Language and statements follow their own rules, and allow us to do and say certain things, but the relationship between our statements and the world outside them is not rule-governed.

The Language of MASS MEDIA

Wittgenstein theme of “language games” can be exploited explicitly in the literature. What we showed is that between the activities called LANGUAGE GAMES there are more relations of functional analogies or conceptual functionality. According to LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN is saying, there were different people with the different verbal communication, but the message is conveying in there comfortable language. There is different verbal communication with different public and these are following there rules and regulation. “There is, in other words, something primordial, something foundational, about thinking visually”.

All messages conveying the meaning, without any rules they saying there meaning. For example if we talked about RAJ THAKAREY, his conveying message is so crucial and idiot (sometime it make sense) the main views he wants to present in front of civic, that is saying is totally right others are worth less. Actually RAJ THAKAREY’s speech is so prejudice, that is the reason Marathi Manus gets easily attracted towards it. And he always opposes bahiyya’s. His speech emphasizes to those public whose go through his ways.

It can be targeted to the audience, were audience get influence from one speech and get more and more influenced in these kinds of issues.

 

Naroda Patiya massacre

The Naroda Patiya massacre took place on 28 February 2002 at Naroda, Gujrat, during the Gujrat riots, killing lots of people.The post-Godhra rioting, which lasted over 10 hours, had seen the mob looting, stabbing, sexually assaulting, gang-raping and burning people individually and in groups. After the conflict, a curfew was imposed in the state and army troops were called in to contain further violence.This was termed as the largest mass killing case in 2002, during the Gujrat riots, as it recorded the largest number of deaths at once!

Survivors faced socio-economic issues as many were left homeless, orphaned, injured, and physically abused, and in addition a number of shrines were destroyed and studies were also affected because various educational institutions cancelled exams or closed. The surviving victims were immediately given shelter in relief camps provided by the state and central government, and efforts to restore the destroyed properties and shrines were initiated

Gujrat Special Court has announced on accused  61, a blame worth has been only 32 people. Whereas 29 out of them got bail as well.

David Brodwell!

There is a difference between the story given to the viewer through the narrative and the story communicated to the audience through the media language.

The coverage of Mumbai terror attacks would be the best way to explain the above mentioned phrase. When the terror broke out it was only a threat of terror and naxalism but when later media involved in brought another angle to the entire, and that is the relation between India and Pakistan. Also than it involved the major role of muslims in it. Later for every kind of terror happening around the people made a mind-set it is the muslim community doing it. This is now the story of terror turned to be communal thing. No doubt the people involved in it were muslims but does it actually means that every muslims are the same No it’s not that but we do have the mentality that muslims are the reason for terror.

 

^{Godhra Riots!}

  

They hanged muslim kids first, and then they burned them!

On 27 February 2002, 58 Hindus including 25 women and 15 children, activists of the Vishva Hindu Parishad and other Hindu pilgrims returning by the Sabarmathi express train from Ayodhya, were burnt alive in a railway coach by a large Muslim mob. in a conspiracy. The conspiracy theory was backed by the fact that rumor of Abduction of Muslims girls by Kar Sevak was spread throughout the locality which is a Muslim majority area.
Initial media reports blamed the local Muslims for setting the coach on fire. The New Nanavati Report states that the Attack on the "Kar Sevaks" on the train from Ayodhya was pre-planned, and exonerates Chief Minister Narendra Modi. A previous report on the Godhra train burning, filed by Justice Banerjee, a more recent report filed by Justice Nanavati states that it was "pre-planned" by the mob. The Gujarat High Court ruling, as of 2006, has declared as illegal and unconstitutional, setting up of the Umesh Chandra Banerjee committee, which had concluded the fire started by accident. Gujarat High Court quashed the conclusions of the Banerjee Committee and declared its formation as a "colourful exercise," "illegal, unconstitutional, null and void," and its argument of accidental fire "opposed to the prima facie accepted facts on record.".Going further, the report claims that one Hassan Lalu had thrown burning objects into the train and 140 litres of petrol had been used to set the train on fire, adding that stones were thrown at passengers to stop them from fleeing.
Nine years after the Godhra train went up in flames the court on 22 February 2011 pronounced its judgement. Additional Session Judge delivered the verdict and convicted 31 Muslims and acquitted 63.The bodies of those killed in the train were brought to Ahmedabad, where a procession was held, a move seen as a major provocation for the ensuing communal violence. The VHP issued a call for a state-wide strike on 28 February 2002, which was supported by the BJP. In February 2011, the findings of the Nanavati-Mehta commission were upheld in court, and the Godhra train burning was called a "pre-planned conspiracy". 31 people were convicted of setting fire to the train and "roasting alive 59 helpless kar sevaks." of which 11 were sentenced to death and 20 to life sentences.
 

