Culture Jamming on a Global scale?

The following video was shown to my Adolescent Development class the other day, and I thought it perhaps an interesting point of discussion in terms of 'remix' and what may be suggested by it about culture jamming. It's a quite TED Talk worth a gander.




There is a lot to be said about globalization, and it's kind of hard to remain objective when discussing the matter. What kind of implications do you think arise when Eastern, more traditional collectivist cultures are jammed with Western individualist cultures? Where do you think discrepancies arise in terms of generational differences? I think if you were to ask a younger person what their accessibility to all kinds of information has meant for them, it would mean a great deal, and a positive lot, more than say to the elders who perhaps view these media as altering or changing their traditional cultures.

We can't deny the impact that globalization has had on the new ever present forms of media that are springing up all over the world. Is this a form of culture jamming? Would you consider the comic books presented a kind of remix, and if so, a remix of what? What about the Barbie doll? Is this a remix or a culture jam? In short, I think yes, but discuss away!
