Violence in Media and Its Effect on Behavior

By Faiza Khan Yousafzai  |   Submitted On February 28, 2015

One of the noteworthy changes in our social environment in the 20th and 21st centuries has been the infiltration of our culture and daily lives by the mass media. In general, researchers define violence in media as visual portrayals of physical aggression by one human or human-like character against another.
Violence is unfortunately one of the most popular forms of entertainment; over 60% of our prime time television shows contain some form of violence in a way or more. Most studies show that the relation between media violence and 'real' violence is interactive: media can contribute to an aggressive culture; people who are already aggressive use the media as further confirmation of their beliefs and attitudes, which, in turn, are reinforced through media content.

Students Prefer Video Lectures for Understanding Electronics Better

By Eshika Roy  |   Submitted On December 18, 2015

Many are skeptical that implementing video lectures will only make the students lazy to attend real lectures. Many also ask if students of electronics engineering even want educational lectures be delivered to them via media. They pose an important question that if a student is offered with an option to either watch a funny video of a cat dancing, and a video lecture of 15 minutes in length which one will they choose?

But those who are advocates of video classes are of the viewpoint that the assistance to students via video tutorials and tutorials can be additionally useful for students to grasp the subject as complicated as electronics. This will help the students learn better with constant guidance so that they can study at their own pace. Also with the availability of video lectures it will be especially helpful for students who couldn't make it to class once, or for those who do not speak English as their first language.

Social Media - Do You Have a Strategy?

By Jennie Gorman  |   Submitted On December 13, 2016

Social media has the same principles as face to face networking and is the most important part of your marketing. It not only enhances your relationship building but reinforces the outcomes you want from your business. We need to have strategies for our social media to help us achieve what we have created by making sure it is in both our business and marketing plans.

Most small businesses are not aware of how important it is to have both a business and marketing plans so that they are moving in the right direction. If we do not know what we want our business to be in the future, we can't create it, so the clarity of our VISION for our business is very important. Social media gives us the opportunity to market ourselves to a wider group of people and businesses whom we would never have the opportunity to connect.

Generating Publicity - Will The Media Be Interested In My Product or Business?

By Todd Brabender  |   Submitted On February 20, 2005

When it comes to launching a new business or product, some marketing consultants might say that EVERY product is appropriate for a publicity or media exposure campaign. That is true to a degree, but as a PR/publicity professional and former media person, I would qualify that statement by saying that although new products would benefit from a solid publicity campaign, not all businesses or products and their pitches will grab the attention of the media.
