The View From The Culture Communication
This summary was created to express the importance of culture as a communication hub and vice versa.
Culture is a process that builds on the interaction that allows a man to build a society and the definition of the conditions necessary for life, then to the media today, are an important part of culture and expansion.
This is why in our time can not think or understand communication if not part of the culture. Since each of these parties merely communicate and express the culture from which we belong. From there comes a sentence which can explain the topic at hand: "As the culture give us men if we fail to communicate with each other?.
The functioning of human societies is possible through communication. Therefore it is impossible to talk about communication and communication processes when it comes to culture and vice versa, as has always been a communicative phenomena as part of a culture.
Communication and Culture and the big studio behind them occupy a wide range of research that prevail to this day it holds exploration without numbers ranging from "National Policies? to "Latin American Telenovelas?.
Speaking of completely generalized terms about communication and culture is very easy to convert these two conjunctions ambiguous terms, for this reason is more complicated to find which of the two is everything, or that is more complicated in comparison with the other .
After my critical reading and trying to fully analyze such a complicated issue, I discovered something very important in this document is a problem that often affects us, so will try to be as clear as possible starting with the basics:
Our culture forged in us-the people-that we will gradually unfold it through various communications and media, trends, customs, ideologies, and ways to live the life that makes us different a being from another-but how like knowing that what we communicate is the right thing, or how to recognize who tells us all kinds of information?
Here we come to the meeting point of our reading which establishes the hierarchy of communicator and communications expert. It is very difficult to differentiate from each other ignorant because the media are often handled by empirical and technicians, and ordinary human being who is not in the critical and analytical search of what they hear or see, simply recepta all not aware of thinking about the importance of this common factor. This is an emerging problem chained to another to form a vicious circle difficult to leave.
In this analysis we reach the issue of popular culture, but initially
What is popular culture?
It is the culture of peoples, which refers to the mass, but otherwise
also makes review of what we define as belonging to a nation or territory, giving us some kind of identity to a group.
In our study, popular culture is compared with the character of an old lady saying it was an issue that had not pressed (dominant), and now press (dominates) this means that socio-communicative force that did not have is now the most under, leaving other demonstrations while important, are now part of the background, positioning popular in a privileged position.
It is important to recognize that popular demonstrations scans are done, the pieces performed by, and in turn produce a number of micro-scans that are not clear or accurate, and easily create powerful social transformations.
This phenomenon of what may initially seem popular solution for the differentiation needed to have certain classes, but without taking into account that is more important if we care about socio-cultural interaction of people within a society without discrimination or isolation wait any kind, and like the author I wonder what would happen if social change was well established in the hands of political leaders and manage hegemonic, ideological and economic society. But we know that the problem of culture is more democracy or totalitarianism, two entirely separate and conflicting parts, the first since being grouped collective decisions that complete power over the people who make pate of the people. The second being the political system where the state has absolute power.
Furthermore, and not diminished in our study we discuss the close relationship we also find among culture, communication and technology The emergence of technology has allowed man to the construction of different objects, the modification of the environment including plants and animals, the slow destruction itself, for its own sake. This activity but affects social progress, is also involved in the deterioration of our environment.
Each culture distributed in different ways making functions always thinking that way will benefit the same. As the introduction of new technologies and replace human functions change when change is sufficiently widespread, can also change human relationships, so that ends up generating a new social order.
The technologies are not independent of culture, it integrated with social and technical system currently inseparable.
The technology represents one of the most remarkable steps in the evolution of man, and has had great influence on the human being from poorer societies to richer ones. Significantly know that technology brings both sides gives a positive side to things really good and effective as increasing the time and the use of it in other more interesting work, reduced effort and in turn less physical and mental exhaustion (in if not actually called that wear as something positive - or negative - needed in man), generation of new jobs, increased human productivity at work, increased living standards that help guide hundreds of businesses, cities , corporations, governments and so on. But while there is a downside, which drags man to unemployment due to replacement is that while the machines leads to economic recession, social stratification, ie as people are categorized by degree of training resulting in a larger scale between rich and poor, transformation of customs - lifestyle - views the world - stress, eating on the massive deterioration of spiritual values and proceed to complete the assessment of other objects, environmental pollution , all estodestruye man, ideological, putting it against others for no reason.
This begs the question as a society on which side of technology we are. I think as a third world Latin American country, we live in bondage to other technologically advanced powers that oppress and exploit us, who come expecting us to give all for their own benefit without ambition and hopefully nothing more for her scraps. As a society we must emancipate ourselves and say "enough? to anything that does not leave us free to follow a path other than the road constantly these political benefits.
We must defend our culture to the hilt, without allowing that belongs to someone other than ourselves, the true owners of who we are and what we have, to ensure the promotion of our culture, values, this holds transform, adapt and enrich both, not a material enrichment, but rather a spiritual enrichment, it fills us as human beings.
In closing I can only quote a matter raised by this document and that seems significant to me to continue on the path that the more we benefit as a society and culture.
"There are two kinds of texts. Those who raise questions, and the solution (or at least I try). There are two modes of speech: those who collect and systematize information and those who bring something new (or at least I try). Hopefully this document will be of those who formulate questions and provide?.
Personally I think it is time without communication specialists, we are simply to communicate to contribute something to society rather than trash, the only thing they do is pollute the environment, this document if it was helpful to me, confirmed my thinking and to see life with its elements (technology, communication and culture).
