Media richness theory proposed by Richard L. Daft, and Robert H. Lengel in 1984. The theory indicates that all communication media vary in their ability for users to communicate and change understanding, as the name "richness".

The church brought American media on trail and in doing so made me aware of how even at a young age we are programmed to believe that black is bad and white is good. Author Jared Diamond referred to this dichotomy as Metaphysical imperialism and explains its theory in his book called Guns, Germs, and Steel.

When a college student declares proudly that they are in a long distance relationship, people feel sorry for them.

Some state that "all you need is love," and still others affirm that "love lifts us up where we belong." People dream about finding their one and only soul mate, and in this day and age, the pursuit for love and happiness is closer to home than ever
The proponents of technology have always believed that technology is a product of independent creation and thus follows its own pace. They say that technology is forceful and society does not have a choice but to adapt to the changes that it imposes on the people. The members of any particular society may not be actually happy with the change but eventually they learn to accept it, as a result of which the process of change comes a full circle. This idea however is debatable because many critics

The medium and the message in social media: Twitter This essay is based on Marshall McLuhan (1967) theory, which states that the medium is the message.
