Design and globalization can graphic design in mass communication inspire a global culture?

Abstract

In this paper I deliver four points which support my assertion that graphic design in mass communication can inspire a global culture informed by Christianity. First, I argue that the environment in which people consistently find themselves will over time influence and affect the interior dispositions of the person, and when occurring in great numbers, the culture. I argue for the importance of graphic design as a vital component in the development of culture and how as visual beings, we are affected by what we see. In the third place, I offer my interpretation of events in recent history related to graphic design that has changed our society and affected many people. Finally, I suggest a solution to the problem, citing early Christian culture and placing it as the model for a positive change. Only with naturalness did the ordinary Christians of the early Church change their society while being in the midst of it, and analogously, only with naturalness can we, the ordinary citizens in our popular culture change the Western world.
