Industrialization uprooted great numbers of people from age-old rural settlements and relocated them in cities”(1). Thus urbanization pulled individuals away from traditional leaderships The more the tradition-bound forms of need satisfaction disintegrated; the more traditional leadership disintegrated; and the more firmly political communication assumed the tasks of instructing individuals how to match their needs and wants with the available stock of leadership. Quite simply, individuals need guidance on what par...

The developed phase of the market-industrial society is the consumer society.  The dramatic rise in real incomes freed most individuals in the consumer society from concentrating on the bare necessities of life. Freedom from concentrating on the bare necessities of life; rise in discretionary spending, and leisure time led to other ‘freedoms’: (a)        Freedom to think about issues other than bread and butter. (b)        Freedom to pursue human wants not directly tied to basic necessities. These freedoms developed new expectations in people. Newly found independence asserted in readiness to endorse anyone who could prove to be capable in...

Political communication represents a “privileged form of discourse” about concerns in modern society__ meaning simply that we accord what it says a place of special prominence in our lives. In pre-industrial age, the forms of privileged discourse that touched the lives of ordinary persons were church sermons, political oratory of patriarch, and the words and precepts of family elders. Such influences remain in rural and tribal areas of the modern world, but their prominence within the affairs of urban life and the rhetorical force and moral authority that they carry are generally sharply diminished to nothing. The space left as these influences have diminished has been filled largely by the ‘discourse through and abou...

He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. Pervasiveness of political communication underlines the continuing need to understand reasons that not only brought political communication at the first place but also kept it at the very heart of the process of dynamic change in our political culture. Industrialization marked a watershed in human’s history. Job beckoned multitude of people; and as people gravitated to where the industries were, cities sprang up. In industrialized societies, people had imperfect information about the problems and people who could solve them. In contrast, a small scale community had no need for media advertising; because the sources of solutions (tribal chiefs) were nearby and word-of-mouth communication was adequate to enlighten and g...

Frustration for not being real ·        Frustrated celebrity is obsessed with shredding his image in an attempt to be more than what he is packaged and sold as and to be flesh and blood and real.    Capability of judging and media narrative ·         One is not capable of judging things on his own as long as one is dictated by the dominant media narrative. Bigger than yourself ·        What makes you feel bigger than yourself? Feelings justify. You are right if it because of attaining the sense of justice and lower than yourself if it because of doing injustice.

Heresy is the shadow.. ·        Heresy is the shadow of every orthodoxy. Every orthodox sees his own as the only true interpretation and who ever deviated from it is heretic.   True to colors ·         Person is true to his colors if he is not opposite of what he is packages and sold as. Doting Fans ·         Fans are really doting if they take talking through song (of singer they adore) for signing. Contentment ·        Contentment has not much to do with success or even with the scale of success. One cannot have contentment as long as things are not what one sees himsel...

Men like animals procreate by copulation. Men feel thirst and hunger and so do animals. Man is different from animal as latter is minus morality. God does not teach through revelations the craft of living. Revealed books do not contain any guidance for cooking, knitting, sowing, building roads and bridges. Humans learnt such things through experience or observation (of animals engaged in different activities). Revelations deal with ...
