This document discusses several models of communication that were developed over time. It describes Aristotle's rhetoric model from 2000 years ago that focused on the speaker, speech, audience, effect, and occasion. It also explains Laswell's 1948 model that examined who says what through which channel to whom with what effect. Additionally, it outlines Berlo's 1960 SMCR model involving the sender, message, channel, and receiver as well as Shannon and Weaver's 1948 engineering model involving source, transmitter, channel, receiver, and destination. The document contrasts the semiotics and process schools of thought and provides examples to illustrate some of the models.
Core values define how products are used in societies and influence acceptable market relationships and behaviors. Culture includes learned beliefs, values, customs, and responses that direct consumer behavior. Cultural characteristics are learned and shared within groups. Marketers must understand how culture affects consumer pre-purchase activities like information search and post-purchase activities like product use. Culture also influences social classes that are hierarchical groups distinguished by factors like occupation, income, education, and prestige. Understanding differences in subcultures and cross-cultural groups is important for marketers to effectively target various national markets.

Framework of ethical decision making processFariha Ijaz
This document outlines a framework for ethical decision making in business. It discusses factors that influence ethical decisions, including individual factors like gender and education, organizational factors like corporate culture and opportunity, and moral development stages. It also examines the ethical decision making process, including recognizing ethical issues, evaluating alternatives based on stakeholders, and potentially feeling guilt if intentions and actions are inconsistent with ethical judgments. The framework is intended to provide insights into typical ethical processes in organizations and help improve ethical decision making through discussion with others.
The document discusses cross-cultural conflict management. It outlines an agenda that includes introductions, conflict management styles, cross-cultural communication differences, key conflict management skills, and ways to improve cross-cultural conflict management. It describes different conflict management styles including competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating. It also discusses cultural differences in communication preferences, emotional expression, timing, and channels. Additionally, it outlines three key conflict management skills: dealing with anger through confrontation, defusing, or disengaging; understanding interests and needs rather than positions; and reframing conflicts positively. Finally, it recommends four strategies to improve cross-cultural conflict management: observing local conflict styles, asking cultural experts
Opinion leadership is the process by which informal opinion leaders influence the product attitudes and consumption behaviors of others. Opinion leaders may seek to reduce their own doubts about purchases, gain social benefits, or due to strong involvement with products. Opinion seekers aim to get new information, reduce risks, save time, and gain approval. Opinion leadership is effective because opinion leaders are seen as credible sources of positive and negative product information and advice within their category of expertise. A person can be both an opinion receiver and later an opinion leader on a topic after gaining direct experience with a product.

Concepts and elements of channel information systemHirak Sinha
Channel information systems collect, store, and interpret data to provide valuable information to organizations. They comprise databases and hardware/networks for gathering, processing, and transmitting information. The systems vary depending on the application, such as business-to-business, retail, business-to-consumer, and interactive consumer applications. Channel information systems provide timely information for decision-making regarding operational planning, forecasting, resource allocation, and performance evaluation. The major components are the technological infrastructure and the database containing the information.
Source, message, and channel factors all influence how consumers process promotional messages. Source credibility, attractiveness, and power affect persuasiveness. Message structure, including order, conclusion drawing, and sidedness, must be considered. Message appeals like fear, humor, and comparisons are options. Channels differ in personal versus mass reach, information processing requirements, and environmental effects. Media clutter is also a consideration.
This document discusses several advertising theories including the hierarchy of effects model, means-end theory, and visual and verbal imagery. The hierarchy of effects model outlines six steps consumers go through to purchase a product from awareness to purchase. Means-end theory examines how advertisements link product attributes to personal values through a means-end chain. Visual and verbal imagery analyzes the emphasis on visual versus verbal elements in ads and how visuals lead to more favorable attitudes. Examples are provided for each theory to illustrate how advertisers apply these concepts.
This chapter discusses how culture influences management style, business systems, and international marketing. It notes that Americans tend to be individualistic while Japanese culture emphasizes consensus and commitment to the group. Successful international business requires adapting to different cultural norms for areas like communication, negotiations, ethics, and strategic thinking. The key is to understand your own culture as well as the cultural environment of the country you are operating within.

