Media & Globalization - Online Gaming

Some possible topics that we might broach:

• the types of games that the people in the LAN centers play
• -> is there a particular kind of game that they play? it might be due to cultural proximity (possible rise of Korean online games)
• discussion on the role of games in childhood and how it has evolved
• if we can come up with a concrete connection with korea gaming and Singaporeans/Asia, we can talk about Korea's connection with the rest of Asia (similar to Karaoke)
• form of popular vs mass culture?
• applying Travel Theory?
• Localization vs hegemony
