LANGUAGE
Language seems like a simple concept: it is just the way humans communicate amongst eachother. But, language is also a form of expressing one's opinions, emotions, and dreams. Language can be explemflied not only through words, but gestures, signs, pictures and sounds. Language brings humans closer together and allows for the spread of knowledge around the world. This can be both an advantage and disadvantage in society. Positive language boosts morale and allows for the fostering of good ideas. On the other hand, language can be spoken in a negative way, thus leading to consequences such as arguments and even violence.
MASS COMMUNICATION
Mass communication is the language used to spread ideas, news, opinions, etc across a large population. Mass communication can be found on TV, on the radio, on the internet, and in periodicals such as magazines and newspapers. The purpose of this type of communication is to rapidly inform the masses about a particular subject. It is a quick -most of the time simple- way of reaching out to numerous people at one time. It is certainly an advantage to be able to mass communicate because it allows humans to be connected and be heard from wherever they are in the world. But, a great device always has its downfalls. For example, what if a well known person says soemthing offending on a televised speech. Now because of mass communication, almost everyone in the world has witnessed the blunder.
