Traditional education taught that human economic development progressed from hunting to stock farming and then to agriculture. However, the only real difference is that stock farming is an economic method of obtaining food by domesticating livestock, while agriculture involves domesticating plants. Therefore, this three-stage development theory is no longer accepted. Instead, the development of human civilization can be seen in the evolution of transportation. To understand the nature of how the world changes, we should observe the development of transportation. The increasing speed of movement is the main evidence that society is changing rapidly. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A painting embodies both media and authority. The mural in the medieval cathedral catered to the illiterate, who could not read the Bible. Access to written information was granted solely to priests, representing a form of power. The Reformation diminished this authority. New forms of media transform power dynamics, either generating or redistributing power. This influence shapes our everyday experiences. Writing, photography, and graphics continue to affect power structures. To understand the shifts in power, you must engage in a blend of art and business. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
