the gift of cows.

The gift of the cows represented the highest honor to these people. It also was a symbol linking Kenya and the United States. This symbol was a far way from the United States, but it meant the world to them and is was meant to represent the union of the US and Kenya.

The Transmission and Cultural Models of Communication

The Transmission model is the easiest of the two models. The source sends a message to a receiver. It makes it easier for people to communicate this way. You don't have to think about what you are saying and if the receiver is going to understand the message. As the receiver you must first determine if the message you received was the same as when it was sent.

The cultural model emphasizes the fact that people exist in a world of shared meaning that they take for granted. I think that this means that communicating to one another is harder. They may feel that same way about one topic but getting the message across is the tough part. You would have to explain yourself more and that is why this method is not used the least.

Representation

When watching the first part on the clip was that is was really hard to concentrate on the speaker and what he was saying. After listening to his words it is true that our culture is saturated with image in many of forms.That is why news papers are having trouble with getting new subscribers.

We like to watch the news on tv because we have to option of the stations helping us create our own opinions. They may be in different forms from station to station but most of us would rather listen and watch than having to read a newspaper.
