INTRODUCTION

  1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Communication was traced back to the early days when people devices a means of communicating through pictographic. This process made it easy to communicate through pictures, drawing which they design on the cave walls and keep. It was known as written communication

Around 2000-3000 Bc, the drawing and matching developed to alphabets marking the beginning the recorded history (Bitterm 1999). In 3,500 Bc, the Sumerians device a pictographic writing known as uniform while Egyptians called their hydrographic

Compunction came from the Latin word: communis and communicara and means sharing meeting of minds etc, that means communication is a process which allows messages to flow both ways and results to sharing of the experience. According to “Frank E.K Danica in his article concept of communication.

“to communicate means to share das

information, opinion, feeling and experience

between people”.

Wilbur Schramm pointed out that when people communicate, they are trying to establish a “commonness” with one another .it takes place through a variety of channels called mass media.

Mass media are channels of communication through which people communicate or through which information s disseminated to reach the wide audience .it is classified into “print and electronic media. The print media are books, newspapers, magazine, periodical’s, journals, newsletter or hours organ whose basis is the printed word.

I 1450, Johan Gutenberg of Mainz Germany, invented metal immovable tyre. There was a break through in technology, giving way for art printing in WEuropean age when the Guttrnberg bible was printed followed by newspaper which fist appear n China in AD 500. In Europe ,it came in existence to satisfy the commercial classes who has no interest in books. It circulated among the employees as hand written newsletters.

The first daily newspaper which appeared in England was “Daily Courant” from their   it yet to Niagara in Abeokuta through am Aglica revered, Henry Townsend in1850. The name of the newspaper was a “IWE IROHIN FUN AEWON ARA AGBA ATI YOURBA. This means newspaper for the Egbes and the Yourbas.

The electronic media rely on electric impulses to get their messages to the audience. They are radio, television, telex, cinema and a cable message. In 19th century the principle of “motion pictures was discovered. The 1824 discovery precludes that human eye retains an image for a fraction of a second longer than the picture actually appears. In 20th century, the motion picture, that is the ability to capture moving visual images with the camera through the use of films. Bittner 1989, discovered that electro-magnetic impulses can be sent through without the wire carrying voice transmission over long distance and is known as Radio. Television was traced through ICONOSCOPE, which come into existence in 1923. It used electronics to detect and transmit pictures and it’s Invention transformed television to an electronic medium which before depended on mechanical production of visual images.

Radio is a means of formalism education, culture and entertainment. Most African countries are conglomerates of units of divergent cultures, religion, injustice and socio-political enslavep to wield these multi-ethnic units together  and create a sense of nationness the election is the best instrument because of its ability to for stall the illiteracy and language barrier. It was the initiation of though colonialists to link the colonial territories with Britain so that radio would serve as propaganda machinery. It was also a tool for disseminating their  allies  cultural norms, values and philosophies to the colonies.

In Nigeria, radio reception dares back to the early 19302.it started as wireless bells mentoring and relaying programme for the British broadcasting corporation (BBC) for the interest of her colonial servant in the colonies. by 1951, the Nigeria broadcasting service (NBS) was formally inaugurated as a rely station working closely with BBC. While the first television station was established in 1959 in Western region.

 

  1. STATEMENT OF THE RESEARCH PROBLEM

In the cause of appraising the effect of the media on cultural imperialism in modern society, culture is said to be the state of being cultivated, refinement, the result of cultivation and the type of civilization is is a term used by social scientist and humanistic scholars that also have wide popular currency. Non technical meaning of the term centered around the concept of an educated, sophisticated person as a” cultural” individual: that is a man who has culture and political and who is familiar with the finer things produced in colonized life. Ruth  Benedict 1930, discussed culture as a pattern of thinking and doing that runs through activities of a people and distinguishes than from to  the people.

In later years, culture became a term used to discribe the distinctive human mode  of adapting to the environment molding nature to conform to man’s desire and goals. According to Sir Edward Tylor (1871:16).

          Culture is that complex whole which

any nay other capability and habits acquired by man as a member of the society.

This definition can be explained more  lucidly as everything which is socially learned, as herds by members of the society and transmitted from one generation to another. It I socially created and as well a social heritage through interaction may modify the culture which then became part of the heritage of the succeeding generations. It is  pertinent to note that the is no society without culture.

Yet there is need to examine imperialism in relation to culture. The word ‘imperialism as defined by Encyclopedia is the government of one people by other people. The governing country  is called mother of the metropolitan country or countries that make up the empire of the mother country.

In this research work we would consider how the media was able to play on major role to inculcate foreign ways of life in our society using Enugu metropolises as a case study.

 

  1. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

That project is designed to identify the media function in the Nigeria society trace its history and contributions to the development of the society.

It is also meant to identify the extent of media involvement in grassroots development of smaller social groups (tertiary institutions) in he Nigeria context. In realization of the grass root development of the culture in our modern society it is of adequate importance  to note and expose such social institution and its activities through the news media organ.

The independence of culture and communication is very pronounced particularly if eh term “culture” is used to mean if eh entire achievement of human creativity. All that man has added to nature and their relevance of human like and ways founder standing.

To this end, communication both between individual and nations are major component of al ways of life and thus of every culture. The role communication  may be regard as that of major carrier of culture.

The media of communication are thus cultural instrument which serve to promote or influence attitude to motivate to foster the spread of behavoural patterns and to bring about social integrations”.

In a heterogeneous and fractions society such as Nigeria imperialism of culture abounds, hence some foreign cultures embodied in our society has brought refinement and intellectual development to modern society. Under this situation, all contends of the act of rebuilding the society are geared towards supporting certain values belief and practice of our colonial masters.

In addition, this study will contribute to the activities of the media in propagating new way of life in our present society using a particular social set- up (Holy- Ghost church Enugu), for sampling

 

 

  1. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This research work is focused on how the media have played a vital role in brining up a modern society. A society which has lost belief in its capacity to progress in the future will quickly cease to concern itself with the progress, O’ retrogress in the past Nigeria can acquire certain knowledge for technical innovation or invention though learning.

However, it is important to study the way some of our cultures were been replaced by colonial matters thereby, enabling development in every aspect of human endeavour. There is need to consider the benefits derived from this innovation and consequence of embracing  this new way if life in our social institution will modify the existing cultural behaviour in our society.

 

  1. RESEARCH QUESTIONS

There is need to consider the research question arising from this research work to enable us arrive at a solution to our problem.

  1. How was the media able to inculcate foreign cultural norms to bring up the standard of living in the society.
  2. Do mass media play a vital role in development of every aspect of human endavour in the society.
  3. Are these new cultures beneficial to the social institution especially to tertiary institutions?
  4. If he media have succeeded to propagate colonial cultural norms in the society and how was it able to achieve that?
  5. Did if become easier and worth living as a result of civilization which helps to rebuild our social system in the society through the mass media.
  6. Are there other medium for cultural imperialism apart from print and electronic media in the society
