Growing digital divide in globalization is a matter of change in ..................... .
Answer: A
The key treats the growing digital divide as a change in material culture.
Material culture is the physical side of culture: tools, machines, buildings and technology. The digital divide is unequal access to computers, smartphones, broadband and the internet, that is, to technological artefacts, between rich and poor, urban and rural, or men and women.
Non-material culture covers values, beliefs, norms and language. Ogburn's idea of cultural lag holds that material culture changes faster than non-material culture, and the digital divide is a case of rapidly changing material culture reaching people unevenly. Popular culture and mass culture refer to forms of entertainment and media consumption rather than to access to technology itself.
