Hi, Shannon, good ideas, but I had trouble with Internet influence being considered as westernization issues. Not all Internet users believe in democratic ideals, etc. Am I looking at the question too deeply?

Based upon the tenets of these three entities, I would say that c. socialization is the correct answer. The spread of American popular culture and ideals presages the influence of westernization and democratization. The European Union and the Internet include all the categories in different increments. Therefore, I was left with socialization.

Further update to my previous answer: http://thecomputersimpact.weebly.com/charles-babbages-influence.html https://www.britannica.com/technology/digital-computer#ref91694 The second site explains Babbage's influence on computers, in general, plus influences from American inventors and others. For some reason, I associate the development of the Internet with Charles Babbage, then the other inventors influenced the modern internet. I guess we are comparing apples and oranges from different perspectives. Thanks for reading this information, Mary
