BLM Around the World
The movement Black Lives Matter started in America. It began, grew and flourished throughout all states and eventually came to have an incredible national influence. No one truly at first saw nor realised how big this movement could become and its achievements can be seen as the result of the Postmodern Age.What this Postmodern Age accommodates is a more globalised world. With the advent of the Internet and the social influence of Web 2.0, the Postmodern Age allowed for the world to come closer and become more connected. As a result images, ideas, information and more could all be shared internationally allowing for the participation of a single idea to build exponentially.
Though Black Lives Matter began in one state, it grew to one country and just as it grew throughout America, it too touched the whole world...
It even touched my home country.
The power of the Internet is truly immense. This issue has become globalised. It has reached millions of people who may have never become aware of the movement if it weren't for the social implications of the modern world. Strikes and petitions have grown immensely as a result and Black Lives Matter has achieved much because of it.
