Complaints or compliments?

The ability to criticize between the East and the West differs hugely among societies. While one consider the necessity to criticize, the dedication to maintain an equilibrium in society conflicted each other when culture crashes occur. So the final question comes... where are we based? The notion claiming that the originality of one determining its position to complain in a way dedicated to its originality should be partially rejected. Take myself as an example. Well, I am from Hong Kong but I am not what people call 'a 100% made in Hong Kong' - I don't like yelling at people, at least, but I agree with the necessity to voice out loud and clear. Drawing backwards, the idea of 'a base' comes from the geographical barriers we used to have but assuming the rejection of Mansell's (2001) proposition of the nonexistence of a wired network, are we all connected? How much should Digital Divide divide us? Are we "all for one and one for all" (Lyrics from Billy Elliot)? How "global" are we at the end of the day? The department of Media and Communications from the LSE has always been focusing on how Digital Divide has divided the world (or at least some courses have stressed this). Should we move on from this and discuss the interaction between globalization and Digital Divide?

OK enough with academic writing... now comes an easier version. It seems as if we, Asians and Westerners, if such can draw the line between the world (which is impossible!) interprets the world differently. Where can an equilibrium exist with an emerging society? It is hard but it is time to think. We are in a world full of computer interactions but seemingly this brought down the meaning to communicate. My proposition is to start with the younger generation but the youngsters today are even more "bossy" than ever! Yes communication exist but in an odd way. Or am I too conservative at this point? Is "Criticism" based on the verb "to talk"? Any thoughts??
