CREATIVITY AND NEW MEDIA
Below is an original picture of one of my favorite super-cars. I decided to use this photo to show an example of how new media and digital technology tools can alter a photo. I used the edit feature from the phone galery as a tool to change the original image into a sketch. I turned the original image into a sketch by changing the saturation, blend mode, Gaussian blur, and inverting the original image.

Clash of Civilizations Let me begin my micro-report with the words of the
Chairman of the United Nations. In January of 2016 at the UN General
Assembly, Ban Ki-moon said that the number of illiterate people in the
world is enormous, according to Reuters, “More than 750 million adults in
our world are illiterate – and two-thirds of them are women. Some 250
million primary school age children do not have a grasp of basic literacy
skills while 124 million children and adolescents are out of school. All of
these people, whatever their age, deserve the chance to learn to read. When
we give them that opportunity, we will create more productive, stable and
secure societies for all. I call for Governments and partners, including in
the private sector, to join forces for universal literacy as an essential
component of the future we want.” I believe that these words largely
explain the findings that Mr. Samuel P. Huntington makes in his work Clash
of Civilizations. Traditionally, in those moments when people cannot find
the right answers, they tend to turn to God. Deep poverty and illiteracy
are usually a fertile soil for religious fanaticism. I have been long
interested in this issue and having closely studied Clash of Civilizations,
I started to think that the main conflict between the West and the East
lies beyond political, economic or cultural disagreements. The main issue
that separates two worlds is religion. Religion is an excellent tool in the
hands of the mankind. Though religion has accelerated countless
breakthroughs throughout human history, it also possesses a dark side in
terms of its influence on people all over world. I support Mr. Samuel P.
Huntington position as for why civilizations clash, “Differences among
civilizations are too basic in that civilizations are differentiated from
each other by history, language, culture, tradition, and, most important,
religion. These fundamental differences are the product of centuries, so
they will not soon disappear,” and “Due to the economic modernization and
social change, people are separated from longstanding local identities.
Instead, religion has replaced this gap, which provides a basis for
identity and commitment that transcends national boundaries and unites
civilizations.” Faith and religion are very different in nature, and the
degree of personal awareness of this concept varies greatly. Religion was
at the origin of the culture of various regions and nationalities on Earth,
and religion and culture are very closely related. Therefore, I believe
that on the cultural conflict is the next in terms of importance after the
religious one. The cultural conflict between Western and Eastern cultures
is nowhere near its resolution as of now. In anticipation of your question
“how does this relate to our class and to what we are studying?” I will say
that the answer is simple. In any confrontation of interests, particularly
on the geopolitical level, the media has always played an imperative role.
It is no wonder the media is often called the Fourth Estate – the
expression defines the media’s influence in the society. Despite the fact
that media does not have any real legal power, it is a powerful mechanism
for manipulating large masses of people. Therefore, the media plays a
crucial role in the opposition of the Western and Eastern cultures.
