Response to Isabella Bonilla's: Consumption of Mass Communication

Response to Isabella Bonilla's: Consumption of Mass Communication

By Piper Shiflet

As I read Isabella's article, Consumption of Mass Communication, I became more intrigued in her explanation and views on this topic. She pointed out many ideas and thoughts she had, as well as questions. Isabella ends her first paragraph with the question, "How do we observe this information, and whats the science behind the phycological categorization?" She expresses her thoughts about how we process mass communication, which interested me as well.
Throughout the article Isabella kept a consistent mindset, educating other people about what she already knew, and also diving deeper into topics we didn't discuss in our recent lectures in class. I found this quite interesting and found myself wanting to know the answer too.
She then goes to explain her interest in filters, especially the phycological filter. Isabella explained it as, "When you impose the physiological filter on your daily life, you basically shun this whole part of your world. If it doesn't fit your views, you won't even acknowledge." While explaining her interest in phycological filters, Isabella also talks about how difficult it is for many people to have a physical filter, where they are unable to read the paper based on a physical issue.
Overall I think that Isabella's article and writing style are very unique and make you question things as much as she questions it herself. I really enjoyed the fact that she could see her interest in the lecture, and how dedicated Isabella was to being attentive in class.

Impacts of the Metal Type Press Response

Impacts of the Metal Type Press Response By Piper Shiflet Today in class we discussed the impacts of the metal moving type press, created by Guttenberg, and how it effected the history of writing. We first talked about different things that improved when we starting to produce better books and other things, with the metal type press. We discussed it’s impact on religion, the spread of literacy among the lower class, how it improved our economy, and how it helped people share knowledge. I thought sharing knowledge was one of the most important topics we discussed, and the topic of how important the printing press was had also become relevant in our discussion. Being able to share knowledge meant that people from further distances didn’t have to hear the word from another person, and word of new inventions and discoveries would no longer be jumbled up like a game of telephone. Having a printing press meant that people could make documents about scientific discoveries that could chang...

Response to Demassification

Response to Demassification  By Piper Shiflet Demassification was a word I had never heard of until our recent discussion about the topic in class. We had covered mass communication in pervious weeks, but demassification was a new concept. The thought originally stuck in my head that demassification meant losing your mass audience in some way, but it wasn't, it was how you deal with losing your mass audience. I had to think about this for a long time, how exactly would I deal with losing a mass audience?  During this situation you would have to figure out how to gain your audience back, and this is seen everywhere, especially in social media, which I had realized as the definition was being told to me. You see demassification everywhere in this century, and that's why I was surprised that I had never heard of the term before. Demassification happens all the time, and I was oblivious. That's why I was so interested in this topic.  We then proceeded to learn about ...

My Response To LaNasia's: A Class Discussion!

My Response To LaNasia's: A Class Discussion! LaNasia typed an article discussing wha we had talked about recently in class, regarding not only the synagog shooting, but also the Kroger shooting. When I read over her blog, I noticed that she spoke about how we allow criminals mercy just because they have a mental illness. I had been talking about this situation a while back when the school shooting regarding Nikolas Cruz occurred. I noticed that many people who decide to shoot up local destinations, or commit hate crimes in general, usually show signs of having a mental illness or issue. L aNasia also talked about how people should be more accepting to others, she states, " This whole class discussion, and the crimes itself has me thinking of how I can become the start to the end of these problems, we as people, as Americans have failed this country, if we put aside whatever feelings, beliefs, and values we have just for a second, we can make a change." These words st...
