Response to Mya Cummins's Blogpost "Steps to Mass Communication"


Although we went heavily in depth on the steps of mass communication in class, it helped me out a lot to read Mya's blogpost on it. She carefully explained each of the five steps and gave examples of each. It isn't hard to tell that she fully grasped the subject, since she was able to explain it well in her blog. I would highly recommend the post to anyone looking for an explanation of mass communication, as well as to other students to use for test preparation.

Response to Morgan David's Blogpost "Convincing A Human That Aliens Exist"

In the beginning of her article titled "Convincing A Human That Aliens Exist", Morgan David asks a question. "Have you ever had a conversation with a person but you just can't seem to get your point across?" She goes on to reason that this is because of communication filters, and I don't disagree. But Morgan does not explain why or how this works the way it works. I've always had an issue with having to explain my ideas and beliefs to people that just were not able to comprehend it, no matter how hard I tried to get my point across. I wasn't speaking a foreign language or yelling at them incoherently - what I was saying was perfectly fine. They were just completely unable to hear out my ideas and even consider their validity.  It's nothing new that everyone in our society is conditioned to think a certain way from a very young age, and that that conditioning heavily influences a person's morals and beliefs. For instance, if both of your...

Hate Crimes and Hating Crime (Response to Satchel Walton's Blogpost "Drop by Drop Upon the Heart")

To quote Satchel Walton, "The actions of three people trying to counter a world in which all peoples live together in harmony will never define the first country built on enlightenment ideals and equality." It broke my heart to hear about the Kroger shooting, Pittsburg shooting, and attempted bomb mailing that took place this past week. It was even sadder to hear about it in school on Monday. Even still, I was thankful that the J&C freshman classes came together to discuss the events in a truthful, respectful environment. Reading Satchel's blog post was a great reminder of the class conversation and a good analysis of it and the events that took place. He says a few different times that hate crimes are on a increasing trend, and asks a question of the reader: Why is this happening? We don't have solid, complete answers to that question or other related questions, but we do know that due to our country and world's political state that hate is at a recent ...

Response to KC Ciresi's Media Critique of CNN News

In her article critiquing an article published by CNN News about three infants killed at a daycare in New York, KC Ciresi claims it isn't newsworthy. She makes the argument that while this might be relevant to the friends and family of the victims and the New York community, it didn't matter to her in Louisville, Kentucky. While this is a valid critique and I don't necessarily disagree completely, this story does have a purpose on a national news source. Around the entire country, there are hundreds of thousands of parents with children that go to daycare every day. If you were a parent of a child in daycare, wouldn't you want to be informed about large events going on in other daycares around the country? In addition, people do like to be informed about what's going on around the country. I sure would want to be informed if three children were stabbed to death (which in this case, they were). KC is correct that this story doesn't apply to everyone, maybe n...