"LOST IN TRANSLATION"

 

trans·la·tion/transˈlāSHən/

    The process of translating words or text from one language into another: "Constantine's translation of Arabic texts into Latin".
    A written or spoken rendering of the meaning of a word, speech, book, or other text, in another language.

That is what appears on you desktop when you google the meaning of the word TRANSLATION
 
Fundamentally every language is the same,FUNDAMENTALLY.
When we use different languages to convey our thoughts,we put together pieces of ideas that come up in our head and frame sentences.Blue is still Blue in chinese or Door is still door in german. However,how can saying the same thing create scuh chasm between intentions?

Translations is similar to and perhaps should be renamed,Transmutation.In transmutation, old achemists tried to transmute one substance into another, say metal into sand,lead into gold. Offcourse they werent succesfull, at the height of proficiency all they could do is make something which looks like gold.I suppose a similar effect is seen when we translate anything.

News is one of those crucial events of a noRmal human beings every day chore...And i believe not much but yeah a lot of it does get lost in translation! Also the impact of the original conversation/peice of article is lost in translations.
News media though isnt much affected because of the reasons of the pictures being included AND pictures talk for themself.

India's EDUCATION STATE- a LET DOWN!

India,home to Tremendous inventions and inventors."ZERO" which was  revolution in itself in the arithematic world was discovered n India. Aryabhatta,Sushruta,C.V Raman, AP.J Abdul Kalam and all of these were born in india..were all ahead of their times.

India is full of knowledge with the help of more innovation and techniques in education to know more n more what’s happening in world or we can say in global. Recent news is that were school-leaving student in HIMACHAL PRADESH AND TAMILNADU, were got poor result in mathematics, science and reading among, because of their education language is limited. It is not full of proper knowledge.  Students need practical education more than theory, so they can follow the procedure, how to make it? How to use it...if any of student has got more theory he will be frustrate. Better than he need more practical with the help of audio-visual, which help him out from the crisis

“Government blames India's poor educational score on cultural disconnect” in this they said student doesn’t reach up to the level. Due to the low marks in math’s, in science. And how chines student make up to the mark? If you give limited education to your student then it will be limited only it won’t get beyond the line. Student or leaner need national, international education including globally also.
              Indian students are roped in globally,they have all the knowledge,but still they lack behind some or the other way.
Also, Literacy is still a problem in India. Besides Kerala and West bengal our literacy rates arent that efficient.We need to start from the very foundation,start education every child and every possible person in India. Only then can Inida's poor educational Score shall improve.

Capital Punishment.

Capital punishment or the death penalty is a legal process whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. The judicial decree that someone be punished in this manner is a death sentence, while the actual process of killing the person is an execution. Crimes that can result in a death penalty are known as capital crimes or capital offences. The term capital originates from the Latin capitalis, literally "regarding the head" (referring to execution by beheading).

Capital punishment has in the past been practised by most societies (one notable exception being Kievan Rus) currently 58 nations actively practise it, and 97 countries have abolished it (the remainder have not used it for 10 years or allow it only in exceptional circumstances such as wartime). It is a matter of active controversy in various countries and states, and positions can vary within a single political ideology or cultural region. In the European Union member states, Article 2 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union prohibits the use of capital punishment.

Currently Amnesty International considers most countries abolitionist. The UN General Assembly has adopted, in 2007, 2008 and 2010, non-binding resolutions calling for a global moratorium on executions, with a view to eventual abolition. Although many nations have abolished capital punishment, over 60% of the world's population live in countries where executions take place, such as the People's Republic of China, India, the United States of America and Indonesia, the four most-populous countries in the world, which continue to apply the death penalty (although in India, Indonesia and in many US states it is rarely employed). Each of these four nations voted against the General Assembly resolutions

                            Shut not your doors to me proud libraries,
                            For that which was lacking on all your well-fill'd shelves, yet
                            needed most, I bring,
                            Forth from the war emerging, a book I have made,
                           The words of my book nothing, the drift of it every thing,
                           A book separate, not link'd with the rest nor felt by the intellect,
                           But you ye untold latencies will thrill to every page.