- Establishing clear communication objectives like creating awareness or stimulating action.
- Choosing appropriate media and message strategies based on the target audience's media consumption habits.
- Factors that influence a message's persuasiveness, like the source's credibility, presenting both sides of an issue, and explicitly stating conclusions.
- Aspects of language use that can impact persuasiveness, such as avoiding jargon, biased terms, and deceitful language.
This document provides an overview of marketing concepts. It begins by defining marketing as managing profitable customer relationships by delivering superior value. It then discusses the four main philosophies that guide marketing approaches: the production concept, product concept, selling concept, and marketing concept. The marketing concept sees customer focus and value as the path to profits. The document also introduces concepts such as the marketing mix, competition, demand states, and the universal marketing functions. It concludes by updating the traditional "four Ps" framework to better reflect holistic marketing approaches.
This document discusses consumer behavior and its importance for marketing. It defines consumer behavior as how individuals select, purchase, use, and dispose of goods and services. Understanding consumer behavior helps companies improve their marketing strategies by learning how consumers think and make decisions. The relationship between marketing and consumer behavior is that marketers must understand consumer markets in order to develop effective marketing strategies. Studying consumer behavior allows companies to segment markets, position products, conduct marketing research, and implement social marketing campaigns more successfully.

Course: MK617 Consumer Behavior
Assignment: Self-Concept in Consumer Behavior
Description: “Every product you purchase reflects who you really are”
A critical review of Joseph Sirgy article about Self-Concept in Consumer Behavior.
For this assignment, students were presented some definitions and theories about Self-Concept in Consumer Behavior. This included the definition of the Image product, the process of identification, congruity and incongruity, but also some self-concept measurements practices.
The Elaboration Likelihood Model describes two routes to changing attitudes: central and peripheral. The central route involves carefully considering the message's arguments and is more likely to result in lasting attitude change. The peripheral route involves less critical message analysis and can be influenced by superficial factors like likability or rewards. While initially popular, the ELM has been criticized for being less predictive and not accounting for how most messages are processed peripherally through cues and emotions.
This document discusses modes of persuasion and Cialdini's persuasion model. It explains the three modes of persuasion - ethos, pathos, and logos. It then analyzes how an advertisement uses each mode, appealing to credibility with celebrities, emotions with humor, and logic with safety rules. The document also outlines Cialdini's six principles of persuasion - liking, reciprocity, consensus, consistency, authority, and scarcity - and provides examples of how to apply each principle.
This document outlines key concepts in communication and consumer behavior including:
- The basic communication model involves a message initiator, sender, receiver, medium, message, target audience, and feedback.
- Source credibility is important, and comes from informal sources like word of mouth, formal sources like companies, and spokespeople/endorsers.
- When designing persuasive communications, marketers must consider objectives, target audiences through segmentation, and message strategies involving framing, comparisons, and order effects.
- Different media like magazines and television each have strengths and limitations for delivering marketing messages. Emotional appeals and humor can also impact message effectiveness depending on the audience and product.
Ethics and morality attributes in public sector and more particularly, for the armed forces are prime requisites. The exercise of command and leadership need to be carried out in a fair and ethical manner. This presentation discusses the complexities and a suggestive proactive approach in this regard.
The document discusses the value chain concept, including its history, definitions, benefits, advantages, and disadvantages. A value chain is a model that views a business as a series of activities that collectively create and deliver a product or service. It analyzes the activities a company engages in to create value for its customers. Managing the value chain effectively can help companies create competitive advantages through cost leadership or differentiation. However, some find the concept difficult to apply in practice due to the complexity of modern business operations and lack of structured data.
The document discusses consumer motivation and the motivational process. It defines motivation as the driving force that impels individuals to action. The motivational process involves needs, both innate and acquired, that give rise to motives. These motives then lead to the selection of goals, both positive and negative. Needs are never fully satisfied and new needs emerge as old needs are met. Motivation is influenced by success, failure, and defense mechanisms. Motives can be aroused physiologically, emotionally, and cognitively. The document also discusses measuring motivation through qualitative research methods.

This document discusses how values and attitudes relate to job satisfaction. It defines values as important ideas that guide actions and are learned through modeling, communication, religion, and implied attitudes. Common individual values include achievement, fairness, and honesty. Organizational values can conflict or align with individual values, affecting feelings. Attitudes are made up of cognitive beliefs, affective feelings, and behavioral intentions that determine satisfaction. Values form the basis for attitudes, which then influence satisfaction levels in the workplace.

