Understanding the Civil War in Yemen through Human Needs Theory
This paper examines the current Civil War in Yemen based on Human Needs Theory. Developed by John Burton, Human Needs Theory rests on the premise that certain groups of people resort to violence when their basic needs are not met or when they need understanding, respect, and consideration for their needs. Needs for security and identity recognition are particularly salient in civil wars and devastating identity conflicts. An important conclusion …

This cross-sectional study examines the acceptance of Indian cinema among Chinese cinephiles to determine how the audience perceives and is influenced after watching Indian films. Researchers surveyed the local Chinese audience and collected 2,129 valid self-structured e-questionnaires. Respondents belonged to Mainland China. Results showed significant characteristics that make Indian movies attractive to about 50% of the Chinese population. Find…
From Child Terrorism to Peace Activism
Islamic Radicalization
This paper is a conceptual analysis of Islamic radicalization. Islamic radicalization refers to the process of persuading individuals (e.g., often new or potential Muslim recruits) that jihad is the answer to contemporary problems that have undermined the existence or progress of Islam on a global scale. This topic is important because visualizing the issue in this manner enhances our understanding of the Islamic radicalization process. An import…

Understanding ‘jihadist’ nasheeds through symbolic convergence theory (SCT)
This article applies symbolic convergence theory (SCT) to the use of nasheeds by ‘jihadist groups’. SCT postulates that individuals come together to form a cohesive group with a shared consciousness and symbolic reality. SCT rests on fantasy themes. Fantasy themes are both a psychological and rhetorical mechanism to generate and organize interpretations of events. By and large, a nasheed is an Islamic-themed chant that often sings the praises of …

U.S. government deception in the Luis Posada scandal
This article examines the role of U.S. government deception in the handling of the anti‐Castro terrorist Luis Posada. The Luis Posada scandal involved more than just the terrorist; it also involved the questionable collaboration of several U.S. presidents, government officials, and agencies with entities in Cuban‐exile communities. The theoretical framework used in this analysis is information manipulation theory, which postulates that informatio…
Power in Hidden Figures
This article examines the concept of power in the 2016 movie Hidden Figures . This true story portrays the lives of three mathematicians who prevailed over oppressive racial and gender relations (i.e. as African American women) while working at National Aeronautics and Space Administration in the early 1960s. The method driving this analysis is critical discourse analysis (CDA). The ultimate objective of this analysis is to expose the racial and …
Global Jihad in Muslim and non-Muslim Contexts
Communication in Global Jihad
This book conceptually examines the role of communication in global jihad from multiple perspectives. The main premise is that communication is so vital to the global jihadist movement today that jihadists will use any communicative tool, tactic, or approach to impact or transform people and the public at large. The author explores how and why the benefits of communication are a huge boon to jihadist operations, with jihadists communicating their…
Islamic Terrorist Radicalization through Online Jihadist Magazines
This study is a conceptual analysis of the role that online jihadist magazines play in the process of Islamic terrorist radicalization. This topic is essential because it demonstrates how successful jihad propagandists have been at finding new ways to radicalize new and potential recruits—often a young target audience—into the Salafist-jihadist doctrine. The four specific magazines examined are Al-Qaeda’s Inspire, ISIS’s Dabiq and Rumiyah, and Al…
Applying McLuhan’s tetradic framework to the effects of 9/11 on US media reports and depictions of Muslims
This article applies McLuhan’s tetradic framework to the impact of 9/11 on US media reports and portrayals of Muslims. The tetradic framework posits that transformations in media and world life happen through four fundamental steps. All forms of media (1) intensify specific aspects of media culture while, simultaneously, (2) making other characteristics of media culture obsolete. At some point, people tend to (3) discover new things about aspects…
Female Terrorism in America
Glurbanization
As an urban model, glurbanization – a combination of the words “global” and “urbanization” – postulates that important urban transformations and reconfigurations through rescaling processes (called interscalar strategies) are taking place and are greatly enhancing the status and potential of cities (and their regions) so as to increase global competitive advantages. An essential premise of glurbanization is that large cities on the planet, called…

