"If our language, our programs, our creations are not strongly present in the new media, the young generation of our country will be economically and culturally marginalized"
- Jacques Chirac
About this Quote
This quote by Jacques Chirac talks to the value of representation in the new media. He is cautioning that if the language, programs, and developments of a nation are not present in the new media, the young generation of that country will be financially and culturally marginalized. This indicates that the young people of the nation will not have access to the very same financial opportunities as those who are represented in the brand-new media, and they will not be able to take part in the very same cultural conversations. This might lead to an absence of understanding between generations, and an absence of financial and cultural development. Chirac is highlighting the value of representation in the new media, and the need for countries to ensure that their language, programs, and creations are present in the new media in order to make sure that their young people are not left behind.