Chapter 2: Leadership and Followership Communication Styles
Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of how individuals and groups act within organizations and how organizations manage their environments. OB focuses on improving productivity by understanding employee behavior and predicting human behavior in organizations. Behavior is generally predictable but depends on circumstances. To study OB effectively requires a systematic, evidence-based approach rather than just common sense. OB draws from various disciplines like psychology, sociology, and political science to analyze behavior at the individual, group, and organizational levels.
The document discusses the legal and ethical challenges of diversity in academia. While diversity provides educational benefits, implementing diversity policies is problematic. Minority students and faculty face barriers like isolation and lack of access. Affirmative action aims to address racial stratification, but its application and the concept of diversity have weakened the relationship between social justice and prejudice. Future policies should better define diversity and equality based on an understanding of different cultures and perspectives.
Kenneth burke and theory of identificationThamiel Nguyen
This document provides an overview of Kenneth Burke's theory of identification. It defines identification as the state where two entities share common properties, allowing the speaker to persuade the audience by establishing consubstantiality. It describes the three states, four sources, and linguistic strategies of identification. The theory argues that persuasion is only possible when the speaker and audience identify with each other through shared interests, ideas, or experiences. While useful for analyzing rhetoric and communication, the theory may have limitations in some modern media where face-to-face interaction is not possible.
This document summarizes chapters 11 and 12 from the book "Political Economy: A Comparative Approach, 2nd Edition" by Barry Clark.

Broadcast Ownership: The ongoing struggle for equal access by women and minor...Dr. Aitza Haddad Nuñez
This study takes a critical empirical approach to examine an ongoing struggle by women and racial minorities to own broadcast radio and television companies in United States. The study focuses on a recent ownership report published by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in spring 2014 to illustrate the status of the women and minorities’ ownership as a way of advancing the argument that policy reform is long overdue. In short, the present analysis of the Spring 2014 FCC Ownership Report aims to provide a clearer and broader picture of who owns the media, and according to communication theories and discourse analysis, the creation of language and knowledge. The goal is to become a starting point of an in-depth exploration of why is the current media not serving the unique set of needs, claims, and values of all groups in a society.

This document discusses a research paper on the role of international news in Puerto Rico's political discourse. The paper examines how issues related to Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans are covered, or not covered, by major US and international news media. It hypothesizes that news about Puerto Rico is scarce and limited in scope, especially regarding the territory's real political, economic, and social dynamics. The invisibility of Puerto Rico in international news has negative consequences for Puerto Rican national identity and US domestic and foreign policies.

