Radio is considered as the “grandfather” of mass communication. Radio communication affects us in our everyday lives. It entertains us through music and dialogue, it informs us about the news or weather, and it persuades our mind. Roger C. Bethel from childhood to about eighteen years old had dreams of becoming a world renowned musician and having his music played over the radio. Eventually, these dreams were diminished. This allowed him to use his voice to communicate to the masses. The foundation of mass communication rest on the shoulders of the radio. The radio is unique in it’s own way. Music usually is often used to entertain us on the radio. Mr. Bethel used communication to speak to the people in who he wanted to reach at the time. …show more content…
Music has it’s own way of speaking to our minds and hearts, Mr. Bethel had the power to select the song in which he deemed necessary to speak to us. The radio also informs us about things around us. Its mostly a psychological thing. “I don’t have to say a word on the radio,” he said, “It talks for itself; I’m just a director, directing the broadcast along. Even if I don’t say anything the common interest of music of the masses allows me to dictate what information I want to follow it. (Bethel)” Most individuals can say that they enjoy listening to music. If the truth be told, most people only listens to the radio at times for the music. In this way, Mr. Bethel utilizes what he has in order to do something …show more content…
In this way, local business commercials can be heard by thousands of people in the area and Mr. Bethel’s job is to ensure that what is being advertised successfully is sold; he is the vessel the determines whether or not listeners become interested in the product. The way something is sold is all in the voice of the person promoting it. Many can witness that Mr. Bethel’s voice was unique in its own way and to hear him speak was captivating and cultivating. When he used his voice over the radio, the ratings of the broadcast, the promotion deals, and also the calls that he received at the radio station from listeners climaxed
The author goes into details about Jeff’s family history and his exposure to low cholesterol is linked to an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Having a history of cardiovascular disease may temp one to change their lifestyle and eating habits leaning towards a low carbohydrate and more natural diet. It took a turn in Jeff's case when the so-called healthily eating habits were not working in his favor. Moalem stresses on how epigenetics comes into play, Jeff’s pre-exposure to cardiovascular disease was readily detectable but predicting HFI was a challenge. He highlights other situations where he argues that organism genes may be altered and can be expressed differently in environments. Claiming that based on epigenetics, physical activities, experiences, diets, and other lifestyles choices is crucial when it comes to gene expression. Talking about the queen been and worker bees, he emphasizes the fact that they have the same genes. Moalem argues that the genes of these two creatures are expressed differently because of what the queen bee ate. Queen bees are genetically superior since in their diet as a larva they are raised on royal jelly thus their phenotype as expressed differently. In making these claims, he supports the new Idea of epigenetics, which asserts that the genes of a person are not their destiny since they are subject to

“If Genetics was the recipe then Epigenetics would be the Chef who would create his own idea of how to present the dish”, ~ Eliza Hazlerigg
...hich inherited traits, such as those for genetic disease, can be tracked over generations. Throughout out the course of human development, scientists will continue to find new new ways to help the human race through the discovery of the human gene inside of each of us, its uses, as well as complications, that can help the survival of our species.
After the First World War, many people were looking forward to good times. The 1920’s presented people with this time of fast-paced fun and adventure. Entertainment was the foremost part of everyday life during the 1920’s. Radio introduced a whole new practice of entertainment to people’s everyday lives. Likewise, through the utilization of the radio, people were able to experience a new medium to entertain themselves. Furthermore, the radio changed the face of society’s culture through its widespread use. In addition, radios provided people with a new, effective and efficient means of communication. Radio was a fundamental aspect in people’s lives during the 1920’s as it provided many people with news and entertainment in their day-to-day lives.
In “Wires and Lights in a Box,” the author, Edward R. Murrow, is delivering a speech on October 15, 1958, to attendees of the Radio-Television News Directors Association. In his speech, Murrow addresses how it is his desire and duty to tell his audience what is happening to radio and television. Murrow talks about how television insulates people from the realities in the world, how the television industry is focused on profits rather than delivering the news to the public, and how television and radio can teach, illuminate, and inspire.
