EXPLANATION

THE GLOBAL VILLAGE

More and more often, the trem global village is used to describe the world and its people. In a typical village, however, everyone else, and the people face the same kinds of problems. How can the world be a village, when it is home to almost 6 bilion people? Political and technological changes in the past century have made the global village possible.

Political changes

The years following World War II seemed to promise peace and more equality among people. For example, the United Nations was founded in 1945 to help countries resolve disputes peacefully. This promise was soon shattered, however, by the Cold War tension between the United States and the Soviet Union. These two superpowers engaged in an arms race, spending huge sums of money on weapons. The other nations of the world were split into two “sides” and the world was frozen in a perpetual state of hostility, seemingly on the brink of destruction.

It was not until the collapse of communist governments in the Soviet Union and eastern Europe between 1989 and 1991 that the Cold War ended and the political climate changed. The end of Cold War tension made the global village more politicaly possible by opening new channels of communicantion between nations.

Tecnological changes

Technologically, the greatest contributor to the global village is the microchipan electronic circurit on a tiny chip. The microchip has made satelites and computers possible. These froms of high-tech communications allow news and ideas to travel quickly from country to country, making people aware of their neighbors around the globe in dramatic new ways. Through the internet, we can get information from computers anywhere. Through television programs transmitted by satellite, we are exsposed to many cultures.

What will happen as we move into the twenty first country and beyond? Almost certainly the development of the global village will countinue. Not only is this possible, but the challenges that the world faces. For example, pollution, population growth, and conflicts among peoples will make it neessary.