It closes with a Einstein quote about solving problems with new thinking.
This document discusses values, attitudes, and job satisfaction. It defines values as basic convictions about what is good and defines attitudes as feelings toward objects, people, or events. Values provide understanding of behaviors and influence perceptions. The document also presents Hofstede's framework for assessing cultures based on power distance, individualism, uncertainty avoidance, and other dimensions. It discusses theories of cognitive dissonance and self-perception in forming attitudes. Job satisfaction is defined as feelings toward one's job, and the document notes satisfied employees are less likely to quit or be absent and more likely to engage in organizational citizenship behaviors. Satisfied employees also increase customer satisfaction.
This document provides an overview of key media concepts related to audience, institutions, representation, language, codes and conventions, and narrative theory. It defines audience as the recipients of a media text and discusses several theories of how audiences interact with media, such as the hypodermic needle theory. It also defines institutions as organizations that produce and distribute media, and representation as the ideas and identities constructed in media texts. The document then examines media language and various codes and conventions used in different genres. Finally, it summarizes several narrative theories including those proposed by Propp, Todorov, and others.
Exam lessons 3 (representation) - Section A A2 Media ExamBelinda Raji
The document provides guidance on analyzing representations in media productions using the concept of representation and related theories. It discusses how representations construct versions of reality and ideology. It encourages focusing an analysis of a soap opera trailer on how gender, social groups and places are represented through media language tools and what ideological messages are communicated. Key theories discussed include those relating to cultural hegemony, stereotypes, feminism and the male gaze. The document suggests deconstructing the various production stages and choosing elements to focus on how representations were constructed and their intended effects.
The document discusses several theories about how audiences interact with and make meaning from media texts:
- The uses and gratifications model sees audiences as active in choosing media to fulfill personal needs like relationships, identity, and information.
- Reception theory argues audiences actively interpret media based on their own experiences and backgrounds, adopting dominant, oppositional, or negotiated readings.
- More recent theories recognize interactive audiences who both consume and produce media as prosumers through social media platforms.
This document discusses theories of framing and frame analysis, noting their roots in symbolic interactionism and social constructionism. It examines early research on framing that concluded news serves to perpetuate the status quo and undermine social movements. The development of framing theory is then reviewed, contrasting postpositivist approaches focused on predicting media effects versus critical cultural approaches examining how elites and journalists control framing to shape understanding.
The document discusses Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory and how it can be applied to understanding consumer and brand motivations on social media platforms. It also provides an overview of Maslow's pyramid model, which places the most fundamental needs like breathing at the bottom and higher-level needs like self-actualization at the top. Additionally, it summarizes theories around passive and active audiences, including the hypodermic needle model and cultivation theory.
The document discusses several dominant approaches in the social sciences including:
1) Microlevel approaches like rational choice theory and symbolic interactionism that focus on individual behavior.
2) Macrolevel approaches like structural functionalism and institutionalism that examine larger social systems and structures.
3) Interdisciplinary approaches such as the human-environment system that integrate ideas across fields.
It then provides more details on specific theories under the microlevel and macrolevel categories.
Audience theory examines how audiences interact with and make sense of media. It recognizes that audiences are not passive receivers of media messages but actively interpret and make meaning from media texts based on their own experiences and perspectives. Early theories like the hypodermic needle model viewed audiences as easily manipulated, but uses and gratification theory sees audiences as active in selecting media to meet their own needs. The two-step flow theory proposes that media influence happens through opinion leaders. Reception theory looks at how audiences can decode meanings in media differently than intended by producers.
This document discusses several dominant approaches and ideas in the social sciences. It outlines microlevel approaches like rational choice theory and symbolic interactionism, which focus on individual behavior and decision-making. It also discusses macrolevel approaches like structural functionalism and institutionalism, which examine larger social systems and structures. Structural functionalism views society as a complex system whose parts work together to promote stability. Institutionalism studies how formal and informal institutions influence social behavior by constraining and empowering individuals. The document provides overviews of the key concepts and premises of these different theoretical perspectives in social science.
The document discusses the evolution of communication theory from the post-World War II era to present day. It covers early theories on source credibility and opinion change developed by Yale researchers in the 1950s. The document also examines objective and interpretive approaches to theory and provides examples of how context and culture influence communication.
6.4 - Relationship between Producers and Audience.pptxJamesDixon10403
This document discusses the relationship between media producers and audiences. It begins by discussing how we should think about what people do with media rather than what media do to people. It then discusses two main concerns regarding how audiences engage with media texts: whether texts have a single meaning or multiple meanings, and what factors need to be considered in understanding a text's meanings. The document goes on to explain four communication theories - the hypodermic needle theory, reinforcement theory, uses and gratification theory, and two-step flow theory. It provides a brief overview of each theory, including their perspectives on audiences and influence.
Chapter 4 - Social and Cultural EnvironmentAntony Sentoso
This document discusses key aspects of social and cultural environments. It defines culture as ways of living passed down through generations. Culture is expressed through social institutions and includes both conscious and unconscious values, ideas, attitudes and symbols. Religions are an important source of a society's beliefs. Languages also reflect cultural diversity. High and low context cultures communicate differently. Hofstede identified cultural dimensions like power distance and uncertainty avoidance. Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory explains how new ideas spread through cultures over time via communication channels. The innovation adoption process moves from awareness to adoption through interested evaluation and trial. Factors affecting adoption rates include relative advantage, compatibility and complexity. Innovators adopt earliest while laggards adopt latest.

