Hello reader :) This blog is a response to the thinking activity given by Dr. Dilip Barad on Cultural Studies.
In this blog I am answering three questions in reference to cultural studies and Noam Chomsky.
Avram Noam Chomsky (born December 7, 1928) is an American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historical essayist,social critic, and political activist. Sometimes called "the father of modern linguistics", Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He is a Laureate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Arizona and an Institute Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and is the author of more than 150 books on topics such as linguistics, war, politics, and mass media. Ideologically, he aligns with anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian socialism.
Power in Cultural studies
Paul-Michel Foucault (15 October 1926 – 25 June 1984) was a French philosopher, historian of ideas, writer, political activist, and literary critic. Foucault's theories primarily address the relationship between power and knowledge, and how they are used as a form of social control through societal institutions. Though often cited as a structuralist and postmodernist, Foucault rejected these labels. His thought has influenced academics, especially those working in communication studies, anthropology, psychology, sociology, criminology, cultural studies, literary theory, feminism, Marxism and critical theory.
Michael Foucault Knowledge and power
In sociology, power-knowledge is a term introduced by the French philosopher Michel Foucault (French: le savoir-pouvoir). According to Foucault's understanding, power is based on knowledge and makes use of knowledge; on the other hand, power reproduces knowledge by shaping it in accordance with its anonymous intentions. Power (re-) creates its own fields of exercise through knowledge.
The relationship between power and knowledge has always been a central theme in social sciences.

In video one reporter,
This is Democracy's Diany. Here for our. instruction our triumphs and disasters the Pattern of life's changing fabrice. there is great Journalism a revelation Of the Past a guide to the present and a clue to the future.
"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past".
(1984 George Orwell Novel)
This quote is from Novel which we studies last year last two lines of reporter sounds similar like that.
The media making money from advenstiens they sell good product, a product which raises advertising rates, and ask you Friends in the advertising industry that means that they want to adjust their audience to the more elite and effluent audience, that raise advertising rates.
Power controlling Media and they make any thing and people are believe on that thay make situation and language around matters which people and even educated blindly believe language of reporter and vital things around advertising products decorat like public need making advertising with sentiment like soldiers, religion and thinks the use in that for them TRP and money is important.
Who can considered as ' Truly Educated'
According to Noam Chomsky Modern higher education, development required filled human beings is the ability to inquire and create constructively independently without external controls to move to a modern counterpart a leading Physicists talk night What we cover in the class It's important what you discover but to be truly educated from this point of view. how to form Formulate serious question a standard doctrine if it if that's appropriate to Find your way to shape the question that are worth prissuing and to develop the path to Pursuing them that means knowing understanding many things more important than what you have stored in your mind to know where to look how to question how to challenge how to Proceed Independently to dealt with the challenges that the world presents to you and that you develop in the course of your self educahon.
Truly Educated is how to question the things around you specialy corporate world and best thing which I like asked by Noam Chomsky what we cover in the class is not important but what we discover in the class and not important what you have stored in you mind but there are other things which most important how to shape your questions and how to deal with challenges not blindly believe which they tell you first inquiry and examine and if you have satisfied then believe of any events.
