I remember a great thought of Amartya Sen when I was student. It was about London integration model, and I do think that it is interesting for social media across the world.
"About the existence of a diversity of cultures which can cross one another like boats in the night : does it really represent a success story of multiculturalism ?"When we try to follow some online discussions, we discover that there are not so many bridges between language areas...
Two ideas:
- Maybe because people talk about their daily concerns. And I guess that daily concerns are rooted in local specificities
- Maybe also because not so many people speak fluently 2 / 3 languages