Epigenetics, which also means “above genetics”, is defined as the study of chemical reactions that take place in the organism as this one grows and develop. This chemical reaction activate and deactivate at certain time and location some parts of the genome. The video resulted extremely interesting because it shows how our body react to the epigenomes and how important is our lifestyle to our health and for the health of our next generations.
During the week of class 17 The Radio Star, the required reading was called, ‘Speaking into the Air: A History of the Idea of Communication’ by John Durham Peters. The text touches base on the topic of the radio in specific broadcasting communication signals. The radio has changed the way society receives information in ways that are more quick and efficient. Society is now able to listen in on live radio broadcasts in the convenience of their car while driving to school or work. This is especially helpful when it comes to traffic reports. 680 news is my go to radio station while driving. It allows me to be cautious and aware of what routes to avoid.
From the beginning of the radio’s time it has significantly change slowly but surely. In reality, the radio owes its success to the Great Depression. Why? Well before it became as popular as it is today, only the “rich” were able to afford what they called a “wireless set”. Once they became more convenient everyone and their cousin owned one of these fantastic devices. Some can say this device may have created something so great for the future to come. In a time when the “average salary was $1,368 and a round steak ran about 42 cents a pound” [Sutton] , a radio was just a simple treasure, that graced the homes of so many. Whether it be for a great story or just to catch up on the day to day news, the radio played a very important role in the lives of so many who came to know just how depressing the Great Depression truly was.
Epigenetics is the study of both heritable and non-heritable changes in gene translation, which do not stem from mutation. Epigenetic alterations to DNA may occur in several different ways; histone modification, DNA methylations, expression of microRNAs, and changes of the chromatin structure (Ntanasis-Stathopoulos et al). Depending on their presentation, they may be passed on to offspring. The exact mechanism of heritable epigenetic modification has not been discovered, but all of these alterations may have some impact on a wide range of disorders and have far reaching implications in the medical field. The study of epigenetics seeks to answer the age old question of whether nature or nurture is responsible for our phenotype, and it has arrived at the answer that in fact, both are. The discovery of epigenetic changes may lead us to cure many disorders, and even personality problems.

Mass communication is to use a source or medium to reach a large audience to communicate your message. People are communicating with each other since the evaluation of human, and with the passage of time it become more and more advance. After the emergence of media and development of new technologies, it gave birth to different media theories and these theories showed a transformation over the last two decades. Mass media communication theories divides in four following eras:
The radio is the oldest use of media for music. It has not lost its importance in spreading music though. Bands today still rely on the radio to help spread their music so people will want to but their albums. For a band to gain an audience and to get people to buy their albums they first need to let the people hear their music. The radio is the simplest media to spread music, but it is very effective. All that has to happen is a person starts driving in their car or sits at home and then they turn on the radio. If they hear a song that they like then they might go buy the album.
...y. Many people took advantage of the radio and attempted to raise social consciousness through the broadcasting of songs and lyrics (information). Radio allowed information to be distributed in a wide range. Song's were played to whomever would listen, and not just in certain areas and ethnic boundaries. One such educator was Bob Dylan. Over three decades Bob Dylan released 46 albums. Dylan's combination of folk music, social consciousness, and the radio allowed him to speak to a nation. The information he was sending was heard by millions upon millions and could be traced all the way back to the simple grunt some 250,000 to 300,000 years ago.
The invention of the radio had an immense impact, revolutionizing the unity of society. “I live in a strictly rural community, and people here speak of ‘The Radio’ in the large sense, with an over-meaning,” said E.B. White in 1933. “When they say ‘The Radio’ they don’t mean a cabinet, an electrical phenomenon, or a man in a studio, they refer to a pervading and somewhat godlike presence which has come into their life and homes” (Lewis). The radio became a mighty weapon whose power involved spreading ideas to millions of listeners, who may otherwise never have heard those inspirational messages. Religious fanatics used to stand at the back of churches shouting radical nonsense, while others would ignore. Now, those fanatics have the opportunity to mass communicate their ideas to a much larger pool of people, furthering the chance for ideas to spread. The morality behind the messages of these ideas, however, is up for contention. The invention of the radio exposed the dual nature of the ability to mass communicate to millions of people instantaneously.
