Modern Time, Communication, and Globalization: Key Concepts
The Modern Concept of Time
The modern concept of time is that now is not conceived as a repetition but as a unique moment.
Different Strokes of Time
- Perceptual Time: Resulting from the activity of consciousness. Each of us orders our own time according to internal or external circumstances.
- Vital Time: Individual; the relationship is given by biological memory or instinct.
- Social Time: Corresponds to the historical perspectivism of Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset when he says, “I and my circumstance.” This means that to me, you add the special moment of society they will live with their beliefs, ideas, and opinions. This is considered a different point of view, giving each a different facet.
Our Time
The time that we take to do what we like.
Communication
To make known or convey to someone what you feel, know, or want using a common code by the sender and the receiver. We communicate to influence and affect intentionally, which involves the emission of a message by someone and, in turn, receiving the message from others.
Human Communication
The sender and receiver are interdependent; they are dependent on this situation, which presents three ways:
- Interpersonal: Between two individuals.
- Intragroup: Among members of a group.
- Intergroup: If it is established between members of different groups.
Communication Involves:
- Physical Interdependence: Each needs the other for its definition and existence.
- A science of action and reaction, in which each influences the response thereafter.
- Foresight: The way in which it can respond to our partner.
- A subject’s emotional involvement in another’s reality.
Interpersonal Communication
It is made from one person to another, face-to-face in the same social group, but not only with the spoken word but with the intervention of an actual set of elements that complete the meaning of what is expressed. This can be:
- Paralinguistic: Different intonations of the voice and emphasis given to certain words that tend to rule.
- Extralinguistic: Face and body movements as we speak.
Globalization
- Etymologically: Some authors consider the term “mundalizacion” more correct in Spanish, derived from the French word instead of “globalizacion” (globalization), an anglicism from the English. “Globalization” in Spanish does not mean “global world.” However, the dictionary of the Spanish Royal Academy records the entry of “globalization” and the tendency of markets and businesses to increase, reaching a global dimension that transcends national boundaries.
- Globalization: The removal of individuals from their sense of national belonging to incorporate them into an economic, technical, and spiritual universe. The Internet is an example of the immediate acceptance of globalization, which generates unemployment due to retailers and the professional middle class not updating their knowledge as required by labor demand. In our world history, fewer workers are needed to produce goods and services; more machines replace men, with advantages and disadvantages.
- Important: Specialists agree that, to counter those feelings, the fate of the global economy in nations will be to educate their populations.
Cinematography
Social media, based on the representation of moving images by projecting moving images on a screen.
- Since its early films, it has won large numbers of viewers for its language (images, sounds, words) that link it to the novel art forms and narrative syntax assembly technique.
- It is characterized by:
- Using a moving image and sound.
- Using a visual image of polysemic value.
- Being attractive, suggestive, and having rapid penetration into consciousness.