Collective behavior refers to forms of social behavior in which people collectively bypass or subvert established institutional patterns. It was once thought to be highly emotional and irrational, but research shows it is more cautious and less emotional. There are various types of collective behavior including crowds, audiences, masses, fashions/fads/crazes, disasters, publics, social movements, and mass communication through media like newspapers, radio, television, and film. While some seek to resist change, collective behavior generally leads to social changes through the establishment of new social norms and values.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in sociology and anthropology. It discusses the founders and early theorists of sociology such as Auguste Comte, Herbert Spencer, Karl Marx, and Max Weber. It also outlines major theoretical paradigms in sociology like evolutionary theory, social conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. Additionally, it defines key anthropological concepts like culture, norms, and ethnocentrism. It examines methods of sociological inquiry including experiments, surveys, case studies, and field observations. Finally, it discusses demographic concepts such as fertility, mortality, migration, and theories of population growth and decline.
The document discusses theories of media audiences from passive to active models. It begins by covering Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs model. It then discusses early passive audience theories like the Hypodermic Needle Theory which viewed audiences as powerless. Later sections explore more active models including Cultivation Theory, Two Step Flow Theory, Uses and Gratification Theory, and Reception Analysis which see audiences as interacting with media based on their own contexts. The document concludes by discussing interactive audiences and prosumers in new media environments.
Media effects revision - mass media section A2millieprice1
This document summarizes four models of media effects:
1) Uses and Gratification Model - Views audiences as active in choosing media to fulfill needs and shape identities. It recognizes audience power but ignores social factors.
2) Cultural Effects Model - Views media as tool of dominant groups to gradually influence audiences based on factors like class, gender, ethnicity.
3) Hypodermic Syringe Theory - Views audiences as passive, with media having immediate effects on behavior. It does not recognize outside influences.
4) Two Step Flow Model - Views influence as from media to opinion leaders to audiences, recognizing audiences are not entirely passive but still assumes media ultimately shapes opinions. It does not fully recognize independent audience views.
The theory of opinion leadership was first developed in the 1940s and proposes that information flows through society in two steps - from media to opinion leaders, and then from opinion leaders to their followers. Opinion leaders are individuals seen as knowledgeable and trustworthy within their social group. The rise of new media has democratized influence and allowed many more people to become opinion leaders by building authentic connections with followers online. Reporters in Gaza function as important opinion leaders, influencing views through their moving portrayals of life in the region amid conflict.
The document summarizes several communication theories:
- The Hypodermic Needle Theory suggests media has direct influence over passive audiences. It is no longer accepted but still influences views.
- The Agenda Setting Theory claims media can set what issues are discussed and how. Audiences often interpret messages as intended.
- Reinforcement Theory argues media reinforces existing views and other social factors are more influential, except for introducing new ideas.
- Two Step Flow Theory says opinion leaders influence public views after initial media exposure and interpretation.
- Uses and Gratifications Theory proposes audiences actively use media to fulfill needs and have power over media content and influence.

The document summarizes key court cases and laws related to diversity and fairness in the United States:
Brown v. Board of Education (1954) ruled that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. Bolling v. Sharpe (1954) extended this ruling to Washington D.C. schools via the Fifth Amendment. Plyer v. Doe (1982) struck down a Texas law denying schooling to undocumented immigrant children.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited employment discrimination on characteristics like race and gender. The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 replaced discriminatory national quotas with a preference system based on skills and family ties. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibited discrimination against people with disabilities across various domains

This document summarizes the main traps and tricks to avoid in critical ethnography, as well as why one should take a critical approach. It outlines 8 common traps that can undermine a study, such as only seeing what fits one's biases or making claims not supported by evidence. To avoid these, the author recommends letting the data guide conclusions rather than imposing preconceptions. A critical approach is valuable for intellectual growth, ethical responsibility, and emancipating people from unnecessary domination. Overall, critical ethnography provides a way to understand other cultures and view one's own with a more open perspective.

