Technopoly
Critical Summary of Neil Postman’s Technopoly, The Surrender of Culture and Technology To think about a time where technology did not influence, or control societies actions or reactions is difficult to do unless asked the question of technologies history and hold on today’s society. In Ellul’s The Technological Society, technique was used as a totalitarian state’s method of controlling of populations and systems, but in Neil Postman’s assessment of technology, it is technology that is the totalitarian state that controls those who believe they are in control of the systems in place to regulate society. With each innovation of thought and machine, humanity seems devoid of meaning, by being reduced to numerical data and statistics. This is important to academic research because to answer many issues that plague society, the institutions of academia must observe that they may have been comprised by technology’s control of the way they think or ask questions. The continuous drive for efficiency and effectiveness in strategic communication, has been the author’s objective in writing critical summaries about technology, but now with Postman’s view of technology, that drive is a symptom of technology’s evolution.

A Discussion
Introduction In reading the textbook by Littlejohn, Foss, and Oetzel (2017), and Ruddock (2017), there are theories about communications that apply to problems in society and culture strikingly relevant. Racial tensions in the United States are high, and many African Americans see the Justice System as an injustice control mechanism to protect the white establishment. A video from a minor's iPhone helped obtain a guilty verdict against Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. This case and many others demonstrate the differences in American society and culture and how the media covers the incident—the media influences how specific audiences of different culture groups choose to react to societal problems. Government agencies also must work to maintain public trust in their institutions and strategic communications. The research that guides the process plays a vital role in maintaining that trust.

Technological Society
Abstract This paper analyzes Jacques Ellul’s book The Technological Society and its relation to strategic military communication topics.

Ellul's wide range of concepts goes into great detail to inform critical thinking and provides vast insight into how contemporary issues such as disinformation and technical aspects of military communication can be analyzed for future research.

Why are dreams significant in our life?
What are dreams? Dreams are the experiences that a human being undergoes because his mind is constantly acting upon thoughts, ideas, and memories. While dreaming is an everyday tradition for most humans, we cant seem to remember them when we wake up. This makes us question what are dreams and why do we have them in our life?