Walter "Walt" Whitman (May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free-verse. His work was very controversial in its time, particularly his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sexuality.


Words can inspire, encourage, support, or they can break one’s spirits and heart, discourage, disappoint, ruin self-esteem and belief. Words have an exceptional meaning for children, especially when they come from someone they love, respect and look up to. Harsh and offensive words said by parents can harm their child much worse that any stick or stone. 

Of course actions in most cases have even stronger demonstrative abilities. However, we should not forget that people still tend to believe words both consciously and subconsciously. There is another saying that word is not a bird - if you let it out, you will not get it back. This means that no matter how many times you apologize for what you said, the person will still know that there was a time when you meant what you said. Apology can be accepted, and words can seemingly be forgotten, but subconsciously they will still influence your relations and psychology of that person.

What came first? Culture or Communication. :D

The relationship between communication and culture is a very complex and intimate one. First, cultures are created through communication; that is, communication is the means of human interaction through which cultural characteristics— whether customs, roles, rules, rituals, laws, or other patterns—are created and shared. It is not so much that individuals set out to create a culture when they interact in relationships, groups, organizations, or societies, but rather that cultures are a natural by-product of social interaction. In a sense, cultures are the “residue” of social communication. 
                                Without communication and communication media, it would be impossible to preserve and pass along cultural characteristics from one place and time to another. One can say, therefore, that culture is created, shaped, transmitted, and learned through communication. The reverse is also the case; that is, communication practices are largely created, shaped, and transmitted by culture.


All institutions within society facilitate communication, and in that way, they all contribute to the creation, spread, and evolution of culture. However, communication media such as television, film, radio, newspapers, compact discs, magazines, computers, and the Internet play a particularly important role. Because media extend human capacities for creating, duplicating, transmitting, and storing messages, they also extend and amplify culture-building activities. By means of such communication technology, messages are transmitted across time and space, stored, and later retrieved and used. 
                              Television programs, films, websites, video games, and compact discs are created through human activity—and therefore reflect and further extend the cultural perspectives of their creators. They come to take on a life of their own, quite distinct and separate from their creators, as they are transmitted and shared around the increasingly global community.
A number of questions also concern researchers and policymakers in this area. 
                              As communication increases between individuals, groups, and countries, does this mean that cultural differences and traditions will inevitably erode altogether? Will the cultures of individuals from groups, organizations, and societies that have great access to and control of communication media overpower those in cultures that have fewer resources and less access and control? Can knowledge be used to help individuals more comfortably and effectively adapt to new relationships, groups, organizations, and societies?

A picture tells its own story!

And when you see the picture i have used here, It definitely makes your brain filter a lot of thoughts. Everyone who will see this picture will try to connect with what the picture is all about. It just magically brings in thoughts and speaks for itself without realy,any syllable communication. The beauty of a picture,speaks for itself.
                                                                                When i was a kid,infact most of us all we did is look through the pictures we had in our books. Infact,i assure most of us knew how an Apple looked before we knew how to spell it.
                                                 For centuries along,pictures were used as evidences for most of the things. Pictures were a proof, a way to show what someone saw,experienced. Long back when there were no emails and Telegraph was way too expensive and people went along for vacations all they used to send was a Picture postcard of the place they were at and the family used to get it all. The message was thoroughly conveyed.
                                   "Pictures speak a thousand words"
Also, may be the most interesting part of pictures is..It may seem different to different people.

The beauty of Human brain,i must say! There was a survey done,The above picture was shown to around 1000 people(different races,culture,Status) and also they were segregated accordingly.
Yeah,there were many common answers but some answers were so different that the researchers concluded A picture may well say a thousand words, but those thousand words will always mean different things to different people.
                    Communication,Exchange of ideas is done most efficiently through pictures. As the researches concluded,it may mean a lot of different things to each and hence a lot of communication.A lot of exchange of ideas. On an informal note,When you miss your friend and suddenly you come across one of his/her pictures ,the emotion is amplified. The picture brings about all possible emotions and memories connected with that one picture.Also, if am blogging about how severely Tsunami had affected India back in 2006, Ofcourse,how i use my words would matter but adding a picture would bring along a difference on a massive scale.
                           This Blog itself would be not as much impactful as it is now with the inclusion of the pictures. For me, photographs take their power from memory and emotion. A picture tells its own story, shaped by the mood or insights of the person you are at the time you see it.
