Journal – The Evolution of Media
I will use journalist as a focus of the evolution of media. It’s amazing to me to think that only decades ago could we rely on the “news” at a certain time on a couple of TV channels or in the newspaper or radio and at that only by “qualified” professionals. Through the advancement of technology though, many ports have been opened that allow the beginner journalist a seat at the table. The ease of using an I-phone, creating a blog or even an “APP” has cut through the time and cost it takes to be a seasoned veteran. This can be a good thing because it gives an opportunity to many more people than what would have been previously available. You’re able to see more rounded out perspectives. However with this also come many challenges. The “gatekeepers” typically had this responsibility to deal with especially on the negatives sides of it. They have been trained and commissioned to handling this responsibility. Kind of like if it is you’re only job than you are responsible for just that.

Rhetorical Summary

After having read Marshall McLuhan, Rhetoric, and the Prehistory of Media Studies by John Guillory, I have examined the relationship between rhetoric, and other disciplines, like grammar and dialectic, to uncover the evolution of this relationship over time.

Cumulative Cultural Evolution

Cultural evolution has predictable patterns. Phylogenetic comparative studies show that cultural traits in southeast Asia, the Pacific, and sub-Saharan Africa change at similar relative rates regardless of historical context. The rate of change varies among different cultural traits: those related to social structures, such as material culture, carry a neutral survival value and change more rapidly than those related to external environmental conditions, e.g. technology, which are subject to natural…

Popular Culture Essay

Latin American women and the evolution of TV To think about a woman in general is already partially sexualized by the media, but now think about a Latin American woman and how the media has affected the mental image you have now.
