Q1: Define Cyberimperialism vs cultural imperialism.
cultural imperialism- a core nation that is stronger than other country in economic and political,which spread their ideas to the weaker nation.It happen when people think that they are more develop,so they tend to follow them such ad adopted their value.
eg. Someone think that if they married to American, they are more higher status and superior than others.(the one follow their culture,value and fashion until forget about their own culture)
cyberimperialism- is mean that people using internet as their tools to reach imperialism. Knowledge is the power in cyberimperialism, knowledge here is mean internet(knowledge of technology), when people have the power and knowledge, they able to create inequality because they able to control the cyber world.
* they able to control the cyber is because of they have the technology first, and they have the better equipment and speed than others.
Q2: Explain with examples how core nations achieved cyber imperialism?
Core nation dominate peripheral nations because all nation must expand their influence to avoid decline and peripheral nations simply must remain at an increasing disadvantages in term of power.The purpose of them to do so is to avoid people forget about their culture.
Q3: What is hegemonic discourse imperialism on the Net?
Hegemonic discourse imperialism mean that that the core nation using internet to create imperialism by the way you look at the world. Eg. you go to internet and tell people about your version of story, you just tell your side story but did not tell full version of the story. It is inequality because people is just know one side of story but do not know others side, so the judgement they give is just based on one side.
Q4: Discuss how core nations achieve Pericentric imperialism?
Pericentric imperialism is equal to economic imperialism.Peripheral nations are dominated due to classes within their borders who find profit in collaborating with the core powers of other nations.It mean that the core nation is using the sources in the peripheral nation to selling back to them(peripheral nation) in a higher price.
Eg. petrol-they extract the oil and sell back the petrol to us in double price(because we do not have the technology, do not have access and not understand about the things while they can get a lot of information about it by using internet)

People like to view it online in stead of buying DVD or VCD is because it is free if they view it online. Besides, since they view it online, no people can recognize them and they can view it as much as they want.
the purpose of social activism and movement is :
1~ representation-eg. woman organization,they represent women and they voice out their opinion to let others know are they thinking.
2~information distribution-to spread some information,eg. some organization tell men that they can also get breast cancer but not only women will get it.

violence equal to virus is because they both are dangerous and they will change from time to time, example like their tactics will change.

Advantages and disadvantages of social networking
Social networking is a network that allow people to express their feeling, thought and also what ever that they want to share to others. It is work based on certain structure which is include having profile, friends, blog posts and it is usually have their own unique to attract others to join them. Nowadays, there are many social network sites (SNSs) being create such as Facebook, Twitter, Plurk and etc.
Well, since everyone is like to using those social networking, lets discuss about is it good or bad to using the social networking. Lets start with the advantage first.
Social networking is used as a tools to make new friends and communicate with other. It is very convenience for user to communicate and it save a lot of time. Since everyone is busy for their own study or work, they are seldom has the opportunity to met each other face to face, but those social networking now is helping us to keep in touch with our friends and we can always know their recent life while we are reading their status and photo updates. Besides, it helps us make new friends easily by just press a key and chat with them.
In addition, SNSs work as a platform for user to promote their business for free. User can write down their information on the sites, and upload some photo to show their product (as an example).
Others advantages include:
- -To get job (people show their company and hiring information on page)
- -To pass time
- - To release stress
- -etc………
Next, I gonna talk about the disadvantage of social networking.
Since everybody like to using SNSs, so among the users, they must involve some bad guy. Those people will steal others information include their photo to create a new account to doing something bad. This will bring a very bad consequence to the users (original one), such as damage his/her image.
On the other hand, while users are too rely on the SNSs, their social skill will be diminish. Since they like to use social networking to communicate, they might prefer it as their primary communication tool and next, lack of face to face conversation will happen and at the end, their social skill being diminish.
Others disadvantages are:
- -No privacy
- - Addicted on it
- - Killing traditional/ formal language
- - Etc….
As a conclusion, social networking has both advantages and disadvantages and it is all depend on how the user used it, if users use it wisely it should be alright. So, everyone should think before they do anything and responsible for what they had do.