The document provides information on human subjects research regulations and policies at Howard University. It discusses key events that shaped modern research ethics regulations, such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and the resulting National Research Act of 1974. The Act established Institutional Review Boards and the Belmont Report. The document then outlines Howard University's human subjects protection program, including the responsibilities of the Office of Regulatory Research Compliance and the Institutional Review Boards. It provides guidance on the different levels of IRB review and types of research studies.
In March 2, 1917, the Jones Act was approved granting U.S. citizenship to people born in P.R. and providing the residents of P.R. with a “Charter of Rights.” That Bill of Rights included inter alia the “due process” of law when a citizen's life, liberty or property are violated; the right to “Habeas Corpus”; prohibition of ex post facto laws; the just compensation for expropriated property; the right to bail; the right to be innocent until proven guilty; the right to freedom of speech and press; and numerous other provisions under the Constitution of the United Together. In 1948, the U.S. Supreme Court expressed in Foley Brothers Inc. v. Filardo, 336 U.S. 281, that it was a well-established principle of law that all federal legislation applies only within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States unless a contrary intent appears. It was later established that P.R. was to be subject to the Congress’ plenary powers under the “territorial clause” of Article IV, sec. 3, of the U.S. Constitution and that due to the establishment of the Federal Relations Act of 1950 all federal laws that are “not locally inapplicable” were to be automatically the law of the land in P.R.
In 1951, the U.S. Congress approved Public Law 600, authorizing P.R. to draft its own constitution. In July 25, 1952, the Puerto Rican Constitution was approved by a popular referendum and ratified by the U.S. Congress, with a “few amendments.” U.S. maintained an ultimate sovereignty over P.R. while at the same time it gave Puerto Ricans certain degree of autonomy over the island. Under the Territorial Clause, the autonomy recognized to the island has being interpreted by the U.S. Congress as recognition of the sovereignty over the island. In 1976 the U.S. Supreme Court indicated that the purpose of Congress in the legislations of 1950 and 1952 was to accord to P.R. the degree of autonomy and independence normally associated with a State of the Union. In that same year the Puerto Rican Supreme Court, posed with the question of what should be the relationship between the 4th Amendment of the Federal Constitution, and section 10 of article II of the Puerto Rican Constitution, concluded that P.R. remains subject to the will of Congress as to what rights are applicable and which not and that 4th Amendment describes the minimum level of security to be recognize by states, borders that can be expanded but not reduced. In short, because more than 150 years of constitutional development and civil rights struggles around the world as well as the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” and the “American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man,” both from 1948, were taken into account, P.R. was be able to draft a Bill of Rights more extensive and progressive than the one written by the drafters of the U.S. Constitution in the 18th century. In response to that struggle the P.R. Constitution recognizes the constitutional rights of the U.S. Constitutio
The document discusses methods for analyzing material culture, documents, and quantitative data in historical research. It makes the following key points:
1) Historians must immerse themselves in primary and secondary sources to gain thorough context before formulating research questions. Questions should be open-ended and testable.
2) Researchers must authenticate sources by establishing their origins and credibility. Primary sources like records and relics require examining motivations and contexts.
3) Both traditional documentary analysis of sources and quantitative content analysis are useful, with the latter adding rigor. Historians interpret sources in their original contexts to draw defensible inferences.
Puerto Rico has a long history as both a Spanish colony and unincorporated U.S. territory. It was inhabited by Taíno people prior to Spanish colonization in the 15th century. Puerto Rico was ceded to the U.S. after the Spanish-American War in 1898 and began a period of military rule. Puerto Ricans were granted U.S. citizenship in 1917 but agitated for further autonomy and independence. A movement toward self-government increased after World War II, culminating in Puerto Rico's adoption of a local constitution in 1952 within the framework of U.S. sovereignty.

The document discusses several key Supreme Court cases related to marriage from 1967 to 2003. Loving v. Virginia (1967) struck down laws banning interracial marriage. Baker v. Nelson (1971) was one of the first cases to address same-sex marriage, with the Minnesota Supreme Court ruling that marriage was restricted to opposite-sex couples. The era saw a shift from addressing miscegenation to addressing privacy in marriage and relationships, laying the groundwork for future same-sex marriage cases.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

