An interesting article indirectly tackling the collision of global and local culture, happily hosted by the Internet:
As we sat in the couple’s hut in Ochuloi parish two weeks ago listening to their concerns, it was a sharp reminder of how virtual and real worlds can painfully collide. The Guardian’s Katine project is pioneering in using the internet in a development project, introducing people with no experience of the net to a global conversation. But, of course, that conversation with strangers all over the world can be very direct and even rude when compared to a culture in which politeness and areas of privacy are very important.
The Katine Project decided to take down an article posted on a rural Ugandan family’s means of making, saving and spending money as the article fueled conflict within the community (both local and global).
