rewrite the answers to these questions. This is an example and I just want you to rewrite it so it is in a different style of wording, that is all.
Hello classmates!
These are my answers to the Week One Forum Discussion Questions:
1) It can be easily argued and counter claimed that public relations is in fact not a dying industry, but rather a flourishing industry. This is especially true in the United States where according to Seitel’s (2013) input from the U.S. Bereau of Labor Statistics, the rapid expansion of the public relations industry in the recent century is, “faster than the average for all occupations” (Pg. 3), thus indicating that the growth of the occupation is directly related to the ever-rising demand for public relations professionals and firms to influence a company, agency, or person’s image in the public’s eyes. These demands positively contributed to the growth the industry as more and more people have access to information and opinions. This serves the public relations industry well, as companies need to ensure they understand what is out there in views, opinions, desires, and perceptions, and they need to best reflect their public image to best suite the needs of their company amongst so much available information and technology.
2) The events and indications that challenge leaders and governments to recognize the growing power of global media, public opinion, and democracy include in large part the far reaching effects of the internet and social media in relation to globalization and the availability of like-minded individuals to connect with each other (Seitel, 2013, Pg. 26). The world has become even more deeply connected due to the introduction of the internet decades ago, and this internet-based world has significantly impacted the way the people of the world interact with each other, especially those who choose to make their views and opinions even more viewable to a wider public audience. Globalization allows for information, opinions, and pictures to instantaneously be uploaded for the consumption of an information hungry public audience, meaning that it is critical for leaders and governments to make every effort to ensure their public image remains ideal for the circumstances, much to the benefit of public relations companies globally.
3) The following are the most popular explanations for what communication theorists believe constitutes a message:
a) The most popular theory is known as, “the content In the message” in which, “the real importance of a communication…lies in the meaning of an article or intent of a speech” (Seitel, 2013, Pg. 54). This pretty much means that the information that is actually delivered is the message itself, its “meaning” or “intended meaning” is what is meant to be received by the public or audience.
b) A second theory is known as, “the medium is the message” (Seitel, 2013, Pg. 55) which argues that the message is only as credible as the receiver believes it to be based off of the medium by which the message was delivered. Despite whether or not the information is actually relevant, true, or important is widely dependent upon the medium or source from which the message is being delivered and by who is receiving it. As explained by Seitel (2013), while some people may feel as though a blog is a credible source, others in the public may not feel the same way and believe that an online newspaper is a far more credible source, or that the blog itself is not a credible source at all (Pgs. 55-56).
c) A third theory is known as, “the man—or, to avoid political incorrectness, the person—is the message” (Seitel, 2013, Pg. 56). In this theory, what is being said isn’t necessarily the message, but rather the person speaking the message is the message itself. The way a speaker delivers a message could be the content of what actually makes up the message—the delivery is the message. In these situations, any number of different types of speakers could deliver the same exact message in words, however, a charismatic speaker could deliver a far more powerful message based off of how the delivery, rather than the words chosen. The words may be exactly the same between a dry and monotone speech versus a vibrant and charismatic speech, but the message received by the public would be very different based of the actual delivery.
