Musicals, Then and Now
For my final project, I decided to do a compare and contrast PowerPoint comparing musicals then and now. While I was working on my project I was able to draw a connection between some key terms in the book and class notes. The key terms I selected related to a range of concepts and theories learned in class throughout the semester They also helped to make my PowerPoint more easily understood with the message I was trying to send. I choose to do my final project on musicals because flashing back to my early childhood I was always in love with musicals. They paved a way for me to see life in a much better perception than one could ever imagine. I fell in love with several musicals such as West Side Story, RENT and the Sound of Music.
In this final evaluative essay, I will cover information to describe how my self-designated project assist us in better understanding the growth of musicals through the role of mass communication in our lives. This will be explained through five relevant theoretical ideas selected from the text and class discussion, social media, digital divide, newspapers, television, and culture imperialism respectively.
I. Social Media
Musicals are all about informing and educating the population in respect to mass communication which enforces storytelling and strategy with a certain purpose. Mass communication has become a vigorous and an uninterrupted part of our routine life. With the divergence and growth of mass communication, it has stretched out to a selection of wide-range of social media and digital uses. The Merriam-Webster dictionary define Social Media as, the forms of electronic communication through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other contents such as videos. In the class text, practitioners and researches describe social media as the social interaction which involves sharing, creation, and the story telling of past, present, and current events
