Exchanges in Real Spaces & Virtual Spaces
Real Spaces
East is
East , is a British
comedy-drama film written by Ayub Khan-Din in 1999.
This movie tells the story of Jahangir Khan, he was born in Pakistan and
he had got married for the first time there. When he immigrated to Britain, he
met Ella, a Caucasian , he fell in love and married her and became the father
of six sons and a daughter. The problem is that the father wanted all of
children to follow Islam tradition. He wanted to married his sons so he made
forced marriage. The first one didn’t work, the first soon escaped from the
ceremony because he was gay. The others will try to escape from the
traditionalism of their father and at the same time , they will protect their
mother because of the father’s violence.
In my
opinion , this movie illustrate the notion spaces and exchanges in real spaces
as far as he concerned the immigration of Pakistanis to Britain and how they
deal with the new culture (western culture) even though they don’t want to

How Islamic State uses social media to attract female recruits | Channel 4 News ( 22 february 2015)
In this
report , channel 4 news explain how Islamic states uses social medias (twitter
for example) to attract female . The videos starts with a pink logo that is
suppose to be female friendly , in the background of the video , we see as
Islamic propaganda video showing us this women with arms . This women aimed at recruiting
other women 550 have heeded the call to travel to Syria , we know for sure that around 60 of them were from UK . There
is no question that for many IS is winning the propaganda war and they are
really successful because of internet and social networking spaces for their
own propaganda. It’s obvious that media seems to have played a central in recruiting
the 3 girls from Bethnal green (like the video explain) . The social networks
show also how the girls turn to. It’s important to create a better control of
social networking and to delete the propaganda’s videos because this make a
fake idea for women , in my opinion it’s important also for medias like TV to not use the propaganda video in the news
because it’s also dangerous for viewers.
I think we
can relate this document with spaces and exchanges because it’s talk about how
terrorism uses virtual spaces (thanks to the deep web) and new technologies to
attract people because nowadays everybody expose his life on the net and nobody
is really save although when you think you are alone in front of your computer
at home . (258 words )
