Hello, learners! Let us take a brief pause and think about our life as an
individual and how we lead it in accordance to a given social structure. We are a
being created with susceptibility to the pattern of this world. We are a part of the
whole dimension of human existence. Thus, each of us as a social being cannot live
by ourselves alone for we need to take a part with the intersubjective mode of
mankind within various forms of society. As we continue to exist, we gradually learn
to play significant roles in the communities we live in. These roles are undertaken
from home as a basic unit of the society, then to a bigger community, country and
the world.
The emergence of people groups, organizations, institutions or even
government is a derivative from human’s intrinsic ability to establish relationship
with others covering a broader scale of economic, social, political or cultural trends.
It is from this juncture that the idea of global citizenship is obtained, and any other
enterprise unified under this, merged into the proliferation of the modern information
technologies enters into this progressive and virtually normative frontier of
globalization.
In the succeeding lessons, we will deepen a little on the context of this topic
and strengthen your understanding of your connection to the community and the
world as an individual.
What I Know
This part of the module will assess your knowledge of the topic that you are
about to learn. You are expected to answer the pre-test carefully. Remember to
observe proper sanitation before and after doing anything.

innovations in information technology.

Activity 2.2
Direction: Read the plot of the movie “Black Panther” and answer the guide
questions below. Write your answer on the provided activity sheet.
Black Panther
Thousands of years ago, five African tribes war over a meteorite containing the metal
vibranium. One warrior ingests a "heart-shaped herb" affected by the metal and gains
superhuman abilities, becoming the first "Black Panther". He unites all but the Jabari Tribe
to form the nation of Wakanda. Over centuries, the Wakandans use the vibranium to develop
advanced technology and isolate themselves from the world by posing as a Third World
country. In 1992, Wakanda's King T'Chaka visits his brother N'Jobu, who is working
undercover in Oakland, California. T'Chaka accuses N'Jobu of assisting black-market arms
dealer Ulysses Klaue with stealing vibranium from Wakanda. N'Jobu's partner reveals he is
Zuri, another undercover Wakandan, and confirms T'Chaka's suspicions.
In the present day, following T'Chaka's death, his son T'Challa returns to Wakanda to
assume the throne. He and Okoye, the leader of the Dora Milaje regiment, extract T'Challa's
ex-lover Nakia from an undercover assignment so she can attend his coronation ceremony
with his mother Ramonda and younger sister Shuri. At the ceremony, the Jabari Tribe's
leader M'Baku challenges T'Challa for the crown in ritual combat. T'Challa defeats M'Baku
and persuades him to yield rather than die.
When Klaue and his accomplice Erik Stevens steal a Wakandan artifact from a London
museum, T'Challa's friend and Okoye's lover W'Kabi urges him to bring Klaue back alive.
T'Challa, Okoye, and Nakia travel to Busan, South Korea, where Klaue plans to sell the
artifact to CIA agent Everett K. Ross. A firefight erupts and Klaue attempts to flee but is
caught by T'Challa, who reluctantly releases him to Ross' custody. Klaue tells Ross that
Wakanda's international image is a front for a technologically advanced civilization. Erik
attacks and extracts Klaue as Ross is gravely injured protecting Nakia. Rather than pursue
Klaue, T'Challa takes Ross to Wakanda, where their technology can save him.
Meanwhile, Killmonger kills Klaue and takes his body to Wakanda. He is brought
before the tribal elders, revealing his identity to be N'Jadaka and claim to the throne.
Killmonger challenges T'Challa to ritual combat, where he kills Zuri, defeats T'Challa, and
hurls him over a waterfall to his presumed death. Killmonger ingests the heart-shaped herb
and orders the rest incinerated, but Nakia extracts one first. Killmonger, supported by W'Kabi
and his army, prepares to distribute shipments of Wakandan weapons to operatives around
the world.
Nakia, Shuri, Ramonda, and Ross flee to the Jabari Tribe for aid. They find a comatose
T'Challa, rescued by the Jabari in repayment for sparing M'Baku's life. Healed by Nakia's
herb, T'Challa returns to fight Killmonger, who dons his own Black Panther suit. W'Kabi and
his army fight Shuri, Nakia, and the Dora Milaje, while Ross remotely pilots a jet and shoots
down planes carrying the vibranium weapons. M'Baku and the Jabari arrive to reinforce
T'Challa. Confronted by Okoye, W'Kabi and his army stand down. Fighting in Wakanda's
vibranium mine, T'Challa disrupts Killmonger's suit and stabs him. Killmonger refuses to be
healed, choosing to die a free man rather than be incarcerated.
T'Challa establishes an outreach center at the building where N'Jobu died, to be run
by Nakia and Shuri. In a mid-credits scene, T'Challa appears before the United Nations to
reveal Wakanda's true nature to the world. In a post-credits scene, Shuri helps Bucky Barnes
with his recuperation.

By the early 21st century, the process of globalization of social relations has
been practically completed in its due form. But with respect to the content, the hu-
mankind is still to become a global community. This assumes serious change in
people's outlook, cultural traditions and values. There is no alternative to the uni-
ted humankind and consequently, for the sake of preservation of the civilization on
the planet there should be established not only common principles and rules of
joint life, but also common responsibilities for every individual.
