Provide a 5 pages analysis while answering the following question: Communication Culture and Constructivism. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Geography is the main metaphor for the transmission view of communication. Communication is seen as dissemination and transmission of ideas, news, as well as Christian messages across space. Thus, its archetypal case is “the extension of messages across geography for the purpose of control” (18)

2. In a well-written paragraph that incorporates well-selected quotes from the reading (with page numbers), summarizes Carey’s account of the ritual view of communication and its historical roots. Be sure to identify what Carey calls its “archetypal case” (18).

For Carey, the ritual view of communication is old enough to be called “archaic”. The ritual view of communication employs that communication is related to sharing, participation, and fellowship. According to this view, “representation of shared beliefs” is more important than the dissemination of the messages (18). This view highlights the etymological roots of the communication term like “commonness”, “community” and “communion” (18). Hence, the maintenance of the community is of great importance rather than spreading the messages across space. Similar to the transmission view, this view also has religious roots. however, it represents a different aspect of religion. Its archetypical case is not spreading the Christian messages but the “sacred ceremony” that draws people together (18).

According to Carey, the ritual perspective on communication will focus on writing and reading newspaper as ritualistic acts. From this point of view, reading a newspaper means sharing a worldview, rather than learning new things. James W. Carey offers an account in which news is taken as cultural products, he asserts that “news is not information but drama” (21). It is not a coincidence that news is also called stories.&nbsp.
