Globalization

2017-02-06T21:09:44Z

Gcreelman:

Globalization is a set of interacting social, political, and economic processes that connect the world in new ways, yielding multifaceted changes in the way that connected people view themselves and global issues. <ref>Ott, Brian L., and Robert L. Mack. Critical Media Studies: An Introduction. Chichester, U.K.: Wiley-Blackwell, 2010. Print.</ref>

==Background==
Many economists and politicians alike use the term "globalization" to refer to the creation of global economic markets. When these markets include cultural products, such as music, film, and television, their expansion raises fears of cultural imperialism. <ref>Ott, Brian L., and Robert L. Mack. Critical Media Studies: An Introduction. Chichester, U.K.: Wiley-Blackwell, 2010. Print.</ref> An example of this is the permeation of Western beauty standards into other cultures because of Western media.

Formatting

2017-02-01T00:12:14Z

Gcreelman:

You can format your text by using wiki markup. This consists of normal characters like asterisks, apostrophes or equal signs which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in ''italic'', you include it in two pairs of apostrophes like <code><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></code>.

== Text formatting markup ==

== Paragraphs ==

MediaWiki ignores single line breaks. To start a new paragraph, leave an empty line. You can force a line break within a paragraph with the HTML tag <code> </code>.

== HTML tags ==

Some HTML tags are allowed in MediaWiki, for example <code><code></code>, <code><div></code>, <code><nowiki></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>. These apply anywhere you insert them.

== Inserting symbols ==

Symbols and other special characters not available on your keyboard can be inserted in a multitude of ways. Many [http://www.howtogeek.com/210824/how-to-quickly-type-special-characters-on-any-computer-smartphone-or-tablet/ Operating Systems and browsers] allow you to insert special characters through a menu option or Operating System panel. Additionally, you can use the WikiEditor to insert them into the edit screen.

As a last resort, you can use a special sequence of characters. Those sequences are called HTML entities. For example, the following sequence (entity) '''&rarr;''' when inserted will be shown as <ins>right arrow</ins> HTML symbol → and '''&mdash;''' when inserted will be shown as an <ins>em dash</ins> HTML symbol —.
----
''Note:Hover over any character to find out the symbol that it produces. Some symbols not available in the current font will appear as empty squares.''

See the list of all HTML entities on the Wikipedia article [[wikipedia:List of HTML entities|List of HTML entities]]. Additionally, MediaWiki supports two non-standard entity reference sequences: <code>&רלמ;</code> and <code>&رلم;</code> which are both considered equivalent to <code>&rlm;</code> which is a [[wikipedia:Right-to-left mark|right-to-left mark]]. (Used when combining right to left languages with left to right languages in the same page.)

=== Nowiki for HTML ===

<<nowiki />nowiki />
can prohibit (HTML) tags:
* <nowiki><<</nowiki>nowiki />pre>  → <<nowiki/>pre>
But ''not'' & symbol escapes:
* &<<nowiki />nowiki />amp;  → &
To print & symbol escapes as text, use "<tt>&amp;</tt>" to replace the "&" character (eg. type "<tt>&amp;nbsp;</tt>", which results in "<tt>&nbsp;</tt>").
