This comprehensive view is the fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society, encompassing the entirety of the individual or society’s knowledge and point of view (Wikipedia 2013)
Olu and Iduaja (2007) noted that, with the mass production of visual images made television, cinema, internet, etc, the world has eventually become a global village sharing different world views in common.
