Journalism And The Power Of Emotions By Bech Sillesen

• empathy is created as we grow fond of the protagonist who shares a story of hardship

In the “Empathy Gap” by Sherry Turkle the author claims that because human beings are obsessed with being digitally connected that the empathy gap has opened making people less empathetic towards each other. Turkle reports that humans do not appreciate the value of talk which is being undermined because many people fear a real conversation which does not allow them to control the situation including giving someone their undivided attention which allows a people to become vulnerable. Turkle does not disagree that our decreased capacity for empathy can be scary she argues impressively that by showing weakness and vulnerability will help us become more empathetic. The author supports the idea that our communication is at risk because people want

We seem to be living in the “generation me”, where the upcoming generation is showing less and less traits of empathy. Often times, empathy and sympathy may get confused, but sympathy is the feeling of caring about feeling sorry for someone’s trouble while on the other hand,empathy is being able to relate to another person issues or problems. Online social media networks may be to blame for the lack of empathy. Through online, we are able to ignore others and their emotional feelings. However the behavior of lack of empathy can also be played out in face-to-face situations.

Brandon Stanton the author of Humans of New York successfully used pathos and ethos to explain his subject’s stories through the multimodal genre in todays social media world. Using pop culture, Humans of New York became a household name for expressing some difficult material happening in todays society. HONY became popular because the use of online sources to spark a conversation about issues in the world, has increased as well as the use of ethos and pathos in a post. Nearly eight to ten Americans are on Facebook (Greenwood), the possibly of people seeing these social issues online is increasing tremendously. The use for technology is rise as well as the human connection through the internet. Being able to connect to across the other side

In the article,” WIRELESS SENSORS CAN DETECT PEOPLE'S EMOTIONS” by Mary Beth Griggs, discusses how EQ Radio transfers a wireless signal that bounces off your body and back to the device. This measures things like your breathing, heart rate and pulse. As noted in the article, it states,” “Our work shows that wireless signals can capture information about human behavior that is not always visible to the naked eye,” Dina Katabi, the leader of the project said. “We believe that our results could pave the way for future technologies that could help monitor and diagnose conditions like depression and anxiety.” Nevertheless, these wireless signals may potentially help with other conditions in the near future.

Storytelling influences the information we receive, process and retain in numerous ways. Walter Fisher (1983) believes that “humans are essentially storytellers” and that narratives allow us to understand the actions of others due to our own lives

On the other hand, it triggers the mind to create new ideas, which may lead to formation of abstract or perceptible products. Of course these aims are satisfied merely by the fundamental support of fiction, the imagination. These points may be valid since empathy can solely be carried out by “imagining” the other, secondly in a world which is only consisted of truths and factual thoughts, distraction and amusement would be so hard to reach and thirdly, producing new concepts is impossible without imagining new ideas. Yet, she can not engage her oppositions about the norms and biases of the society with her arguments which lack further

      The period in American Literature known as the American Renaissance was a time of great change in our country. It was an age of westward expansion and social conflict. Americans were divided on such volatile issues as slavery, reform and sectionalism that ultimately led to the Civil War. Emerging from this cauldron of change came the voice of a new nation - a nation with views and ideals all its own. The social, economic, technological and demographic revolution that was taking place at this time set the stage for a new era of writers. The voice of the nation found a home, first, on the pages of the newspaper. It was there that the hopes, fears and political views of Americans were

True empathy comes when the portrayal of another is the mirror image of oneself. In other words, to become truly empathetic, is to have the ability to connect with the lived experiences and feelings of another. In Stephan Crane’s, “The Open Boat” we move past the general meaning of empathy, feeling with, and to the idea that it needs to be embodied in oneself in order to evolve as a human and achieve an empathetic state. We see this in the character, the correspondent, who undergoes a traumatic event that shapes the path for an epiphany of empathy which then resides inside him as a “human, living thing” (Crane, 1898, 85).

In recent times psychologists have taken studying the connection between empathy and literature It is of some note that “people who read well written fiction may come to understand and sympathise with other people more.” (Knapp, Schwanenflugel, 2015) This is what the mat is for, to collect those subtle feelings sculpted and moulded by the author to be feed to readers, to let us soak at the end of a novel, or story and consider what we’ve read, the journey so far. There is something delicious about reaching the end of Joe Landsdale novel and longing for more, or reading a TS Elliot poem such as The Hippopotamus, or The Whisper of Immortality and mulling over the words, decoding the meaning. That moment of fulfilment and the exhilaration that makes one cry out, “that’s it! I want to make people feel like

As the years go by, storytelling has evolved as the society adapts to the new technologies. Platforms like Facebook and Twitter transformed the way stories are told (and even the length) but before that; when the screen started to move the Filmmaking industry was one the first in taking the images made by books. We “mankind” the natural born storytellers who comes from a history of traditional and cultural strategies to make people shivers under the power of word, shifted. At a point we started to understand the stories as images and as the pop culture kept growing; literature and authors started to absorb the way or technics of films, leaving a thin line that keeps them apart. This research wants to help to understand the behavior of the literature

Journalism is gathering, processing, and dissemination of news, and information related to news, to an audience. The word applies to the method of inquiring for news, the literary style which is used to disseminate it, and the activity (professional or not) of journalism.

In a contemporary society, the role of journalism is a varied one that covers many different aspects of people’s lives. As more and more outlets spring up around the world, many more stories are able to be covered by different outlets, and this means that journalism takes on a more and more important role in a contemporary society. Much of our lives centre on political and social happenings, and journalistic outlets are the public’s way of finding all the information on these event. Journalism also provides us with a way of finding out which of these stories are important and deserve our attention, and which stories can be ignored. The important role of journalism can be well observed in the recent coverage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) in both New Zealand and around the world. This is a ground breaking economic deal, and holds a great deal of importance for the 800 million citizens of the countries involved, as well as the rest of the world. With worldwide coverage of this deal, it is inevitable that different types of reporting occurs, and that different outlets will provide different accounts. With so many different journalism outlets around the world and locally, many have to have a way of standing out from the crowd. This means that some extremely different coverage of very similar stories can occur. However it can also simply be down to different ownership, differing political views, and different socio-economic environments. Two outlets with

Printed media is extremely important in not only in the US but in Italy and all over the world in today’s culture. The United States of America has twenty-five newspapers and Italy itself has seven different newspapers. The main number of newspapers are locally and/or regionally based. This shows Italy’s strong history. The most well-known national dailies are all Milan based. Corriere della Sera and Rome’s La Repubblica, followed by Turin’s La Stampa and Italy’s business news, Ii Sole 24 Ore. There are a number of weekly papers with a wide circulation and the most influential news magazines, Panorama and L’Espresso. Italy’s sports newspapers and the Catholic weekly, Famiglia Christina also have a very extensive popularity and readership. A statistic shows 80% of Italians actually are said to watch more television for their news verses reading the newspapers for the news. The highest percentage in Europe. Where the United States of America has twenty-five newspapers and Americans watch television for their news more often than reading the newspapers as well. Since 2013 American’s reading the news had dropped from 57% to 20% in 2016. The printed press in Italy has been almost completely independent but few are fearing that the cross media ownership laws could work to have less employees than they currently have. The Italian print newspaper market can be put into four segment. Paid for
