By Papiya Mondal  Well be a part of 21st century and thinking about a world without communication we can think about the old century when people didn't have language and and no way of communication. Ofcourse it was and it would be so hard  in a  daily life that we can explain  through a child. Without the ability for a child to communicate fully or to understand what is happening in their day, a child can feel completely out of control, lonely and helpless. This can lead to regression, aggression, frustration, and behavioural expression and the results is hitting, biting, pushing, etc. Communication basically means transferring information from one person or party to another.

Socialist Media System Model with Chinese Characteristics

By: Zheng Haoyuan (John) （The following are personal opinions）     I think the same objective thing is under the influence of different backgrounds, political positions, and values. It will be presented with different views. This also applies to the Chinese media system. Because the samples analyzed by these three media system models are all Western capitalist countries.       Due to the differences in economic and political systems, I think one of these three models cannot fully summarize the Chinese media system. However, we can still try to analyze the Chinese media system in four main dimensions. First, in terms of the development of the media market: among the TOP 10 most socially valuable media in China in 2019, the central media accounted for six and the commercial media accounted for four. The central media does not have management power over the commercial media, and according to the data it can be concluded that without violating Chinese laws, the...
