Mustafa1991 8 / 373 4 Dec 5, 2009 #2So the question is asking you to identify, approach, and analyze until you come up with an answer."Can" = Is it possible"some or all" = At least a fairly small but appreciable number"our media routines" = You Define"be regarded" = be thought of as"media rituals" = You DefineIs it possible for at least a fairly small but appreciable number of X to be thought of as XX?To that I would answer yes, without question. Why would I be answering the question otherwise? You're not given esoteric standards to hold your answer with, so go ahead and answer yes without hesitation. Of course it is possible for a relatively few of one thing to be regarded (by someone unspecified) as a more specific thing.Look up the particular words if need be, examine what makes them different, and ask yourself how they could overlap with each other. When do a series of actions take on qualities that make them more than just routine but ritualistic? Explain how some media routines are correctly described media rituals according to the qualities.
EF_Kevin 8 / 13,321 129 Dec 5, 2009 #3This sounds like it is based on something someone said. Who coined the term "media ritual?"Oh... I googled it and found that lots of people are writing about this concept. Read some of what other people wrote johnpostill.co.uk/reviews/postill_CouldryReview.pdfThen, form your opinion and make an argument!:-)
