Intercultural convergence and the internet

After reading the article about Tredor, we can see how he did promote the campaign for peace and gather the huge number of participants to follow him in his action. The most striking point in the article is the age of Tredor.
To relate this article to the intercultural convergence, we saw how Tredor reached so many people. The tool he used to achieve the stated record in article is due the internet. The internet is a source of power that is extremely influencial and that can help exercise power. Tredor used easily accessible tools to lead his peace campaign and succeeded in reaching people that were far away from his location. Most imporatntly, he used visuals so that different obstacles of communication can be bypassed. The fact of using a video film helped him overcome the language problem.
We can clearly distinguish the effect of the video (passed through THE INTERNET) to influence and gather people from different origins, locations, and cultures. The video in this case is qualified of a perfect tool to use to bridge cultures and make people with different backgroounds converge about a action no matter where they are.
