3 Chapter 3 & Chapter 4 Discussion Questions Typographic Mind & Typographic America 1. What are some of the factors which accounted for print being a pervasive and dominant medium of communication in seventeenth and eighteenth century America? 2. How did the form of discourse dominant during colonial American influence the content of discourse? Why did the domination of print tend to encourage "rationality"? 3.

You are the producer of a television news show how would you manage the form and content of the news in order to attract and keep viewers, in order to foster understanding, reflection and insight? 7.

What is an information environment called "trivial pursuit" and how does television news contribute to this environment? 11. Americans may be increasingly relying on newsmagazines and mini-series for their current and historical information about the world. In defending the historical inaccuracies in a miniseries a writer remarked "it is better for audiences to learn something that is untrue, if it is entertaining, than not to learn anything at all." Agree/Disagree explain. Chapter 8 Discussion Questions Shuffle Off to Bethlehem 1. Television favors moods of conciliation and is at its' best when substance of any kind is muted.

Do most people understand the symbolic meaning of the spectacle in their form or worship? 11. Is there a difference between "entertainment" and "enchantment"? 5
6 12. Televised religion is blasphemous. Agree/Disagree, explain. 13. The danger is not that religion has become the content of television shows but that television shows may become the content of religion. 14. "You can get your share of the audience only by offering them something they want." Should our news, our educators, our politicians, and our spiritual leaders follow this directive?

Why can it be said that many commercials adopt form of the parable or "pseudo-parable" 10.

To what extent is the content of elementary and secondary school curriculum being influenced by television? 8. To what extent are methods employed in elementary and secondary school curriculum being influenced by television? 9. Does television carry its cognitive biases and social effects into the classroom? 10. Can the nature of television influence how we learn, how does Postman define competent instruction? Chapter 11 Fundamental Assumptions The Huxleyan Warning Students must create 6 discussion questions that are related to the following fundamental assumptions. 1. Television now controls the flow of public discourse in our country. 2. In the Age of Television our information environment is completely different from colonial America. 3. Television presents information in a form which renders it simplistic, non-substantive, nonhistorical, and non-contextual. 4. In our culture we are never denied the opportunity to amuse ourselves. The television screen always wants you to remember that the imagery is always available for your amusement and pleasure. 7
8 5. Cultural life is slowly being redefined as a perpetual round of entertainment. 6. Technology has both benefits and costs for a culture. 7. New technology has the capacity to alter a culture's news, politics, social relations, commerce,, and religion 8. Television serves us quite useful when providing pure entertainment. 9. It is a threat to culture when it turns serious modes of discourse e.g. news, education, and religion into forms of entertainment. 10. To combat the potential negative influences of television we need to educate people about the way in which a technology functions as a medium of communication and influence the nature, role, and function of information in a culture. 11. Only through an awareness of the structure and effects of television, through a demystification of media, will we be able to gain some measure of control over mediums of communication e.g. television, the computer, electronic mail, interactive video and so forth. 12. We need to become more media-conscious. 13. How can we use education to control our technological mediums of communication? 14. American television limits freedom of expression and choice because its only criterion for merit and significance is popularity. 8
