Gobalización y Cambio En La Identidad Chilena

Exposition of the problem

In this new system, the communication does not have borders. This universal network causes that the countries have no frontiers, they are not limited. The individual knows what it happens on the other side of the world. Everything through the new form to inform: on a global scale.

It is understood that the media channels are an information tool, but sometimes are aweapon, indispensable to govern, to influence, to persuade, to control and to turn. It has always been of this form, the totalitarian, authoritarian governments, the dictatorships of long ago and the effective ones, know of the importance of these, they regulate them to its way and they prevail of the freedom of information to its citizens.

“Four hostile newspapers are more frightful thanthousand bayonets”, said Napoleón. It is beacause of this, that we hear hundreds of governors to talk about mass media like an apparatus to respect and/or to control.

Historical Review

The discovery of America byCristóbal Columbus responds to a globalization phenomenon. As much as well as the colonization on the part of African European countries and the Americas. These conquests took new products to the Old Continent, producing great migrations and commerce.

By the end of century XVIII, specifically in the United Kingdom, is carried out one of the most important revolutions of history.

Which turns now the roll of the State. State, Power and Nation, and the own protagonism of the citizen is terms that must be redefined. It is as well as the names from Hume, Hobbes arise, Rousseau, Locke and Smith, among other liberal thinkers.

Also swelling of people began to occur in the oceans to interrelate. Trusts in people is a new concept, these unions of “companies” under a same central command and control, the joint-stock companies and the corporations emerge to each other in a world more and more connected due to the increase ofthe technology, the communications and the transport.

Nevertheless, in scale we have World War I, the recession and World War II. The flows of international trade go away, a brake in the production takes place and the economies are damaged seriously.
