impacts upon young people in

complex ways and forces them to constantly re-think and revise their sense of identity and place within society. Young people’s lives are constantly being influenced by new trends, be they cultural, technological or social.

(Bourn, 2008), (Slideshare.net, 2014)

Positive and Negative impacts of Globalisation on Youth

Positives- For Karolina, 27, from Sweden

(studying in South Africa), through the opening up of borders – has enabled her to move from her country of origin to other countries in search of work.

- Ayshah, 26, from Kenya: originally from a central region of Kenya, but due to a lack of opportunities there, she has now settled in another Kenyan coastal region which generates wealth from foreign tourists, and where it was easier for her to secure employment.

Negatives- Muhamad, 20, from Indonesia:

potential to increase competition for already scarce jobs

- Jack: globalization has contributed “labour fragmentations.”

- Big, 24, from Zimbabwe believes that globalization is benefiting developed economies.

(Youth, 2014)

“The GLOBAL is now the LOCAL”

Douglas Bourne, 2008

The internet and use of new technologies have been a major factor in enabling young people to recreate their own identities (France, 2007).

Week 6: A Clash of Civilisation

Islam VS the West

What is a Clash of Civilisation?

After the cold war ended in 1991, the notion of a “clash of civilizations”—simplistically summarized as a global split between Muslims and the rest of the world—defined debates over the world’s new ideological divide.

Islam VS the West

The clash between the West and Islam will be vital to the course of world events over the coming decades.

People who are too much alike cannot easily live together, and the same goes for cultures as well.

Islam and Christianity (which serves as culturally uniting factor for the West)

"The west is now at an extraordinary peak of power in relation to other civilizations“

(Atheism.about.com, 2014)

‘A clash of Civilizations is UNAVOIDABLE’

fighting for EQUALITY

Beginning of time: Struggles endured by Women

Women in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries were challenged with expressing themselves that generally refused to grant merit to women's views.

By the end of the eighteenth century, women were increasingly able to speak out against injustices.

Action Aid:

Women and girls are the poorest of the poor. This is because of the extreme forms of discrimination that persist in many parts of the world.

Story of Tahira: (Pakistan) Pakistani women use jirga to fight for rights

"Our society is a male-dominated society, and our men treat our women like slaves," said the jirga founder, Tabassum Adnan. "They don't give them their rights and they consider them their property. Our society doesn't think we have the right to live our own lives.

Tahira's husband, mother-in-law, and father-in-law were acquitted this month of attacking her with acid. Her mother plans to appeal against that verdict, with help from a new ally - Pakistan's first female jirga.

Kurdish Women in Syria = Making a stand

"I want them to follow my path, but they need time," she says, smiling. "When I lived at home, I was just a well-behaved girl. Here, I not only learned how to carry a gun, I learned how to speak. I became a woman.“ Ahin.
