Discussion One

 We have agreed that the concept of globalization has provided both benefits and risks to the world of nations.  Module 2 identifies a number of "transnational risks."  It goes on to assert that one of the factors contributing to these risks is the “widespread use of information technology communication (e.g., Internet, cell phones, social media) to mobilize individuals and groups, acquire resources, and in some cases garner external attention and support.”  Can social media constitute a risk to our national security?  Explain your position.