Understanding Somali piracy through cognitive resources theory
This paper examines Somali piracy through the lens of Cognitive Resources Theory (CRT). By and large, Somali piracy consists of hijacking ships, mostly in the Indian Ocean and adjacent areas, and collecting ransom money so as to fund future pirates’ operations. CRT postulates that stress is the enemy of rationality, harming a group’s ability to operate logically and analytically, and impacting both leadership and group performance. Cognitive reso…
Glocalization of Subway in India
This paper examines how Subway, the US fast food restaurant franchise, has adapted to Indian culture. Glocalization theory will be the guiding framework used in this analysis. Glocalization rests on the premise that a universal concept must change to fit and function in a local culture. Blending the local and the global, it provides a passage to empowerment where modifications to a particular commodity can make it prosper in various traditions. F…
An Examination of Pack Journalism as a Form of Groupthink
This study examines pack journalism as a form of groupthink. Pack journalism is a practice whereby large groups of reporters cluster around a news site, engage in copycat reporting by using and sharing news information, and lazily refrain from confirming the data through independent sources. Groupthink is a concept that describes a consensus-seeking propensity in certain groups. Through a qualitative analysis and thorough explanation of pack jour…
Collapsing the Global and the Local through Interscalar Strategies
This article examines glurbanization, a model stating that urban transformation through interscalar strategies can increase the ability and status of global city-regions to develop global competitive advantages. Interscalar strategies refer to the use of scaling processes through strategic cross-border restructuration and multiple localities. Localities are groups or communities such as neighborhoods, municipalities, suburbs, regions, and urban z…
Doctor-Patient Communication Styles
This article compares the doctor-patient communication styles of the United States with those of three Asian countries: Pakistan, Japan, and Thailand. Based on intercultural comparisons drawn between those countries, this analysis reveals that, overall, the United States has very little in common with the philosophical, cultural, societal, and communicative approaches to the traditional doctor-patient communication styles used in these three Asia…
The Impact of Central-Place Theory on Wal-Mart
This study applies central-place theory to the Wal-Martization process. Central-place theory posits that there are laws determining the number, size, and distribution of cities. One of the theory's major premises is its emphasis on the size and spacing of towns that specialize in selling goods and services. The Wal-Mart blueprint has adopted the central-place model in that it follows an ordered region with snowflake-like proportion. For example, …
Glurbanization theory
This article analyzes glurbanization theory. The theory rests on the premise that major urban transformations and reconfigurations through interscalar strategies and rescaling processes are a good method of increasing the capacity and status of cities (and their regions) to develop global competitive advantages. This urban model stems from the fact that cities are increasingly exposed to global competition. An important tenet of glurbanization is…
Terrorism as spectacle
This paper analyses terrorism from the framework of ‘spectacle’ (Debord, 1995). In this context, ‘spectacle’ is a historical event that looks like a political drama, theatre, or even a play. The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were played out as a script, mise en scène, and choreography. Terrorism can be a disaster or horror movie. This is made possible thanks to around-the-clock news and media images. Of particular importance is the ability…
The Bollywood in Indian and American Perceptions
This analysis compares Indian and US perceptions of Bollywood. It is the first to provide such a comparison. Overall, the authors found that both Indian and US perceptions of Bollywood are positive and negative. On some dimensions, Indian and US perceptions differ sharply from each other; on other dimensions, a few similarities become apparent. Overall, Indian perceptions of Bollywood are both negative and positive. While their concept of Bollywo…
A Behemoth in India
The global retailing giant Walmart’s entry into India since 2009 is analysed in this article within the applied theoretical framework of glocalisation rather than simply globalisation. In light of glocalisation theory, the article suggests that globalising a product, brand, idea or service has more chances of success in a local market when it is targeted and adjusted specifically to the respective local value systems and thus becomes a glocalised…

Wal-Mart
This paper examines the methods adopted by Wal-Mart to cater to local cultures in China. This analysis draws on glocalization, a concept that refers to the interaction of the global and the local, or the incorporation of local elements into global products and/or services. This paper is important for two reasons. First, glocalization, in and of itself, has the capacity to enhance scholarly understanding of globalization with reference to global a…

ABC's Quantico
This article uses critical discourse analysis (CDA) to analyse occurrences of female superiority and racial stereotypes in Quantico, ABC's breakthrough show in fall 2015. This show features Alex Parrish, a strong female lead of Indian descent. Through the use of CDA, we looked closely at the behaviours and aggressive language of the show's characters. After analysing season 1 of Quantico (roughly 405 minutes of material), an important conclusion …
Understanding Predatory Organised Crime through Network Governance Theory
The objective of this article is twofold: first, to examine the meaning of predatory organised crime (POC), which is defined according to the network governance theory, and, second, to identify the key elements that POC groups need in order to start, grow and expand. POC is a type of organised crime that occurs mostly in developing countries and that feeds on fraud, financial blackmail and shakedowns. This practice imposes heavy financial costs a…
Bharti-Wal-Mart
This paper analyzes the experience of Bharti-Wal-Mart, a joint venture between Wal-Mart and Bharti Enterprises (an Indian telecommunications company), based on the principles of glocalization theory. By and large, glocalization refers to the adaptation of multinational corporations (MNCs) to local cultures. MNCs achieve this by immersing themselves into local cultures and by adopting unconventional marketing techniques. A major finding of this an…
Race of the Future
This article examines the impacts of the race of the future theory on the U.S. population. By and large, the theory posits that the mixing of different races—due to the process of miscegenation, especially in marriage, cohabitation, or sexual relations—will blend all races, so much so that, in the future, the end result of this mixing will be a panracial formation (i.e., one race). In this analysis, the authors attempt to determine whether the mi…

