How can Moroccan cultural industries reach globality (global market)?

From my point of view I believe that each country aiming that its cultural products reach the global market must try to adapt its products to feet with the other cultures of various countries. For example, even the U.S they adapted their famous restaurant chain (McDonald's) to many cultures and religions all around the world.

For Morocco I believe that the first thing that should be done to promote cultural products is:
1. Try to adapt our traditional and cultural product to satisfy the global consumers.
* The adaptation could be done as follows:
- Using various colors and fabrics for clothes
- Come up with new designs for house decor and furniture
- Come up with new and easy techniques to prepare Couscous :)
- Mix our traditional music with other rhythms

2. Use excellent marketing strategies to promote products:

- Ads (radio, newspapers, magazines, national/international TV)
- Flayers
- International exhibitions
- Serious price :)

Assignment II

“And because mass media and communication convey powerful images in an instant across the globe, it dictates that struggles are fought as much through propaganda, ideas and values as through conventional means, military or diplomatic”.

I believe that the idea or the point of view of Tony Blair is true because thanks to the mass media and the images that it coveys people all around the world become aware of the information and the changes. and as we know images have great impact on people more that any other media tool. for example, during the attack of September 9/11, i believe that the images of the crash and of victims played a big and major role to inform and to guide the public opinion. Also sometimes we heard and read about the famine in Ethiopia and we just feel sorry for them; however, by seeing the powerful images that illustrate the actual state of those people, we react to change a situation because images are like proofs. So I believe that images are the mass media tool that could convey and mobilise people all around the globe.

Chapter 2 Drawing a Bead on Global Communication Theories
Detailed Outline


I- Normative Theories

- Four Theories of the Press: taxonomy (dividing up all the various versions and aspects of a topic into systematic categories or models: authoritarian, Soviet, liberal, and social responsibility).
- Normative theories: they did not seek only to explain or contrast comparative media systems but to provide a definition of how those systems ought to operate according to certain principles.- The development model & the participatory/democratic model.- The development model: media that addressed issues of health, poverty, education etc.
- The participatory/democratic model: small scale perception of the way of organizing media.

II- A different Approach I: Comparing and Contrasting Media

- Soviet media had a strong overlap with media under other dictatorships and with so-called development media..- Four main important issues are important in this case: economic crises, political power, dramatic social transitions and small-scale alternative media.
i- Political Power
- The state control over media was very detailed in Soviet Russia.

ii- Economic Crisis
- Economic crisis was a daily experience for the majority of soviet.- The soviet and post-soviet Russian experience of economic crisis.

iii- Dramatic Social Transition

- Russia went through many transitions in the 20th century. WWI
- The imperial censorship made it risky for anyone to print anything directly critical of the czars.

III- A different Approach II: Globalization and Media
- Globalization: structural economic changes.
- Globalization is everywhere even in cultural and media processes. - Hybridity Theory.
VI- A Different Approach III: small-Scale Alternative Media
- Samizdat media: during the 1960’s hand-circulated pamphlets, poems, essays, plays, short stories and audio- and videocassettes that started to emerge in Soviet Russia as well as other countries.
