Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft Human

Once upon a time, there was a young European man, whose name was John Murky. He was 30 years old, living in a small village during the 19th century, somewhere in England. He was a farmer, quite the way his fathers were. He was also married to a fairy beautiful woman, whose name was Karla, and fathered a son, Peter.
John used to busy his whole day on the field while Karla managed the kitchen and the house. She was carrying another baby of their love. Peter, 8 years old was the master of chickens and cows, and his haven was among the sheep and goats at their stable or on the field.
It was summer and farmers were harvesting the wheat. John was a farmer. He used to return home after a day of hard labor on the field, which his father left him after he passed away.
The daily doings of a farmer, a housewife and a village boy were all they could busy themselves with. No TV, radio, papers, books, internet, bikes, roller skates, beauty parlors, fashion shows, etc. They just used to spend their Sundays in church and then among their family friends. Peter was good at missionary school. The priest could influence them.
The neighbors were quite busy like all other humans of the green earth. They were at the distance of a garden, wheat or cornfield from each other. So they could see each other, and feel the meaning of a happy family. They were simple in their politics and the personal relations gave meaning to their close distance with the neighbors. Though, they were happy with their neighbors as well. The entire village knew each other and the public sphere was small and friendly.
200 years later, John's grandsons and daughters had their own grandsons and granddaughters fully grown up, well educated, living in towers and flats on the crowded streets of London. The 21st century John was one of these new generations. He had the face of his grand grandfather. He was hard working and busy in his job and studies. He had a car and his habits were watching BBC and reading The Sun. He used to spend his nights in bars and among the friends. Late at night he used to come home with his fairy beautiful partner, Klara. No marriage was better in their philosophy of life. They had agreed to share bed and flat but not their freedom. John used to work on Sundays also. He was 30 years old. He believed in Lord, almighty and the Christ. He tried to respect other faiths, but he was not a practical Protestant. His friends are made on the virtual net. They just used to pop us by the by. Though, they shared their beliefs and good thoughts among friends or on their blogs. John's neighbor had a son. His name was Peter. He was quite busy and attracted to the Playstation. John could hear the noise of the Playstation of Peter every night. Peter didn't know how to make friends with chickens and goats. He was the master of Batman and Spiderman.
Our then and present Johns are of the same blood, but they are different, because the first one lived in a Gemeinschaft era and the modern one lives in a Gesellschaft.
Dear reader, I can't vote for any of them because I love to live in between and have some cultural tips from both. You can better decide which way brings you happiness and prosperity.

Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft
Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft are two terms in studying the type of people the media concentrates on; the first one is translated as "community" while the latter as "society-associated". As I have understood, these terms reveal the difference between two stages of communications. Where, people used to live in small groups under the name of family and tribe on the larger scale. The economy in Gemeinschaft era was based on agriculture and political life was completely self-oriented. The personal relations clarified the extent of public participation. One can imagine how a village life was, I think.
On the other hand, as the economy grew and people got richer than before, both in population and wealth, they tried to develop their sphere of activities and their social lives. The industrial and social Renaissance reshuffled the beliefs and the style of living everywhere, no matter what pace it took to reach to the borders of the nations. As I have realized the western countries were privileged to be the first nations to embrace the change. The transfer between Gemeinschaft to Gesellschaft stage brought lots of positive changes to the western human and left the same human in oriental countries untouched!

Man is double

"Man is double. There are two beings in him: an individual being which has its foundation in the organism and the circle of whose activities is therefore strictly limited, and a social being which represents the highest reality in the intellectual and moral order that we can know by observation---I mean society. This duality of our nature has as its consequence in the practical order, the irreducibility of a moral ideal to a utilitarian motive, and in the order of thought, the irreducibility of reason to individual experience. In so far as he belongs to society, the individual transcends himself, both when he thinks and when he acts." - Emile Durkheim.

