This document discusses three models of how audiences interact with media texts:
1. The Effects Model (also called the Hypodermic Model) postulates that audiences passively receive media messages and are influenced by them without resistance.
2. The Uses and Gratifications Model positions audiences as active users of media texts to fulfill their own needs and gratifications, rather than being used by the media.
3. Reception Theory considers how media texts are encoded with intended meanings by producers and how audiences make sense of and interpret those meanings, which may include accepting, rejecting, or negotiating the intended message.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. The Effects Model This effect is
usually
considered as
NEGATIVE
The consumption
of
media texts has
an effect .or

the audience
.Audiences are
passive and
powerless to

The power lies with the message of
4. The Effects Model Is Also Called The
Hypodermic Model
The media works like a drug and the audience is
drugged, addicted, doped or duped.

6. The Uses and Gratifications Model
.The
audience uses
the text and
isn’t used by it
The opposite of
the Effects Model The audience is
active
The audience uses the text for its own
gratification or pleasure

8. Reception Theory
The audience will
then
...correctly decode
the message or
meaning and
…understand what
the producer was
trying to say
This considers
how
texts were
encoded
with meaning
by producers
and then
understood.by
audiences
When a
producer
constructs a text
it’s encoded with
a meaning or
message that the
producer wants to
convey to the
audienceHowever, in some instances the
audience will wither reject or fail to
10. For example, a shocking scene in our thriller could be when the
woman is shot. This would shock the audience and create
questions that they want answering.
The fact that the woman knows that she is going to die will
consequent in more questions from the audience as there is no
explanation at the beginning as to why this is happening.
The Effects/Hypodermic
Model in our thriller:
11. The audience will use our thriller for entertainment, however
different types of audiences might not view the content in the
same way.
For example, a younger audience might not like thrillers and
therefore not enjoy the thriller as a source of entertainment.
The Uses and
Gratifications Model in
our thriller:
13. In our thriller the audience could be DOMINANT and feel
tense and curious about the opening of our thriller, which
are the emotions we want the audience to feel.
But, the audience could be OPPOSITIONAL and not agree
with the fact that the woman in the thriller is aware that
she is about to die and accepts that she is going to die.
Due to the special effects we have available we may not
be able to make the gun look realistic, therefore the
audience will accept that the thriller is trying to build
suspense and create questions, but they won’t believe it
due to the bad effects and possibly not realistic acting-
NEGOTIATED