The dynamics of persuasion: communication and attitudes in the twenty-first century: Part one: Foundations
1. PART ONE:
FOUNDATIONS OF
PERSUASION
Chapter 1: Introduction to Persuasion
Chapter 2: Historical and Ethical Foundations
Perloff, R. M. (2010). The dynamics of persuasion: communication
and attitudes in the twenty-first century. Routledge.
Pages 1 -65
7. What is Persuasion?
■ Is a ubiquitous part of contemporary life
– However, it is also an ancient art
■ It is defined as a symbolic process
– Communicators try to convince people to change their own
attitudes or behaviors regarding an issue
– Through the transmission of a message
– In an atmosphere of free choice
■ Communicators DO NOT change people’s minds
– People decide to alter their own attitudes or to resist persuasion
8. What is Self-Persuasion?
■ Self-persuasion says that we are free to change our lives in any way
that we wish, within the limits of both our cognitive skills and
society.
■ The tools of self-persuasion can be harnessed by:
– Beneficent communicators
– Malevolent communicators
12. Persuasion ≠ Coercion
■ Persuasion occurs:
– In an atmosphere of fee choice where the individual is
autonomous, capable of saying no, and able to change his/her
mind about the issue
■ Coercion occurs when:
– the influence agent delivers a believable threat of some
consequence
– Deprives the individual of some measure of freedom of
autonomy,
– Attempt to induce the individual to act contrary to his/her
preferences
13. Persuasion & Coercion
■ Persuasion and coercion can overlap in situations involving
authority, religious cults, and prisoner torture
– Even in coercive situations, people “choose” to accept or reject
the communicator’s directive;
■ But their choices and freedoms are seriously compromised
physiologically and philosophically
– They cannot be held ethically accountable for their behavior
14.
15. Power & Influence
■ Defined as the ability to influence others
– Influencing others does not automatically qualify as leadership
■ Any successful influence attempt is based on credibility
– Built on perceptions of our competence trustworthiness, and dynamism
■ A number of language features have been identifies as “powerful” or
“powerless” by researchers
– Powerful talk makes speakers seen knowledgeable and confident
– Powerless talk is tentative and submissive
16. Sources of Power
■ Power must be used in pursuit of group goals to merit leadership
classification
– Coercive Power – ability to administer punishment
– Reward Power – ability to deliver something of value
– Legitimate Power – resides on the position rather than the person;
right to prescribe our behavior within specified parameters
– Expert Power – based on the person not the position; they supply
needed information and skills
– Referent Power – role model power
– Informational Power – access to, and distribution of, data
– Ecological Power – arises out of control over the physical environment
18. Persuasion & Coercion in the International
Stage
■ The line between persuasion and coercion is rarely clear – They are NOT
polar opposites but a continuum of social influence
– Perception – A message influences two people but it is perceived as
persuasion for one but coercion for another
■ Terrorism
– Employs threats to compel individuals to behave as the coercer wants
them to behave but have persuasive goals
■ The point is not to defeat but to send a message where victims are used as
a means of altering the behavior of a larger audience
19.
20.
21. Persuasion, Propaganda &
Manipulation
■ Persuasion overlaps with propaganda and manipulation
– Propaganda – occurs when leaders have near or total control over
transmission of information, employ deception, and rely on media to
target masses of individuals
– Manipulation – when a persuader disguises his/her intent, hoping to
mislead the message recipient with a charming or otherwise
disingenuous message
25. Understanding Persuasive
Communication Effects
■ Propaganda happens through:
– Bandwagon
– Testimonial
– Transfer
– Fear / Name Calling
– Glittering / Generalities
– Euphemisms / Loaded Language
– Repetition
■ Persuasion, broadly defined, is a process that has a host of effects on
individuals, including:
– Forming (Shaping) – Socialization
– Reinforcing – Join’em, not beat’em
– Changing attitudes – Perhaps the most important impact
32. Historical Review of Persuasion
Scholarship
■ Rhetoric – use of argumentation, language and public address to
influence audiences or the art of public persuasion
– Teachers – Sophists
■ Were dedicated but needed to make a living
■ Plato – value truth above else
– Sophists sacrificed truth – practical knowledge to promote their
products
■ Sophistry – persuasive arguments that are glib and favor style over
more substantive concern
■ Dueling perspectives on persuasive communication
– Platonic thinking and cogent arguments
– Focuses on style, oratory, and simpler persuasive appeals
33. The First Persuasion Theorist
■ Aristotle – First scholar of persuasion
– Both Plato and the Sophist have a
point
■ Persuasion has virtues – his
principles called attention to source
and message characteristics and
recognized that speakers have to
adapt to their audiences
– Ethos – nature of the
communicator
– Pathos – Emotional state of the
audience
– Logos – Message arguments
■ His theory has blind spots that
reflect the biases of his era
34. When in Rome…
■ Roman scholars celebrated the art of eloquence
■ Cicero - Ideal Orator = individual of high virtue that serves the civic good
– Psychology of emotional appeals + control of facial expressions and
physical gestures
■ Quintilian – Ideal Citizen = the “good man speaking well”
– Development of moral principles
■ Emphasis on “man” was no mistake
■ CAREFUL! – “Roman rhetoricians’ devotion to moral oratory presents a
striking contrast to the savage moral culture prevalent in Rome at the time”
(p.45)
– Are Roman philosophies antidotes to the vices that pervaded Rome
during that era?
– Can we say the same about Powerful Sovereign Powers today?
– Why is so?
35. Rhetorical Developments in the U.S.
■ 18th Century America – A persuader’s paradise to mold public opinion
– America’s founding fathers – education in classical rhetoric was
presumed to be a prerequisite for political leadership
■ Kenneth Burke’s influential mid-20-century theory
– Emphasized the power of symbols and emotional identification
■ Both good and evil communicators can persuade through identification
– The audience is not a passive recipient but instead plays an active role
in the persuasive process
– Suggested ways in which social protest movements could harness
rhetoric to challenge and upend the status quo
■ Theoretical approach anticipated the radical rhetoric of 1960’s movements
36. Persuasion after Burke
■ Michel Foucault – Knowledge and truth are interwoven with power
– Those who rule a society define what is true and what counts as
knowledge
■ Karlyn Kohrs Campbell (1989)
– Rhetorical history has been dominated by men
– Women have been historically barred from speaking in many supposedly
great eras of rhetorical eloquence
■ Contemporary scholars questioned Foucault's postmodern views
– Individuals are less susceptible to the rhetoric of dominant groups and
government as Foucault suggested
■ Ex. Occupy Wall Street – use of symbols and rhetorical devices
37. Beyond Content & Oratory
■ Marshall McLuhan (1967) – “the medium is the message”
– Alerted people about the ways in which the medium – television, radio, print –
was more important than the content of a communicator’s speech
■ Jamieson (1988) – “eloquence in an electronic age”
– Eloquence now centers on the visual experience, sound bites, and
dramatic stories

