6. About term paper

Since my paper is about Djerba in Tunisia and the differences between the Muslim cultural traditions and the Jewish ones, I've collected (so far) these five books in order to start drafting for a former outline to base my ideas and axes on. Here are the books I've chosen this morning:

1. Tunisia, the rough guide
2. A history of Modern Tunisia - Kennith J. Perkins
3. Jews & Judaism in African History - Richard Hull
4. Religion or Ethnicity Jewish identities in Evolution - Zvi Gitelman
5. The Tunisia of Ahmad Bey - L.Carl Brown (The brown book on the picture)

I'm willing to do a deeper research in the database of the library so I can find more papers and e-sources in order to have a stronger research process and a more academic lead one.

More detailed and properly cited sources will be provided in the coming days ...

Moreover, the...

8. Media Contraflows

One of these days most trendy and important factors that have been involved in the globalization of media is the influence of the Western world over developing countries'. Indeed, the influence of the dominant countries has played a major role in shaping the structure of the flow of news circulating in different media and also created new shapes of media content due to the mix of different cultures and backgrounds.   First, we have to mention that the medium that has played a major role in the rapid production and the mixture of cultures in the world of media is television. Indeed, as the television got rid of many restrictions (political and socio-cultural), people have started shaping a new identity through the content shown on their screen. The very numerous programs and choice of channel options provided are the main elements that encourage people (in the developing countries) to be aware of what’s happening (on the national and the international level as well) hence, it...
