Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book titled Media literacy and media ethics. The only way out by Sabahudin Hadzialic is a collection of 40 essays (written between 2016-19) devoted to the challenges facing modern media society. The author in the content of the book particularly emphasizes the importance of conscious social (civic) participation in the decision-making process at the micro and macro levels. He attaches special importance to education to the media and through the media. According to the author, preparation for participation in the media requires critical thinking. However, this problem is even deeper. Today's algorithms are so complex that they analyze our preferences, choices made (e.g., browsed websites on the Internet), content and by adapting to them suggest other related ones.
Download or read book The Way of Silence written by David Steindl-Rast and published by Franciscan Media. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The tranquility of order is a dynamic tranquility, the stillness of a flame burning in perfect calm, of a wheel spinning so fast that it seems to stand still. Silence in this sense is not only a quality of the environment, but primarily an attitude, an attitude of listening. " Let us give to one another that gift of silence, so that we can listen together and listen to one another. Only in this silence will we be able to hear that gentle breath of peace, that music to which the spheres dance, that universal harmony to which we, too, hope to dance." Austrian-born Benedictine monk David Steindl-Rast is one of the most influential and beloved spiritual teachers of our time. For decades, Brother David has divided his time between periods of monastic life at the Mount Saviour Monastery in New York and extensive lecture tours on five continents. He has brought spiritual depth into the lives of countless people, whom he touches through his lectures, his workshops and his writings. Brother David was one of the first Roman Catholics to participate in Buddhist-Christian dialogue, studying under Zen teachers and building bridges between religious traditions. His newest book, The Way of Silence, draws heavily on Buddhist teachings to cultivate the practice of “deep” listening: turning away from noise and distraction, paying attention, and embracing quiet. The Way of Silence embraces paradox: absence versus presence in silence. Dynamic tranquility. The all-oneness of aloneness. Humbly, trusting in God, you’ll practice emptying your mind in order to receive wisdom, insight, and understanding. You’ll learn to listen deeply, with a trusting heart—and you’ll joyously discover a new, interior freedom that will make you feel more vibrant, and more fully alive.

Jennifer knew that everyone deserves a voice! Then the Americans with Disabilities Act, a law that would make public spaces much more accessible to people with disabilities, was proposed to Congress. And to make sure it passed, Jennifer went to the steps of the Capitol building in Washington DC to convince them. And, without her wheelchair, she climbed. ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP!

Download or read book Social Media and Politics written by Glenn W. Richardson Jr. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume set explores the various ways social media are profoundly changing politics in America. The last decade has seen dramatic changes in the U.S. political process. The advent of social media and other new forms of expression have enabled an unprecedented number of citizens to enter the political arena by expressing their opinions about issues and candidates in ways that can influence untold numbers of voters and officials. But the vast majority of politicians have not fully grasped how social media has fundamentally changed the process of communication or adjusted to the dramatic shift in political power that is taking place. Written by experts on the intersections of politics, public opinion, and popular culture, this book examines how new media have brought political "power to the people" like never before, provided new channels through which politicians communicate and attempt to influence public opinion, and caused a game-changing shift in political power. Volume one focuses on how savvy politicians are learning to communicate in new ways via new media in order to enhance their political appeal. The second volume examines the various ways in which individuals or groups who use new/social media are affecting voters' decisions, applying pressure to elected or appointed officials, and influencing the direction of the country.

Download or read book Uncertainty of Communication Interpreting Global Social Media Communication in a Way of Philosophy of Science written by Dong Chao and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-05-26 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper attempts to jump out of the original interpretation framework of social science and to explain new communication phenomena in a novel way of philosophy of science. The paper believes that the development of the communication revolution, especially the recent information technology revolution, not only makes human being step into an advanced information society but also fundamentally changes the traditional communication methods. So, when traditional communication science is insufficient to interpret novel media phenomena, using the philosophy of science to explain these new communication phenomena is not only feasible but also necessary. This paper thinks that the so-called philosophy of science is the product of "transforming science knowledge into wisdom", including not only the concept and methodology of natural science, but also the humanistic understanding of modern science.
