Critical Perspectives in Communication | Mr. Benjamin George Meamo III

In this 20-minute video resource, Mr. Benjamin George Meamo III, communication instructor from the University of the Philippines Baguio, tackles the ever-changing landscape of communication throughout history: from the default application of orality within a society, the early stages of literacy and its collaborative mechanism to garner communication.  Meamo III dissects human communication by correlating the concepts of orality and literacy. Moreover, he explores the significant attachment of the aforementioned concepts through applications by Marshall McLuhan and Walter Ong. Meamo III ends the discussion by emphasizing that mediums of communication can hastily change, that another epoch might develop; and that for a person to critically observe communication is to attain knowledge of its beginnings to what it is now.
