Abstract
The writer of this paper contends that the reason the internet is such a big part of globalization is due to the fact that for the first time in history, any individual in any part of the world can communicate in a completely uncensored way over the entire planet. This paper focuses on the combination of nationalism and isolationism within the realm of the internet. This paper examines the advantages of nationalism that began to flourish, thanks in large part to internet technology, as the first world nations and the rest of the industrialized world separated itself from the less capable or developed nations. This paper analyzes the numerous aspects of the internet which are far different from other mediums as it provides a way to present information in a variety of approaches, each uniquely different and targeted to a specific audience. The paper also discusses the downside to the internet and advanced technology, in that it has become a source of isolationism in many third world countries. The writer claims that internet access on a global scale has a definite negative stigma which has been termed the 'digital divide.' This paper examines how the movement of globalization and strong nationalism has isolated third world nations. The writer contends that while nationalism flourishes, attention must be given to the those third world countries that have become more and more isolated due to their inability to bring technology to their citizens.

From the Paper
"The internet is basically a way for organizations, parties and movements to present them selves in the same way as we would look at a magazine, newspaper, radio shows or television presentations. The unique aspects of the Internet that is different from these other mediums because it provides a way to present information in a plethora of ways, each way uniquely different for however the target audiences may be. In the same respect, the Internet can personalize 'homepages,' or web sites to also present a very individual message for different audiences. The Internet, therefore, is a much more public and at the same time personal provider of information. This also entails that a majority of the Internet is completely dominated by individual users such as newsgroups, chats, BBS while other parts are completely commercial business related."

Abstract
The writer of this paper examines the pros and cons of relying so heavily on the rapidly advancing electronic communication that's so readily available. This paper discusses the impact that the internet has on our daily lives as well as the mixed reactions and assumptions as to the real capacity of its ability to bring about changes in society. The writer ponders whether the experiences and actions of an individual in cyberspace are actually influenced by his/her everyday-life experiences. This paper contends that the internet is a tool to disseminate information and enhance communication and is beyond being just an alternative means of distributing information and communication as it has the capacity to contribute in the transformation of spatial and temporal organization of life. This well-researched and informative paper details how the internet may be used as a tool to advocate a nation's claim to self-determination. In the case of the Tibetans, the official website of the Tibetan government, that is in exile, aims to foster communion among Tibetans worldwide as well as to lobby their claim for self-determination in a global political realm that they are able to reach via the internet. Another example is the case of the Chiapas rebellion in which the internet was used by the Zapatistas to mobilize support locally in Mexico as well as internationally. This paper also discusses the benefits of this advanced technology in developing countries where a wide gap, called the digital divide, currently exists.

From the Paper
"In defining what a virtual community is, Wilbur argues that it is not advisable that the concept of virtual community is fitted into some known social reality. Old concepts should not be used in defining new phenomena. It is fine that a rich concept has many definitions. Every meaning that we ascribe to the concept of virtual community is a construct based on how the concept appeals to us. For Foster, communities found in the Internet are virtual but may not be sufficiently communal. For Slevin believes that virtual communities' and textual cyberspaces' existence depends on real people and real organizations. Cybernations are referred to as "non-territorially-bound communities." According to Hamilakis, although it is believed that the Internet is a medium that transgresses national and other boundaries, hence, defying the ideology of seclusion we call nationalism, the Internet is actually used as a tool to reproduce nationalist discourse."

Control of the Internet, 2006.

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of the Domain Name System and ICANN before analyzing the arguments both for and against ICANN control. The paper goes on to consider the strength of the United Nations as an alternative. It is concluded that there is little evidence that the United Nations has the desire or capacity to take over control of the Internet. Therefore on the final analysis of the evidence, it is proposed that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) be allowed to continue managing the Internet's infrastructure. However, it is noted that for ICANN to be successful in the future it must undergo a series of reforms, including a strong separation from the United States government, in order to make it a more accountable and internationally representative corporation.