essential terms used in daily outputs of the newspapers

So far, I used to publish my own diaries but it seems the time to change. However, it's hard to break the ice and start a new series of writings on the net; but as I love journalism thanks to its revealing the truth behind the mask of terms and tactics crafted by the politicians and businessmen, I would try to share with you what I understand in this regard. My posts might be every week or every other week. Therefore I apologize before I ever fail to keep the uploading pace going.
For the time being, seems good if we become acquainted with some essential terms used in daily outputs of the newspapers, websites, blogs and other forms of journalism, and then we go to other approaches and theories applied in this field.
Here we start with 10 essential terms Every Journalist Should Know:
1. Lead:
The first sentence of a hard-news story; a brief summary of the story’s main point
2. Inverted Pyramid:
The model used to describe how a news story is structured. It means the heaviest or most important news goes at the top of the story, and the lightest, or least important, goes at the bottom.
3. Copy:
The content of a news article
4. Beat:
Area assigned to a reporter for regular coverage, such as politicians, courts or banks, etc
5. Byline:
The name of a news story's author usually put at the start of the article.
The byline on a newspaper or magazine article gives the name, and often the position, of the writer of the article. Bylines are traditionally placed between the headline and the text of the article, although some magazines (notably Reader's Digest) place bylines at the bottom of the page, to leave more room for graphical elements around the headline.
A typical newspaper byline might read:
John Smith
Staff writer
A byline can also include a brief article summary, introducing the writer by name.
Penning a concise description of a long piece has never been as easy as often appears, as Staffwriter John Smith, now explains:
Magazine bylines, and bylines on opinion pieces, often include biographical information on their subjects. A typical biographical byline on a piece of creative nonfiction might read
John Smith is working on a book, My Time in Ibiza, based on this article. He is returning to the region this summer to gather material for a follow-up essay.
Most modern newspapers and magazines attribute their articles to individual editors, or to wire services. An exception is the British weekly The Economist, which publishes nearly all material anonymously.
6. Dateline:
The city or town, from which a news story originates, or the date of the news usually placed at the start of the story. A dateline is a brief piece of text included in news articles that describes where and when the story occurred, or was written or filed, though the date is often omitted. In the case of articles reprinted from wire services, the distributing organization is also included (though the originating one is not). Datelines are traditionally placed on the first line of the text of the article, before the first sentence. Datelines are not an extremely important component of any paper, but they are usually used if the news isn't local.
The location appears first, usually starting with the city in which the reporter has written or dispatched the report. City names are usually printed in uppercase, though this can vary from one publication to another. The political division and/or nation the city is in may follow, but they may be dropped if the city name is widely recognizable due to its size or political importance (a national capital, for instance). The date of the report comes after, followed by an em dash surrounded by spaces, and then the article.
A typical newspaper dateline might read
BEIRUT, Lebanon, June 2 — the outlook was uncertain today as...
The same story if pulled from the Associated Press (AP) wire might appear as
BEIRUT (AP) — the outlook was uncertain today as...
Datelines can take on some unusual forms. When reporters collaborate on a story, two different locations might be listed. In other cases, the exact location may be unknown or intentionally imprecise, such as when covering military operations while on a ship at sea or following an invasion force.
Other media
The concept of a dateline has been adapted to television. Reporters on news programs might have their location mentioned in an introduction from the news anchor ("Here now from Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, is reporter Nigel Obediah Culpepper"). A field reporter might also end their stories by combining the location from where they filed their report with a "lockout" (the last thing a reporter says in their report, includes their name and station ID) especially if the segment is recorded and not live. (For example, the last bit of a report could sound like "... prompting an investigation into the matter. Richard Hansen, NBC News, London.")
7. Source:
Anyone you interview for a news story
8. Anonymous Source:
A source who does not want to be identified in a news story
9. Attribute:
To tell readers where the information in a news story comes from
10. Morgue:
A newspaper’s library of clippings of old articles
If you read the above, you would find the text both amazing and confusing, because, we never used to look at the news taken apart. Sure, it needs tactics to write professionally, so that the readers get the main point of the news.

by Walt Whitman

A child said, What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands;

How could I answer the child?. . . .I do not know what it is any more than he.

I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful green stuff woven.

Or I guess it is the handkerchief of the Lord,

A scented gift and remembrancer designedly dropped,Bearing the owner's name someway in the corners, that we may see and remark, and say Whose?....

Warm Summer Sun

Warm Summer Sun
by Mark Twain


Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

And You Thought You Were the Only One

And You Thought You Were the Only One
by Mark Bibbins


Someone waits at my door. Because he is
dead he has time but I have my secrets--

this is what separates us from the dead.
See, I could order take-out or climb down

the fire escape, so it's not as though he
is keeping me from anything I need.

While this may sound like something I made up,
it is not; I have forgotten how to

lie, despite all my capable teachers.
Lies are, in this way, I think, like music

and all is the same without them as with.
The fluid sky retains regret, then bursts.

He is still there, standing in the hall, insisting
he is someone I once knew and wanted,

come laden with gifts he cannot return.
If I open the door he'll flash and fade

like heat lightning behind a bank of clouds
one summer night at the edge of the world.

After the Dazzle of Day

After the Dazzle of Day

After the dazzle of day is gone

Only the dark night shows to my eyes the stars;

After the clangor of organ majestic or chorus or perfect band

Silent athwart my soul moves the symphony true.
WALT WHITMAN.
