The medium is the message - Marshall McLuhan
What is this wise man trying to say? Well, in my opinion, I believe that through this aphorism, Marshall McLuhan is trying to say that any form of media is irrevelant because the real form of "media" is from us, the human beings who communicate to each other. I feel that McLuhan is trying to express that the messages we convey are alot more revelant to society and create more of an impact or change. Whereas, what the media states can not always be true and may be sending the wrong message.
Global Village- Marshall McLuhan
I believe this aphorism means that everybody in the world is connected. With an increase in technology and electronic mass media, everybody in the world can interact and live on a global scale. We should credit mass media for the sole reason that barriers such as location and time that hinder human communication can be broken down. The term "global village" expresses that even though our world is so large, it can be transformed into a village because everybody can still be all connected and communicate with each other.

Hi Yuna,
The first aphorism: "The medium is the message" needs more work. The logics in your agruement need to be more clarified. You need to also explain your thoughts clearer.
The second aphorism: "Global Village" is very good. Well done.
