SummaryA filmmaker’s ultimate role is to properly present images in sequence that tell a story and/or conveys a message or several of them therefore. With various imagery tools, movies present a message in a way that makes them seem natural and fitting for the context that it is presented in. Whether it’s a horror movie, documentary or educational film, the media gives us ways of imagining particular groups, identities and situations. This is most often defined as a stereotype.

SummaryThe changing face of today’s classroom has been linked to the direct correlation to a child’s achievement. Since the late 1980’s, nearly $5 billion more was spent annual on classroom technology (Foltos). This rise in funding positively displays the effect these new methods of teaching have on education as a whole. According to Larry Cuban in 2002, fewer than 20% of teachers used technology in the classroom and nearly half of all teachers didn’t use it at all. Although, when the materials were used, they were not necessarily utilized to improve teaching or learning (Foltos).

SummaryWriting is the most powerful tool that was given to humans. However, verbal communication is easier. Many people can articulate and verbally relate information they seek to pass on to their peers. Writing is a way of making sure that the message stays with the masses for a longer period of time. There are different ways to write; a piece of writing is created to send a message. Two seemingly different pieces of writing can sometimes hold unique comparisons. In this paper, we will seek to examine correlations and differences between two pieces of writing by two completely different individuals on two unrelated topics, to show that written messages can be very powerful, unique and similar at the same time.

SummaryThe mirror is quite an interesting and useful tool; they allow people to see themselves in great detail and in ways one would never imagine possible. This greater perspective of oneself is very important for various reasons that run the gamut from physical aesthetics to inspecting oneself for abnormalities. As such, we trust the mirror to be as accurate as possible in relaying information about ourselves and we would find no use in them if they twisted or distorted the original image. As the primary source of information in contemporary industrial society, we rely upon the media to do the very same. As the proverbial mirror of society, we trust the media to faithfully relay accurate information to us so that we may better understand our world. Suppose for a moment that the media better resembled the likes of a funhouse mirror rather than those loyal panes of glass we stand in front of every morning. The consequences of this distortion would most definitely be a cause for serious concern. Crime and criminality are often found at the forefront of television news casts, the front page of newspapers, in our movies and in our video games. The former not being a far cry from the latter, it would seem as though criminal behaviour is indeed quite a popular area of concern to the many of us peering into the societal mirror. However, the nature in which crime is depicted is not often faithful to reality, and therein lies the problem: our faithful bearer of information is, in reality, much more similar to the likes of a carnival funhouse mirror; one that is better suited for amusement rather than serious inspection. Unfortunately, as one of our primary sources of information, the ramifications of this distortion find their way deep into the very policies used in crime control.

SummaryCommunication competence is the concept or framework that defines communication as we know it. It covers the all of the bases of communication, from talking to a person individually, to specific cases where logistics and demographics come into play. In order to be able to communicate over a large contextual area, such as group, interpersonal, public, mass media or intrapersonal, a person must have at least a standing knowledge of communication competence. Drawing back to the time of Plato and Aristotle, we can find instances where communication competence has drawn its rots.
These are the ten principles of communication competence that are most intertwined in our society today. These principles, if used singularly, are incredibly useful but when used together extremely potent.

SummaryTo a certain degree, the actions of individuals have an effect on their environment. However, our surroundings more dramatically influence our everyday experiences and shape our personalities. Two of the most popular cultural mediums, film and television, extend to mass audiences who eagerly absorb all the messages they have to offer, especially the appealing topics of social taboo and political controversy. John Fiske and Adorno examine both the obvious and subtle effects of visual media, providing some similar and other contrasting theories on its portrayal of reality. Fiske argues a theory that more accurately relates to modern times. Fiske depicts a visual media defined by content deliberately chosen by conscious directors that is manipulated into the message they wish the public to receive. After comparing viewpoints, one might appreciate the amusing coincidence of today’s most popular form of American television: Reality Television.

I graduated in May from Emerson College with a BFA in Writing, Literature and Publishing. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent there, my teachers, my classes, and I left emerged in a love affair with all aspects of books and the English language. From proofreading to copy editing, from the choice of fonts and paper and size, book publishing is a field that amazes me, and I would love to become part of the process.

SummaryWhen Ana Pichrtova talks about mountain running her eyes light up; she can’t disguise the pure joy that these trail treks bring her. “I just love it! I love the trails, I love running- that’s it!” Pichrtova exudes. Most elites, like Pichrtova, know the benefits of training on arduous mountains. They increase the cardiovascular system’s capabilities, they improve a runner’s strength and when it comes to running faster 5K’s, training in the mountains can help you slice seconds off your current PR. But when it comes to common road warriors most don’t understand (or choose to neglect!) just how beneficial mountain running can be. No one said that climbing a mountain was easy, in fact it can be quite the difficult task, but when it comes to overcoming an existing plateau there may not be anything better than hitting the hills hard.

SummaryIt is argued by a noted historian that the federal government sets the policies and the people calmly follow. However, for that to be the case, one would have to ignore the many riots and protests that have taken place in America from 1945-present. Also, this noted historian says that the central policy makers are sophisticated, trained professionals who understand the complexity of foreign and domestic affairs. Again, one would have to ignore the entire Korean War, Vietnam War, and the Cold War. Then the noted historian goes on to say that the general public is less competent and often incapable of dealing with the myriad of issues of national life.

SummaryDemocracy is defined today as “a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system.” In the time of Plato and Aristotle, there was a simple definition that was essentially “rule of the people,” which is not far off from the modern day definition. However, in this ancient time, the government system of Democracy was something that was not held in high esteem by philosophers, scholars, and the like. In the following pages, I will analyze the reasons that both Aristotle and Plato thought Democracy to be a poor form of government, as well as explain the alternative forms of government that they believe would function more suitably. Upon completing the final paragraph, one will be able to understand how they viewed Democracy and why they believed it to be faulty.