From the Paper
"Whilst the Internet was created by the United States and has its historical management strongly linked to the United States, since the opening of the network to commercial interests in 1995 the internet had existed in an International system and as a global resource, and thus must be seen in this context. In order to better understand the current situation and debate surrounding the management of the internet this essay will analyse the information and literature being produced from a range of academics, government and non-government organisations, and will then assess whether ICANN should maintain control or whether the United Nations should, in its capacity as a multi-governmental institution, take over the responsibilities of managing the internet currently entrusted to ICANN."

From the Paper
"Innovative Internet technology gives pedophiles the opportunity to exchange information about children in an organized environment (Faulkner, 1997). By using the Internet, they can meet in chat rooms and educate one another on how to commit this crime. Over the Internet, pedophiles exchange plans and ideas about how to meet, attract, and exploit children, -- and how to lure the parents of these children into a false sense of security about their presence within the family structure. Many Internet sites host online "How To" seminar in pedophilia activities, whether the site managers know it or not."

Abstract
This paper explains that the security problems of the Internet largely are due to the design structure of the Internet; there is no central hub to control information and thus no rules on regulation. The author believes the government finds itself incapable of passing any sort of control measures on the use of the Internet because the users have all the power to control or regulate user discipline. The paper stress that, to find and assess Internet security involving hackers and breakers-in, partnerships within the concerned industry must be formed, whereby, each partner helps the other in case of a breach in security.
From the Paper
"It was originally known as ?Darpanet? and was a defense device to aid the Government in the eventuality of a nuclear war. The defense personnel used this Darpanet to communicate messages between the various Government networks. The later form of this type of communication came to be known as the ?net? or the ?Internet.? Now there are more than 30 million users from all over the world, and there are more than 40 million sites on the Internet. From its humble beginning when the connection was given to universities in America, to the present day when connections are given to small businesses, to Internet Service Providers, and to individual users, the Internet has indeed come a long way. The Internet can now be accessed by any number of users, both private and public, and the service is offered by a large number of Internet providers."

Abstract
In this article, the writer demonstrates that it is obvious that the Internet has become an important educational resource and a powerful social element for children. The writer also discusses that while the Internet provides children with a wealth of learning opportunities, it can also potentially expose them to negative content, for although it allows benefits such as socialization, research and communication tools for children, it also contains negative elements such as violence, hate sites, isolation, commercialism, predators, and pornography. The writer concludes that the best safeguards for parents are to remain involved in their child's activities by actively monitoring online usage and to establish open and honest communication.
From the Paper
"In a series of studies published by the American Psychological Association on April 30, 2006, roughly 75 to 90 percent of American teenagers use the Internet to email, instant message, visit chat rooms and surf online Web sites, all of which can have both positive and negative effects, from encouraging self-injury practices to improving academic performance."
"One study, the HomeNetToo Project, by Michigan State University examined the positive effects of home Internet access on children's academic performance by following 140 children aged 10-18 years from low-income households for a two-year period (Borzekowski). Researchers found that the children who used the Internet for an average of thirty minutes a day had higher standardized test scores in reading and higher grade point averages at one year and at 16 months after the project began, yet Internet use had no effect on standardized math scores."

"The History of the Internet
Introduction: The Need to Communicate
The Internet has become a modern tool of communication, capable of accessing vast amounts of information in a tenth of a second. The Internet evolved because of a need to communicate, but in a very particular way: interactively. As Harold Adams Innis (1994) noted, "changes in communications technology have often accompanied great social change." This has been the case throughout recorded history. As access to the printed page proved to be a powerful revolutionary and evolutionary force in medieval Europe, the Internet has opened up the world of documents to those capable of signing on.

From the Paper
"Ming Chi and Sandy Xu's web page talks about how Internet marketing is an inexpensive way for businesses to market. According to their research, traditional marketing requires time, money and determination. In Internet marketing, businesses deal directly with consumers. There is no need for marketing intermediaries. Businesses no longer deal with marketing agencies and the distribution costs are also eliminated. (WebPromote. 1996) To do mass marketing in the conventional way is extremely expensive but for Internet marketing this is not true all. The Internet enables businesses to conduct mass marketing, target marketing, and niche marketing in a small fraction of the cost of
conventional marketing."

