Social media is a medium where we can channel all the information, communication, and thinking what we want to communicate to others online via the internet. So many social media today, one of them facebook. I am sure no one who does not know this social networking site. Facebook often discussed both in the virtual world itself and in the real world. Phenomena that occur as a result of these social networking also had become a hot topic of conversation in society. So many social phenomena that arise from the existence of communities in cyberspace, especially through facebook. For example the case of the missing girl or raped by someone she knew through facebook. Things like this attract the public to be more careful in using social media on this one.

Other social media like twitter, blogs, youtube, myspace, and many others also offer various advantages they include a relationship of friendship in order to establish communication between the members as a means of channeling information very easy to use. However, social media is not only used to simply establish a relationship of friendship. More than that, social media is also used both in the political, economic, and cultural. The presence of social media eventually led to many changes not only in the aspect of social life but to all aspects of society (political, economic, and cultural).

Television is Your Partner


Television, a good friend or bad?


Now this is not denied if the TV is one option to accompany us the moment of free time available. Moreover in the era of globalization is now growing rapidly began to highlight the technological sophistication of lucrative television included. The modern age now, who the hell do not have any television? Both groups of people anywhere, they all have a television because the price of a television right now is not as expensive as before.

Television is a medium that provides information via audio visual broadcasting.Through television variety of information available both in the news events and other events. Some television shows are available specially programmed TV station itself that is sure to attract the attention of viewers. All television stations are competing to create and develop the greatness pitted interesting programs. Television in addition to providing important information to know a decent audience, he also serves as an entertainer through events as diverse as, soap operas, reality shows, variety shows, game shows, etc.. All of these programs fit neatly organized schedules of our daily lives. Television as if deliberately set to always be there diselah-Shelah our free time.In fact not only that, when we were working was sometimes television became quite good friends with the audio. However, whether all of which provided the television is good for us? To be honest is not.

Not all television programs that are available it is good to be consumed by the audience. Many impressions-impressions that do not weigh that should be selected to receive the information submitted. Like for example today's television soap operas.Average of all the television stations have programs sinetronnya each at least one fruit. Chronology of soap operas are also varied, there is a drama comedy, romance, the struggle for wealth, and others. One thing that makes a good soap opera that is not consumed is contained in every soap opera of violence. Not a single patron who does not have an antagonistic role. Short film was definitely a role for antagonists. It's actually not wrong because it is true there should be a storyline role of protagonist and antagonist. However, the manufacture of soap operas today no longer think in terms of education for viewers who saw it only concerned itself with the interests of the soap opera storylines are made redundant. As the role of antagonist that is not endless cruelties might even be cruel to attract attention penontonya. They do not think about the impact that will arise with the show acting roles beyond proper limits.

Therefore, in some programs broadcast by television, especially in the short film, often seen writing the R-BO (Teen-Parent Guidance) in the upper left or lower right. It was intended, so that every teenager who witnessed those impressions through parental guidance should also order the teen was not misinterpret the message.Undertake a selection of impressions-impressions are broadcast by television is necessary because not all of which are given by both the television and in accordance with reality. Not a few television shows are made with engineering that seems like a genuine reality in general, but not much different from the soap opera-drama we are witnessing.

Do not be fooled by the television show, but by carefully selecting the look and impressions-impressions in which if useful for our future!

Trying to Understand the Mass Psychology



Capita Selekta lecture material held on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 discussing the topic of mass psychology. Discussion that is not too difficult but a lot of things that can be discussed from this material that makes it look quite complex to be understood only in approximately one half hour.

If you look at some of the phenomena or events that occur in our downtown today, many things that can be used as the discussions related to the psychology of the masses. However, before examining further, it helps us understand first what it called the psychology of the masses. According to Gustave Le Bon, a pioneer of mass psychology, mass psychology is the definition of a crowd numbering hundreds or thousands who gathered and entered into a relationship for a while, because of the interest and the interests which are temporary. Crowds of these people who are called by the masses. In the mass there is no interaction that occur evenly, there is no clear structure and the amount can be ascertained much. Crowds of people is often found when there is an event that occurs suddenly excited such as demonstrations, fights, traffic accidents, and others.




Mass psychology is closely related to the behavior of the masses which are formed when they agreed to be the mass inside an event. Usually the behavior is formed in which the collective behavior of this behavior leads to social and political movements that aim to achieve changes in social and political aspects as well.

However, it is very unfortunate that this behavior gives the adverse implications for the mass itself. Collective action that do not rely on mass mobilization and leadership and moves automatically because of the encouragement of individual consciousness is very strong. If allowed to follow the path that allows the emergence of the ongoing actions that are less enjoyable as a result of differences in attitudes between individuals who will ultimately self-defeating. For example we can see in the demonstration activities that often occur in Jakarta. Not a few events that ended with a demonstration of chaos occurs even anarchy. However, not all mass activities that give bad impact for each individual who participates in it. There are several mass activities can also provide a good impact as a crowd of people flocked to watch the concert. With the same goals and interests of a mass can behave well, respect and appreciate each other even with strangers.

For that, we as individuals must be smart in choosing the position of the masses. Do we want to be a good mass or masses are not responsible. It's good we would prefer to be a good mass to build a safe country, peaceful, and serene.

Semiotics in Communication



Semiotics, what the heck does that mean? Many people who understand that it is a sign of semiotics. Yeah, right. Semiotics derived from the Greek, meaning semeion sign or rather extensive study of a series of objects - objects, events - events, as well as the whole culture as a sign.

There are two figures who helped color the analysis of the modern semiotics, Ferdinand de Saussure was a linguist who came from Switzerland and Charles Sanders Peirce, American philosopher.




Saussure explains there are six basic principles of semiotics:
Structural Principles. Seen as a sign of unity between something that is material and conceptual. The focus of research is the relation between these elements, because of the relation will produce meaning.
Principles of Unity. A sign is an entity that can not be separated between the field marker that is concrete or a material with a field marker.
Conventional principle. The relation between signifier (the signifier) ​​and sign (the signified) is very dependent on what is called a convention, namely the social consensus about the language (the sign and significance) between the language communities.
Synchronic principle. The sign is seen as a system that remains in the context of time that is considered a constant, stable and unchanging.
Principles of Representation. The sign represents a reality that became a reference or references.
Principle of Continuity. The relation between the sign system and its users are socially viewed as a continuum, refers to the structure that has never changed.
In communications, a sign is an important element to produce effective communication. Communication is divided into two parts associated with the sign.First, verbal communication is communication that uses symbols or signs such as verbal and written language. Second, non-verbal communication, ie communication that uses symbols or non-verbal signs such as body language, gestures, eye contact and facial expressions. Both of these greatly affect the success of a communication which was built by the communicator with communicant. Communications are built with elements of verbal and non verbal aims to build the same meaning for both of them so that what is conveyed by the communicator is received correctly and appropriately by the communicant.



With the sign and the meaning of the communication perfectly formed like what we feel every day. Let us use the existing signs wisely to build the correct meaning.

Interactive Communications Related to Consumer Behavior



The behavior of consumers today are not only influenced by income and tastes, but no interference from the role of communications made to attract the attention of the target manufacturer. Communication used in this case is an interactive communication that was developed by Wilbur Schramm. Interactive communication is a two-way communication between the communicator where feedback becomes a very important role in this communication. When associated with consumer behavior, interactive communication is closely related to the use of advertising as a medium channeling messages that are believed to persuade consumers towards a product.
