• I.E The challenges facing traditional advertising (reaching clientele, monetization,“cancel culture”).
• II.C Bridging cultural and language communication barriers (globalization, universal acceptance (UA)).
• II.D Accuracy and fallacies of digital media (“zombie” information, confirmation bias, deep fakes or similar).
