How we are heard

In Margaret Morse’s “News As Performance: Image As Event” she says that “but to satisfy other needs for the intersubjectivity is the foundation of the sociality and civility most sorely missed…. However, those needs--to be recognized, to communicate, and to remember-belong to people everywhere. It is appropriate to ask how they are or are not being satisfied every day in America society.” Granted, the context of this piece is in regards to refugees, but I still think that it can be applied to our everyday life. How do we satisfy our need to be recognized, to communicate, and to ensure we will be remembered? To be recognized, I think some may use sports, talents, grade, etc. To communicate, there are so many options in our society now: Facebook, cell phones, e-mail, Skype, etc. And to be remembered we use pictures and try to leave some sort of legacy. We each create our own “news” and use our events to image our life and lifestyle.
