Media Capital: A Critique

The media capital is a new cultural analysis concept proposed by Curtin (2003). In lieu of conventional analysis of media and, for that matter, cultural patterns based on national boundaries, media capital is used.

This explains the fact why individuals cannot have expertise in all aspects or functions that the organization is involved in. Thus, expertise is differentiated along the various departments that the ...

Vygotsky and Piaget’s theories emphasize the interaction between nurture and nature in learning and development. Piaget believed that children were moulded by their interaction with the environment, ...

Sustainability itself (as a strategic concept originated in the Brundtland report in the year 1987) means a degree of growth which can be retained without creating other substantial economic or environmental problems for future generations. In other words, it is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future ...
