Besides protecting china from foreign armies what other purposes could the great wall have served

1 answer:

7 0

To understand the Wall, we need to first understand why it was built. Most Great Wall histories tell us that it was built in order to keep out “nomadic tribes from the north”. But who were they exactly?

Nearly half of Modern China is desert, mountain or arid plateau, particularly in the north. Throughout China’s history, the people from these unforgiving “northern steppe” areas lived in close proximity (often overlapping territories) with the Chinese. These northern nomads were certainly not all homogenous, however they shared many similarities and had distinctively different cultures and languages from the Chinese.

For over 2,000 years—they regularly harassed, invaded and even conquered the settled agricultural civilizations of the Chinese Empire.

This change had an impact in the gender roles. In regards to the women role in society, there was a change from gathering seeds, fruits and vegetables to a role more passive inside a house making clothes and devoting more time to child care. Now that there was surplus of food, and there was no constant worries for survival, the families could have more children.

Answer:

Study of Communication History Criticism (Kovarik)- Relatively new but histories of the press appear far back as 1683. Critical perspectives of printing business appeared in 20th century inspired by Theodore Roosevelt's denunciation muckraking in 1906, and Walter Lippmann's "Public Opinion" in 1920. Even in early 21st century media students saw media historians lagging behind social issues and digital revolution. It has been nationalistic and parochial and needs more breadth and integration.

Harold Innis- (1894-1952) economic historian who said Western Civilization has been influenced by communication technologies. Civilizations using durable media oriented towards time and religious orthodoxy (Babylon) while others with flexible media (Rome, Greece, modern) were oriented towards control f space and a secular approach to life.

Marshall McLuhan- (1911-1980) Jesuit priest and media scholar who became popular with an aphoristic writing style ("the medium is the message") and was influenced by Innis. Believed tech would move us into a "global village." Believed media were extensions/amputations of ourselves and later influenced Walter Ong. Tended towards technological determinism.

Technological Determinism- Technology is path-dependent, with inevitable changes and consequently predicable impacts on culture.

Social Constructionists- See a stronger influence for economics, politics, and culture that control technological development.

Luddites- 1811 when thousands of British textile workers lost their jobs following the introduction of steam powered machinery. Mobs of starving worked broke into the factory and busted the textile machinery and blamed it on a mythical figure named Ned Ludd. They only intended to break the machines but people were also killed/hurt.

Technological Fallacies- Predictions about technology that don't come true

Hot and Cool Media- A term coined by McLuhan in Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (1964). While very subjective the idea is that media that are "cool" require participation from an audience/user while those that are "hot" invite easy participation endless conscious immersion.

McLuhan's Tetrad- New communication technologies crate four effects: (1) The new media enhances something (2) New media makes something obsolete (3) New media retires something that had nearly been forgotten from an earlier time (4) The new media reverse or flip into something different.

Classifying Media Services- A four section grid with reception time and place on the left side (broken into individual and central control) and on the top source of information (broken into central and individual). From top left to right top-down programs (traditional mass media) and virtual market (eBay, etc) and at the bottom left rich content and social media.

Oral Culture- Humans are born with a natural capacity for xmix language with thousands of words. People in oral culture think in practical concrete ways rather than abstract or linear ways. Decision by consensus, and modern board room or modern jury retain elements of oral culture. Ong observes mnemonic memory using aphorisms, tendency toward high descriptive speech, and constant communal communication.
