The sizes of supermodels and actresses often influence teenage girls who are actively s
8、eeking to find an identity to believe they have to be thin to exemplify beauty. Magazine advertisements encourage teenage girls to think their hair needs to be long or short, red, blond or brunette whatever the flavor of the month in order to be considered beautiful. In order to minimize the effect
9、of these messages, Boise State University psychology professor, Mary Pritchard, writing for “ The Huffington Post,“ praises parents who limit their teens exposure to various media outlets. Teens should be taught to value their own definitions of beauty above all else. Glorifying Negative Behaviors:
10、Negative Movies and television programs often show characters using drugs and alcohol and engaging in violent behaviors. At a developmental stage when teens seek greater freedom and independence, the glorification of drugs, alcohol, risky sexual and violent behaviors in the media make it challenging

24、 development of new media has been the main force accelerating the trend of globalization during the last few decades. With its distinctive and unique nature, new media has brought human interaction and society to a highly interconnected and complex level. Through this convergence the mutual enhance
25、ment of new media and globalization has led to the transformation of almost all the aspects of human society. New media being considered “new“ is not only because of its successful integration in the form of the traditional interpersonal and mass media, but also because of its new functions that ena
26、ble individuals to equally control messages in interpersonal media, which allows them to control messages in mass media. New media functionally allows people to interact with multiple persons simultaneously with the ability to individualize messages in the process of interaction. New media enjoys fi
27、ve distinctive characteristics. First, digitalization is the most prominent feature of new media. New media dematerializes media text by converting data from analog into digital form, which allows all kind of mathematical operations. New media also makes it possible for a large amount of information
28、 to be retrieved, manipulated, and stored in a very limited space. Second, new media converges the forms and functions of information, media, electronic communication, and electronic computing. The convergence power of new media can be easily demonstrated by the emergence of the Internet in terms of
29、 its powerful function embedded in computer information technologies and broadband communication networks. This also leads to the industry convergence displayed by the constant merger of big media companies and the product and service convergence evidenced by the successful connection and combinatio
30、n of medias material, product, and service in the media industry. Third, the interactive function of new media provides users a great freedom in producing and reproducing the content and form of the information during the interaction. In addition, the interactivity of new media makes the interaction
31、 among different networks and the retrieving of information through different operational systems, both available and convenient. The freedom in controlling the information endows new media a great power in the process of human communication. Fourth, the hypertextuality of new media brings forth a g
32、lobal network center in which information can freely move around and spontaneously interconnect. This global network phenomenon has begun to rebuild a new life experience for human beings, which in turn will lead the transformation of economic activities, cultural patterns, interactional styles, and
33、 other aspects of human society. Finally, the cyberspace formed by new media allows people to generate virtual experience and reality. The invisible cyberspace not only induces a gap between reality and virtuality, but also effectuates the free alternation of ones gender, personality, appearance, an
34、d occupation. The formation of virtual community that crosses all the boundaries of human society definitely will challenge the way we perceive reality and have traditionally defined identity. With these distinct features new media pushes the trend of globalization to its highest level in human hist
35、ory, which involves the expansion, stretching, intensification, and acceleration of social activities in both objective/material and subjective/human consciousness levels, or different levels of human society, including the entire world, a specific nation, a specific industry or organization, and an
36、 individual. The powerful impact of globalization, enhanced by the advent of new media, is revealed in its dynamic, pervasive, interconnected, hybridized, and individually powerful attributes. First, globalization is a dialectically dynamic process, which is caused by the pushing and pulling between
37、 the two forces of cultural identity and cultural diversity, or between localization and universalization. Second, globalization is universally pervasive. It moves like air penetrating into every aspect of human society and influences the way we live, think, and behave. Third, globalization is holis
38、tically interconnected. It builds a huge matrix in which all components are interconnected with networks. Fourth, globalization represents a culturally hybridized state, which allows cultural transmission via new media to take place at a very rapid rate by permeating and dissolving human boundaries.
39、 Finally, globalization increases individual power in the new media society, which pluralizes the world by recognizing the ability and importance of individual components. Together, the dialectically dynamic, universally pervasive, holistically interconnected, culturally hybridized, and individually
40、 powerful characteristics of globalization enhanced and deepened by the stimulus and push of the emergence of new media has led to revolutionary changes in peoples thinking and behaviors, redefined the sense of community, and restructured human society. The impact of the integration of new media and
41、 globalization can be summarized into five precise effects, namely, a shrinking world, the compression of time and space, close interaction in different aspects of society, global connectivity, and accelerated local/global competition/ cooperation. In other words, boundaries of human societies in te
42、rms of space, time, scope, structure, geography, function, profession, value, and beliefs are swiftly changing and transforming into a new pattern of similarities and interconnectedness. 2 【正确答案】 The rapid development of new media has greatly accelerated the trend of globalization, which has led to
43、the transformation of almost all the aspects of human society. New media enjoys five distinctive characteristics. First, digitalization is the most prominent feature. Second, new media converges the forms and functions of information, media, electronic communication, and electronic computing. Third,

The law is important because it acts as a guideline as to what is accepted in society. Without it there would be conflicts between social groups and communities. It is pivotal that we follow them.
