Blog Post # 4 Values of Free Expression

Promote Innovation in Your Business with These 6 Ideas

There are eight values of free expression which is an essential foundation in today's society. These include discovery of the truth, participating in self-government, stable change, self actualization, the ability to check on government power, promoting tolerance, promoting innovation and lastly the ability to protect dissent. All of these theories are included within the first amendment which allows members of the society to have their own opinions but still no violence is strongly persuaded. These are human values, dignity and growth with the protection of all individual rights. 

The theory that resonates with me the most is the value of promoting innovation, as it sheds a light on diversity. This value allows everyone a chance to feel confident in their creativity no matter what their background is. This is implemented in today's time in the media as culture interest continues to enhance with film, books, music, gaming and user generated content. Film has become more accessible with more sources to watch on different streamlines. Books are able to be read with the use of technology now and are marketed best on social media. Music which has helped society mainly be more creative for the lister and the performer. There is also a variety of steaming platforms which allows artists to make more and for listeners to have more of a preference. Gaming, which in the past few years has had a substantial amount of growth because of the virtual attributions included. As a business model, gamers of all cultures can connect and interact with each other. Lastly user generated content which is a global innovation in today’s time on social media as it shines a light on creation. It is very impactful for corporations and their consumers can partake in a unique way on a platform that is accessible and powerful. 

Doing group activities with other people is another way I've seen promoting innovation. While completing a group project, doing volunteer work and especially something to fully look forward to in the workforce. Browsing through LinkedIn I found an article written by Justin Massaba discussing being a leader while promoting innovation at your workplace. What I learned was that you have to encourage creativity, be a risk taker, promote different ideas and know collaboration is key. Which is of value because this helps as the world continues to change at a rapid pace. Leaders inspire and are a part of the development of welcoming new ideas that provide new opportunities, while most importantly fostering culture.   

Diversity in leadership | Culture Amp
To be successful in today's society you have to be a leader, even outside of your workplace. Being a Strategic Communications major I find this one to be very personable because I believe everyone has something that they can add while working with a team. Different people from all walks of life have something new and inspiring to add in today's time. Before entering the workforce after college, the additional research that I have done helped me understand how to promote innovation. It is important that we always have that as it will help with strong communication and an environment where creativity can flourish.

Blog Post #8: Gatekeeping

The gatekeeping theory arose in 1943, originated by a German American social psychologist named Kurt Lewin. He developed this concept and it focuses on personal perception and how one should operate to better understand the world that they are living in. To do that Lewin would have to understand the mental, physical and social aspects of a person's life. By conversing with people frequently to acknowledge their desires, memories and goals. This concept was first utilized in the field of social psychology and basic psychology and later became a method in the field of communications. Which now in today’s time is a very essential theory because of the variety of mass publication technology. Gatekeeping is an important concept that can be used in communication studies as a foundational theory.  There is good that comes from the gatekeeping theory, it's simply a method of mass communication from data decision makers who are at a high level. This can be people in the line of work as...

Blog #2: Protecting Our Privacy

Technology is something that I believe is safe to say, here to stay. Which is not a bad thing but when it comes to our privacy online everyone needs security. The true problem is that not everyone is aware of what is going on and it also seems that the people that know somewhat of the issue with privacy, hackers are getting more creative. It is great to be able to have a web source where you can search anything and there are all types of apps that can help you with something to make life easier. Another problem is the terms and conditions are not understandable and what we search on a web source and put our personal information into is not always private. Some of the issues discussed in the Ted Talk videos have affected me, and some have not. There are simply some apps that I don't trust because I feel my personal information is not going to be safe. The government should be putting stronger laws in place to protect our personal privacy. By joining us in protecting our data in how ...

Blog Post #6: Anti-War

    In today's time there are a lot of things going on and it’s good to see that throughout history there are a lot of people that strongly encourage pacifism and are proud to say that they are part of an anti-war movement. The media and news stations are not shy about making people aware of the different wars that are happening. Especially in the United States you can make one Google search and you can gain more insight on how currently there are civil wars in countries like Somalia, A fghanistan, Ethiopia, Russia and sadly many more. T hroughout all of that the goal still remains the same anti-war activists demand change and are pressuring the government to end a particular conflict with the hope of preventing a war.  Anti-war voices never appear on the mainstream news, I wonder why that is? Person ally I believe that is because more conflict is enforced rather than infiltrating tranquility in this world that desperately needs it. Thankfully we do have things like...
