Citizenship represents a highly appreciated identity for any individual living permanently in specific environment. It gives her/him when optimally equipped, a peace of mind, a sense of belonging, cross cultural communication, daily life stability, and hope for a promising future. However, what observed in reality is a mixed of distorting aggravating conditions that negate most learned civic beliefs, conducts, and values. Hence, citizenship education is seen ineffective since was incapable to instill in students by means of meaningful programs and methodology the significant knowledge, skills and professional will to counteract individually and in small groups emergent violence, destructive outlaws and barbaric attitudes. Consequently, the main concerns of this article are presenting two research tasks, first: a Multiphasic Citizenship Blended Acculturation Program that incorporates the contemporary Info-Communication Global Age with, 1: A Taxonomy of Social Civic behaviors and values, 2: Trio Types of Citizenship Acculturation: national, Regional and Global citizens, 3: Digital ICTs and 3Rs' skills conducive to citizenship acculturation, and 4: A Model for Individual Human/Civic Rights. And second: A nondirective learning-teaching Methodology of Citizenship Acculturation.

2. Reflections on Cultural Imperialism and Pedagogical Possibilities Emerging from Youth Encounters with Internet2000 •
Many academic and popular writers have warned that the internet could be another form of cultural imperialism used by corporate-led western powers to force feed western values and worldviews to the rest of the world, similar to how Western education was imposed on Africa after colonisation. These ongoing arguments about one-way flows of information that shape African minds in Western moulds reinforce desires for dominance and promote an attitude of victimization. Others perceive internet as a panacea to social problems without considering the context in which it would or could be appropriate. This paper draws on research undertaken in 36 primary and secondary schools in five West and Central African countries to look at pedagogical opportunities educators and learners bring to African schools as they use computers and internet in teaching and learning processes. We argue that if appropriated in reflective and creative ways, the internet can become a tool for affirming African values such as community and interdependence. In addition, the internet can be used by teachers and students to help develop critical attitudes as opposed to promoting individualism and consumerism, linked with Western values. Critical and emancipatory pedagogies are part of the process necessary to challenge structural phenomena such as profit-driven globalisation that impoverish, silence, exclude and limit creativity.

The article explores mediagraphy as a learning activity in a high school class in Norway. The students explored aspects of globalization in four generations of their own families, with media use and experiences as the starting point. The student product is a “mediagraphy essay” — a written reflection on differences and similarities across generations. The essays and interviews with key informants are analyzed here using an interpretative, hermeneutic approach. The mediagraphy essays indicate that the youngest generation has access to, interacts with, and experiences a wider world than the world they physically operate in. More than the older generations, the youth therefore have the opportunity to gain insights into global cultures and issues. Mediagraphy is found to be a learning activity that mediates an awareness of the multicultural society. Conclusively, the article argues that mediagraphy is an example of a reflexive exercise that can contribute to an understanding of one’s position in the world, and the responsibility that comes with that, which is an important characteristic of both mediated cosmopolitanism and global citizenship.
