social networking , mass media

Globalization offers clear economic opportunities and benefits but comes with substantial social cost that often appear to affect young people disproportionately, given their tremendous transitional status with in an uncertain and rapidly evolving global context. the youth explore the economic impact of globalization on young people, with specific examples provided in country level and more localized case studies. The phenomenon of cultural studies and it connection with the youth culture is then examined, with particular attention given to the role and media resources and the local global synthesis that has occurred in identity formation. The final section returns to the ambiguities and contractions that characterize this phenomenon, providing assessment of its different implications for various groups ,its contribution to local global tensions and its tendency to simultaneously promote linkages and divisons , inclusion and exclusion and correctness and isolation . the final conclusion is that young people’s experience with the globalization has been negative thus far. effort are therefore needed to ensure that they become active and production global citizens.
