Cynthia L. Selfe "Global Village"

In Cynthia L. Selfe’s writing “Lest We Think The Revolution is a Revolution,” she makes many
claims about how the evolution of technology is effecting the world. Selfe disscusses the idea of
the “global village”. I believe that what Selfe is saying is that the “global village” in theory can bring the world together through technology, and not be discrimatory. Selfe also describes the “romantic level” of appeal that global village has. What Selfe seems to be saying is that Amercians want other cultures to be like them, but don’t want to compromise anything to do so and that Americans don’t want to be equal to other cultures and give up being the dominate culture, as they have always been in history. What she’s saying in her claims is that Americans want to be seen as the creators of this global village, not as equal members. Although technology has made other cultures more accessable to Americans, they still vision themselves as superior while experiencing the other cultures.