Emergent themes from these narrative interviews are also found in regard to the participants' accultura…
The Role of Intercultural Communication in Cyberterrorism
This article analyzes the role of intercultural communication in cyberterrorism. Cyberspace is a common site of meeting and interaction between cyberterrorists from multiple cultural backgrounds. It is also a place where cyberterrorists have to face law enforcement agents. As a result, intercultural clashes sometimes occur. This justifies the necessity for better understanding intercultural communication in Internet-mediated situations. Although …
Intercultural Perspectives on Cyberspace
Cyberspace is the Global Village, a sphere for interaction between users from multiple cultural backgrounds. It can unite people or divide them for motives rooted in ideology, politics, historical background, race, or religion. Readers will find it useful to read an article on cyberspace from an intercultural perspective because, most likely, they will be able to relate their experience and knowledge of cyberspace to the analytical and theoretica…
A critique of Bernstein’s beyond objectivism and relativism
This analysis comments on Bernstein’s lack of clear understanding of subjectivity, based on his book, Beyond Objectivism and Relativism: Science, Hermeneutics, and Praxis . Bernstein limits his interpretation of subjectivity to thinkers such as Gadamer and Habermas. The authors analyze the ideas of classic scholars such as Edmund Husserl and Friedrich Nietzsche. Husserl put forward his notion of transcendental subjectivity and phenomenological ra…
An Updated Examination of the Effects of Illegal Drug Use in the Workplace
Illegal drug use in the workplace is a pervasive and serious problem that affects the corporate world, particularly with respect to the impairment of employee communication in their occupational settings. Because of the diversity of illegal drugs that are available (e.g., stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens) to general employees in the workforce, various effects can occur on the users that can affect their communication styles and patterns. Th…
Improving Terrorism Preparedness for Hospitals
This paper provides insights on the main cure for improving terrorism preparedness for hospitals: better interorganizational communication between hospitals and other agencies. Despite considerable progress in dealing with the impact of a major terrorist attack, most U.S. hospitals so far do not seem to be fully capable to manage mass casualties and face a large-scale influx of patients. Yet, hospitals play a critical role in both identifying and…

Cyberterrorism
This paper examines cyberterrorism and its potential to create a postmodern state of chaos. In general, chaos refers to a state of extreme confusion and disorder. This analysis breaks new ground in that it describes chaos theory as a foundation for better understanding cyberterrorism and explains how chaos theory and game theory are tightly coupled. The author also contrasts modern, conventional terrorism with postmodern, innovative cyberterroris…
Problematic Integration Theory
In this analysis, the authors apply Problematic Integration (PI) Theory to the way breast cancer patients engage in and receive support. The theory focuses on the relationship between expectations and desires, and enlightens cognitive and communicative responses to situations that involve tensions between their perceived likelihoods of occurrence and their perceived values. The relationship between PI Theory and its significance in treating and p…
Inoculation Theory
This paper analyzes skin cancer in detail and explains how inoculation theory, which demonstrates how attitudes can be strengthened and made resistant to counter-attitudinal persuasive messages, is a unique method for specifically targeting and conferring resistance to unprotected and excessive ultraviolet exposure to people of all ages. As many previous efforts to reduce exposure to ultraviolet rays have had minimal impact, inoculation theory is…

KEYWORDS: CyberterrorismpropagandamediapostmodernismInternetsemiotics
Path-Goal Theory
This analysis applies the principles of path-goal theory to a renowned music recording company, Columbia Records. By and large, path-goal theory posits that leaders can positively inspire the performance, contentment, and motivation of their employees by clarifying the path on how to achieve performance goals, bestowing rewards for achieving these goals, and removing obstacles that are stopping employees from achieving these goals. A major conclu…

Globalisation Of Popular Culture
This article examines significant evidence of recent Bollywood influence on the Western movie industry, particularly Hollywood, and explores the implications of such developments in the context of globalisation. Within the ongoing globalisation of entertainment, a process that does not automatically lead to cultural Westernisation and uniformisation, Bollywood has by now become both a symbol of Indian cinema’s circulation all over the world and t…

In doing so, the authors look at four major standards of evidence: (1) evidence-based practice, (2) collaboration models (i.e., the Cochrane Collaboration and the Campbell Collaboration), (3) knowledge translation, and (4) the Social Work Article Club. The ultimate goal of these standards of evidence…
Improving Nursing Home Resident Integrity by Optimizing Interpersonal Communication Skills in Clinical Staff
In this article the authors discuss the prevalence of resident abuse and reported violations of care deficiencies and resident maltreatment in nursing homes in the United States. The number of nursing homes in the United States that are cited with abuse violations has increased in recent years. While the authors recognize that treatments (both positive and negative) received by residents are sometimes related to factors other than staff's lack of…
New Trends in Globalisation
This analysis looks at the role of Wal-Mart in Brazil by using glocalisation theory. Glocalisation refers to the strategies and practices adopted by transnational corporations to cater to local cultures and customs. In the case of Wal-Mart in Brazil, it unsuccessfully attempted to impose the US strategy of management practices, employee standards, low wages, EDLP (every-day-low pricing) for buyers, fierce pressure on suppliers, harsh anti-union p…