39. Origins of the Social Scientific
Approach
■ Rhetorical approaches offer insights on the basics arguments employed in
contemporary persuasion
– But they do not provide evidence the effects of persuasive communications in
everyday situations
■ SSA – born in the 1930s with early research on attitudes
– Powers of propaganda and persuasion during WWI
■ Germany’s exploitation of communications for destructive purposes
– U.S. needed a communication initiative to mobilize soldiers
■ Why We Fight Research – Persuasion research could be harnessed by government
for its own ends
– Beneficial, but certainly not value-neutral objectives
■ Carl Hovland (1953) – discovered that credible sources influenced attitudes
– Developed an enduring scientific approach to persuasion
40. The Contemporary Study of
Persuasion
■ Contemporary scholars develop persuasion theories from a Social Science Point of
View approach:
– Theory – umbrella conceptualization of a phenomenon that contains
hypotheses, proposes linkages between variables, explains events, and offer
predictions
1. Formulation of theories about attitudes and persuasion through:
– Experiments – convincing evidence that one variable causes changes in
another
– Surveys – questionnaire studies that examine the relationship between one
factor and another
■ Surveys do not provide unequivocal evidence of causation
2. Derives hypotheses from these theories
3. Puts these hypotheses to empirical test
■ Hypotheses are evaluated on the basis of evidence and data collected
■ If the hypotheses are supported over and over again, to a point of absolute
confidence, they become laws of human behavior
41.
42. Seeing the Big Picture
■ Persuasion = Persuasive
– What sort of world would it be if there were no persuasive
communications?
■ Would “force” carry the day?
■ Persuasion is a profoundly civilizing influence
– Prizes oratory and argument
■ Constructive mechanism for advancing our claims and trying to change
institutions
– Is not always pretty
– Is not analogous to truth
– Assumes without question that people have a free choice
– Persuaders also make choices about how to best appeal to audiences
■ Ethical v. Unethical communication
43.
44. Persuasion & Ethics
■ At the heart of persuasion there are ethical dilemmas
– Persuasion is NOT amoral – there is ethical and unethical persuasion
■ Plato and Aristotle discussed it, and Machiavelli touched on it
■ Persuasion ethics demand consideration – analysis process
– We want to be treated with respect (as ends and not means)
– We want to achieve our goals
■ Is influence incompatible with the ethical treatment of human beings?
– For both Plato and Kant it is!
■ Plato – Persuasion is incompatible with the truth
■ Kant – Persuasion treats humans as means
– Utilitarianisms says that it depends!
■ Persuasion can be used for good or bad purposes, with ethical and unethical intentions
– Aristotle endorsed this view – persuasion can be used by anyone
45. Normative Theories of Ethics
■ What determines whether a particular act is ethical or unethical?
■ Utilitarianism – actions should be judged on what produces more positive
than negative consequences
– From the 18th and 19th centuries by Jeremy Benham and John Stuart Mill
– Common-sense, explicit, and quantifiable series of principles to resolve
moral problems
■ Gives short shrift to moral duty, intentions, and universal obligations
■ Kant deontological theory – the moral value of an act derives from the
respect it accords individuals as ends in and of themselves
– By 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant
– Premium on duty and persuader’s intention
■ Can lead to rigid enforcement of obligations, underplaying instances where
exceptions should be made to serve an uplifting moral end
