Changes in communication technology that have allowed military spouses to switch from mailing letters to their partners in afghanistan to chatting with them on skype are an example of what dynamic of globalization?

time space compression

Explanation:

-Time space compression is the process of limiting the distance and time between people .

-It aims to ensure that just because people are a mile a way and in different time zones it should not take as much long for them to contact effectively and efficiently.

-The text above gives us the perfect example of soldier's wives who use to struggle with the distance and time between them and their husbands .

-The mailing will take days , weeks or months before they could receive messages but the technological development of media communications such as Skype have compressed that distance between them.

as university of miami psychologists debra lieberman and adam smith pointed out in a recent article in the journal current directions in psychological science, humans have social and psychological mechanisms to deter incest. with very few exceptions, marriages between brothers and sisters and between parents and their children are verboten in every human culture. the primary psychological anti-incest mechanism is the yuck response. even the idea of sex with their mom or dad, bro or sis is upsetting to most people. the psychologist jonathan haidt has found that nearly everyone is repelled by the prospect of brother-sister sex, even in hypothetical situations in which there is no chance of pregnancy).

the biological cost of incest

this raises an interesting question: just what’s so bad about incest? sure, having sex with your dad or your sister seems gross — but why? some anthropologists have argued that incest taboos are learned social conventions. this explanation, however, doesn’t make sense to me as it does not explain the widespread existence of anti-incest mechanisms in creatures ranging from cockroaches to chimpanzees. second, the incest taboo is about as close to a universal law as human moral rules get.

why should mechanisms to avoid incest be so widespread both in nature and across human societies? the answer is simple. the problem with having sex close with relatives is that there is an astonishingly high chance that your offspring will be born with a serious birth defect.
