My comments
The unit is Global ICT Practice, so when you write think about globalization in term of IT. You must use Hofstede’s Cultural model
http://geert-hofstede.com/countries.html
and you can find lot of youtube videos about Hofstede.
I’ve done an initial findings and presented two weeks ago, I just explained the Egyptian revolution, and that must be included in the Essay see the link below:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/19/books/review/how-an-egyptian-revolution-began-on-facebook.html?_r=0   and you will find many sources
So you can start with a Literature Review about the topic and then, write about different aspect and give examples and analyse the example by using Hofsted’s Cultural model

You can also write about how Obama used social media for his campaign 2008 becoming the first president campaign using social media and then he focused more on it 2012. And then analyse the American response again throw Hofsted’s model.

You can come up with two more examples, maybe China one of them. And again you must use the cultural model.

Please let me know if you need more clarifications or some of the unit content.
