This world has seen its hard times and with the disasters that go on, this world still manages to come together and raise awareness and money to help those countries or cities in need.

It seems through globalization, the world is more supportive then it used to be. You would think that with all the cynics out there, no one would be willing to help, but with natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and terrorist attacks on the World
Trade Center, the world seems much more giving when it comes to donating money. It’s good to know that the people who suffer are not alone, there are individuals and organizations willing to help.

Technology has advanced over the centuries. We used to get our news from horse and carriage and Morse code, and for a long time, radio was the only source of broadcasting the news. Now we can watch televised events and actually see what is going on overseas and with various wars. With minute-by-minute updated news websites such as cnn.com or canada.com, PR practitioners are consistently informed about what is going on overseas. Also, with email, text messaging and BlackBerries, PR practitioners can keep in communication with others 24/7. With more and more advancements of technology, PR practitioners, and everyone for that matter, will not be hindered, but helped in getting information heard around the world.
