Quotes

“Globalization is nothing new but is continuously applied to yet another level. One of (globalization’s) blessings in this creator-based content economy is that it’s no longer a one-way street of passive audiences. Cultural discourse abounds.”

“I find it both amusing and enriching to see how a single piece of content can set off such varied reactions depending on the cultural context of the audience.”

“As we see it, all white people look the same. Only Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise look different to us”

“I found that the Arab language does not seem like a sequence of words, but a sequence of unreadable letters, at least to me. It was very hard.”
