We can grasp this theory of globalization through many contexts: multimedia, multicontextuality, communications being just a few examples in which we can find it. In the film,The New World, (Terrence Malick, 20 January 2006, United States of America/United Kingdom) the main character, Pocahontas, goes through a dramatic life-changing experience as an aftermath of her father extraditing her from her tribe. From the beginnning to the end, we see Pocahontas go from a Native American women who only knew her tribe all her life, to an almost full-on english women who speaks perfect english and dresses and acts as if she has lived and known the life of the english her whole life; she gains a new identity, and she then lives in a brand-new world. Her experience is a flawless example of our world starting to globalize, and specifically practicing cultural hybridity.
