It would be a situation wherein America was simply helping along people who were, at present, unable to adequately help themselves. The concept had much in common with the goals of many charity or self-help organizations - people grow and are transformed by learning to help themselves. They are given assistance so as
The economic pragmatism that the Marshall Plan demonstrates for the United States is not necessarily as clearly observable form a basic look at history as is the containment of communism.

As media continues to evolve so too will mankind and the manner in which society creates social order and reconstruct its relationship between the physical, mental and social.

In some cases, it does make the world a connected whole and global village. An e-mail goes from Europe to Africa in seconds, a girl in South America plays a PC game with a boy in Australia, a man in California talks over the computer to a friend in Japan.

The military dictatorship simply favored specific economic interests, notably large tourist enterprises, urban real estate and construction, and shipowners.
