My American Dream

"The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."

My American Dream...

Why do I want to go to the United States of America?

If I have chosen to study in the USA, this is because as the most powerful country in the world, I think it is interesting to discover its policy, economy, culture, habits & way of life...
Improving my personal and professional skills in a very large country seems to be important and particularly in International Communications which I study.

Internet and the economy

Internet is a tool which lets people transmit information quickly all over the world.

Generally speaking, the use of the Internet allows companies and employees to obtain a lot of information at the same time.

Thanks to the Internet, we can be kept informed of everything that happens in the world, every day at every hour.

On one hand, the use of the Internet is a real opportunity to ensure dissemination of information on a large scale. On the other hand, it can be seen as a means of communication harmful because it can maintain a sense of fear and thus worsen the crisis.

Indeed, the surplus of information that we can found on internet on various websites can cause confusion.

This kind of situation can lead people to withdraw more money, so it increases the economic crisis.

Take the example of the Stock Exchange in New York. If there is a crash in New York, thanks to the Internet, speculators can get the information in Paris in real time.

Therefore, the Internet represents a danger for buyers because prices are falling resulting from a lower demand.

What emerges is that the Internet is a source of reliable communication, because there is a wide range of information. However, it may represent a danger for speculators.

My future vision

With the development of Internet in the labour market, it seems important to be informed about the various changes, the novelties, to be open-minded and so remain in technological watch.

The e-Business

Internet is a quick way to inform and communicate. It is a compendium of information. Last, it is simple.

On one hand, there is a convergence of application areas within the Internet (transport of text, voice and image) and the development of interoperability between technologies transmission and reception, fixed and mobile. This means that a horizon of a decade, each of us can receive and emit sound, text and images anywhere and in every kind of support. This also implies that each of us live in a network of communicating objects whose service will apply to most areas of our daily lives.

On the other hand, in combination with computers, the telecommunications sector is no longer a factor accompanying economic progress, but a force driving this progress. Already prevailing today, it will probably be decisive in the next twenty years.

Business networks and the Internet link ensure a better flow of information and, when appropriate, facilitate training, which is a source of progress in productivity. This allows, for example, a multinational information technology sector to hire only 2 to 3 people to all move several thousand employees around the world.

Personal reflexion about the Internet

In my opinion, the most important way that international communications have evolved significantly in recent years is Internet.

The Internet, as an icon of a globalized media world, with around 200 million people globally 'being online' seems to finally speed up this development. According to me, it is the push-pull technology which has formatted a new global public sphere.

Very recent approaches in cultural studies and sociology, interpret global media flow by a new globalized perspective which interprets arising new communication segments within the global context with effects on a diversified global culture.

How International Communications have changed?

Nowadays, it is impossible to open a newspaper without seeing a new kind of evolution in communication world.

The term international communications reflects the history of worldwide communication as well as its diversity. Its development has tremendous influence all over the world.

The 5 ways that international communications have evolved significantly in recent years are:

- Internet;

- Transports;

- Telecommunications;

- New technologies: Videoconferences for example;

- Media.

Internet:

The Internet represents an indispensable tool both professionally and personally. Sending e-mail has developed significantly and it is necessary in our daily work.

The website has now become an essential communications tool for businesses. It allows presenting its offer all over the world and in a few clicks: moreover, it also represents a real card for those who wish to learn more about the business of your company.

The blogs are not limited to teens!

It is the latest interactive communication tool available to businesses. Many companies have quickly found a real interest in setting up a blog. This communication tool usually comes in addition to a website. It helps to provide an interface for direct communication with its customers (or users). Unlike the forum, the user can leave an opinion without prior identification...

Transports:

It must be noted that transport has also evolved significantly in recent years, especially air transport. There is a wide range of flights which are not as expensive as many years ago, and it facilitates international trade.

Aviation has offered alternatives legible enough to previous modes of transport.
The scientific and technical telecommunications do not as spectacular failures but are, instead of pursuing scientific and technological areas, information technology and optics and the confluence of these developments.

Telecommunications:

Using the phone and sending sms, as Internet, is part of everyone's daily life. It is used as a means of communication in advertising for example.

New technologies:

Videoconference is the most significant and is also a good example. It is now possible to communicate with several people at the same time without moving.

Media:

There is a variety of communications modes, including major media advertising (press, television, cinema, radio and so on) and non-media supports (sales promotion, direct marketing, events organization, sponsorship, Internet). It represents a growing share of advertising spending in the budgets of international communication.
