Seeing as this should be my summer "holidays", I have been looking at some movies that I would like to watch. One of them was "12 years a Slave". The synopsis says it is based in 1850's, on a true story about an african american man being forced into slavery (cotton plantation). This shows a negative side of globalisation.
It's important to recognise how the definition of a "global citizen" has changed over the years and how once change was not always embraced.
Media influences our education about the world and its history. But we have to think to ourselves.......is this information biased ???? Has it been altered by the presenter to cover the truth?
