Rivers, W. L. (1971). The mass media and modern society.

Rivers and William analyzes the effects of communication and the way in which it is influenced by society in turn. The main research in this paper is the influence of the mass media on contemporary society in the 1970s. This article explores the social, economic, and intellectual environments in which media operate. The two intellectual factors that have the greatest impact on the US media – liberalism and social responsibility – were discussed in detail. From a historical perspective, the author discusses the relationship between government and the media, the impact of economic factors on the structure of the communications industry, and the various roles played by the media. For example, the current conflict between the president and the press is seen in the context of the relationship between the president and the press since the Franklin Roosevelt era. In describing the audiences of various media, the author reviews the sociological factors involved in media selection. They predicted the impact of the communications revolution on mass media and communication models. This article can strongly support the direction of my investigation, and the new media has had a huge impact on the traditional communication model.

Rubtcova, M., & Pavenkov, O. (2019, March). Media-Communication in Modern Educational Sphere. In ISERD–565th I nternational Conference on Economics, Management and Social Study (ICEMSS) (Vol. 15).

Rubtcova and Pavenkov discusses media communication issues in the field of education. We focus on the interdisciplinary nature of media communication research, which is determined by the complex and complex impact of individuals and society, the globalization process and modern information challenges, such as the mutual penetration of the physical world and cyberspace, cognition, interpersonal relationships and society. The impact of the information environment. Media communication is considered to be a process related to the dissemination of specially prepared information of social and personal significance by different groups and individuals through technical means. We conclude that the role of media communication in education includes: ideological and political influence education, maintenance of society, organization, notification, education, communication and entertainment. The specific content of the media communication function depends on the particularity of the social, economic and cultural background of the Russian education field, through radical changes in the forms and methods of communication, cultural production and consumption, economic, political and interpersonal relationships. It is my expectation to change the traditional communication mode in teaching through new media and improve the teaching level.

Kim, A. N., Caidi, N., & Chah, N. (2019). ‘Our Korea’: Transcultural affinity as negotiated through YouTube encounters.

The authors studied specific types of YouTube videos produced by individuals who are cultural translators, and the work that such videos do to achieve audience cross-cultural communication and cultural accomplishment. They chose eight videos from two popular YouTube channels, both of which involved Korean culture and were run by non-Koreans. The video and comment sections were analyzed to assess the nature of online interaction and participation. These analyses yielded four main types of interaction. The survey results show changes in audience and language in the comments section and the types of engagement on the platform. Our findings also support the view that cultural literacy is formed through information sharing, Q/A forms of interaction, reflecting one’s own culture, and creating culture together. YouTube content creators can serve as an effective cultural bridge. The YouTube platform is ideal for cross-cultural communication and promotes cross-cultural affinity and cultural literacy in this increasingly globalized world.

YouTube is an international platform. In addition to not only accessing various languages, but also improving students’ critical thinking by understanding different cultures

Media influences culture and society by allowing for a very rapid exchange of ideas. Through the media, ideas concerning medicine, politics, religions, and any number of other important subjects can spread and take root across the globe, with profound consequences for cultures and societies.

During intercultural adaptation, people use social media to learn about their host countries, establish and maintain relationships, and stay informed with events in their home countries. Communication and interaction are key factors that influence howsocial media impacts intercultural adaptation.

In today’s globalized society, new social media has become an increasingly popular part of our daily lives. They provide an environment where people around the world can communicate, exchange information, share knowledge, and communicate with each other, regardless of the distance between them. Intercultural adaptation involves the process of promoting understanding through interaction to increase the level of adaptation to meet the needs of the new cultural environment. Studies have shown that people tend to use new social media to become more integrated into the subject culture during adaptation and to maintain contact with their home country.

The relationship between communication and culture is a very complex and intimate relationship. First, culture is created through communication; that is, communication is the means of human interaction, through which cultural characteristics – whether customs, roles, rules, rituals, laws, or other models – are created and shared. When people interact in relationships, groups, organizations or societies, people start to create culture, not culture, which is a natural by-product of social interaction. In a sense, culture is the “residence” of social interaction. Without the means of communication and communication, it is impossible to spread cultural identity from one place to another. Therefore, it can be said that culture is created, shaped, disseminated, and learned through communication. The opposite is also true; that is to say, communication practice is mainly created, shaped and disseminated through culture.

To understand the meaning of this communication – cultural relationship, it is necessary to think from a continuous communication process rather than a single communication event. For example, when a three-person group meets for the first time, members bring in their personal experiences and behavioral patterns of previous communication experiences and other cultures that they have or have been part of. As individuals begin to communicate with other members of this new group, they begin to create a shared set of experiences and ways to talk about them. If the group continues to interact, a unique set of history, patterns, customs and rituals will change. Some of these cultural characteristics will be very visible and tangible, so newcomers joining the organization will encounter a continuing culture.

Culture will change over time. In fact, culture is changing – although changes are sometimes very slow and difficult to detect. Many forces influence cultural change. As mentioned above, culture is created through communication, and through communication between individuals, culture changes over time. Everyone who participates in the exchange will get the sum of his or her own experience from other (past or present) cultural members. In a sense, any encounter between a new relationship, group, organization, or individual in society is an intercultural communication event that affects individuals and culture over time. Travel and communication technologies have greatly accelerated the spread of information from one cultural environment to another, and in a large and small way, culture interacts through communication. Phrases such as “melting pot”, “world community” and “global village” illustrate the inevitability of cross-cultural influences and changes.

Culture is basically invisible. The characteristics of relationships, groups, organizations, or social culture are largely invisible to members, just as those who breathe it do not see the air. Of course, the language is visible, as are greeting conventions, special symbols, places and spaces. However, the special and defined meanings of these symbols, greetings, places and spaces to individuals in culture are far less obvious. For example, people can observe kissing people when they greet, but unless people have more cultural knowledge, it is difficult to determine what their relationship, group, organization or social and cultural context means. In other words, if there is no more cultural knowledge, it is hard to say if the kiss is a habitual greeting among casual acquaintances, or if such greetings are left to family or lovers. Another example is that steak is considered an excellent food in some cultures. However, if a person is a member of a vegan or sacred culture of cattle, the same steak will have a completely different cultural meaning.

communication and social-culture in modern media

We are now in the age of information explosion. Based on different social and cultural backgrounds, educators should focus on strengthening the critical thinking of learners to reduce misunderstandings in communication.

In the social-cultural view, messages are products of negotiation: All participants must arrive at shared meaning for successful communication. The degree of social interaction within the group is also an important factor affecting communication.

Meanwhile ，the effect of social media communication can be examined from two dimensions: on the micro level, the effect of directed communication is significant, the information is transmitted based on the real friend status, and the feedback from the audience is timely. The rise of community groups has made the internal viscosity of this group stronger. Within the group, the speed of information dissemination will be extremely rapid. At the same time, social media interpersonal relationships tend to form “weak links” interpersonal relationships.

The adolescent period is an important period of socialization. The socialization of this stage belongs to the basic socialization stage and has a profound impact on their future development. Social media is like a double-edged sword, which has a huge impact on adolescents’ personality, psychology, social life, way of thinking, and interpersonal relationships. While enriching the lives of young people, social networks have also had some negative impacts on them, making them face difficulties in mastering the socialization of skills regulation, cultural heritage, value establishment, social interaction, personality shaping, and role-playing. Therefore, using sociology and psychology related theories to analyze and make recommendations on the socialization of young people under the influence of social media is not only of theoretical significance but also of practical significance.
