Write a 6 pages paper on effects of internet on politics, youths and westernization. Over a very short period, the internet consolidated itself to be a very powerful platform with significant impacts on the nature in which individuals communicate and do business. Because of the high internet usage in the world today, the paper seeks to make an analysis of its effects resulting in westernized homogenous world culture.

There has been a major shift in global politics as a result of extensive internet usages via increased political participation (Inglehart & Welzel, 2005, 64). Observably, internet innovation brought along other forms of political participation that initially were absent in the previous centuries and were not perceivable then. It, however, is plausible that some of the new forms into the political sphere by the internet have no links to the non-virtual world. For instance, the internet has made it easier to sending and receiving emails with political contents as well as influencing state decisions through posted comments on different government websites. These notions further clarify the point of the internet facilitating the westernization of certain countries. This new political participation mechanism apparently advances the total levels of participation in politics.

One of the major effects of the internet in the political forum is its provision of substitute undertakings to offline political events. Currently, it is very easy to air your protest against a given government department or common figure by communicating through email with the media stations. An offline activity that equates to the above move would be going to the government office in person and presenting the vital political concerns (Baylis, Smith & Owen, 2013, 51). Observably, the internet appears also to have shortened the totally bureaucratic processes thus saving the already limited resources. In the world today, many individuals are going online and embracing the internet platform, utilizing it as a tool for checking the government and ensuring a performance that presents a westernization culture.