Internet Regulation, 2002.
A paper which argues against the American government imposing restrictions on the internet.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This research paper argues that the U.S. government should not regulate the Internet. One important reason is that it would go against the nations? right to freedom of speech. The government has used a number of reasons to support its quest for regulation, such as protecting children, yet it has ignored the fact that there are other methods to control harmful and illegal material online without hindering the Internet?s growth and capabilities. This paper shows that it would be impossible for any single government or nation to completely regulate the Internet, because by nature, the internet is resistant to control and regulation.
From the Paper
"The government claims that the Internet should be regulated because pornographic and hate sites need to be controlled. However, these sites are only a very small part of the Internet. In addition, there are already existing laws throughout the world that regulate these sites, enabling authorities to track, investigate, arrest and convict parties engaging in illegal Internet activities, including credit fraud, hacking, pedophilia and more (117). Government regulation, such as blocking Web sites from harmful or illegal content is a drastic and unnecessary measure that does solve the problems presented by the Internet. Even if the regulation were successful, it would be impossible to solve the problem of sites outside the U.S. The government still continue to argues that this regulation is necessary, particularly to protect the children."

Abstract
This well-researched paper examines the pros and cons of our growing reliance on the internet in a variety of areas, including journalism, education, business and communication. One of the most positive and least contested views is related to the importance of the internet in education. This paper examines how the internet provides a good basis for educational reform and the reduction of division and inequalities through ubiquitous networking. On the other hand, there are commentators who state that the internet is not equally available for all. This paper discusses the 'digital divide' which proves that many countries and areas within societies do not have the same access to technology as others. This paper discusses how modern businesses around the world have woken up to the advantages and possibilities of the internet, in areas such as online marketing and e-commerce. The writer of this paper contends and explains how the internet has negatively affected the field of journalism. This paper also delves into the societal aspect of the internet. Many advocates of the internet stress the positive aspects of technological change in a social context, while at the same time many critics point to the negative effects that the internet is having on society. For example, they refer to the increasing anonymity and depersonalization though communication via electronic media.

From the Paper
"One of the central areas in which the Internet has already had a profound effect, is the world of journalism and politics. Prior to the growth of the Internet and the proliferation of communication and networking technologies such as Weblogs, all perceptions about society and politics were filtered through a process of editing and " censorship" by companies and corporations. In other words, the perceptions of the world and current events were largely determined by and dependent on the ethics and impartiality of newspaper and media editors. However, the status quo has been dramatically altered with the recent popularity and growth of the Internet. With the development of Internet technologies such as RSS, Weblogs and others, new modes of interactive news reportage have become a part of the ordinary life."

From the Paper
"Mark Leary is looking at his watch. It is 10:30 p.m. and he has a list of chores to complete by tonight. He is leaving on a 3-day business trip in the morning and will not have the time to take care of some financial details. He has put off balancing his checkbook for over 2 months and needs to find out how much money he has in the checking account. Mark also wants to do a stock analysis of his current portfolio and ask his broker some questions about a new stock he read about earlier in the week. He has to send his son in college some money since he always seems to run out. Mark also promised his wife that he would order some new checks and get her a debit card since she does not like the inconvenience of having just an ATM card. Finally, yet importantly, he would like to check out information on Keogh's for his wife's business. How is he going to actually accomplish any of these tasks at this hour of the night? The answer is in the next revolution to hit the banking industry. Mark will log onto his banks website via his Internet service provider (ISP) and work away. The bank site allows him to download his statements directly onto his home budgeting software like Microsoft's Money or Intuit's Quicken and reconcile quickly and efficiently. In a matter of minutes, he knows his exact balance, what is outstanding and what items have come through. He will use the link that connects with the banks investment advisor who handles his portfolio and email questions about the stock he read about, he will ask another department about a Keogh for his wife's new business. He will transfer money through electronic funds transfer (EFT) from his account to his sons account across the country and it will be there by morning. He will order the checks his wife wants on the check selection link and order a debit card with a single click of a button since his information is already stored in the bank database."
