This essay was submitted for “The Lure of Beauty” writing seminar, in response to ‘what is beautiful’.
Namaste, and welcome back to discomfort. What a return. This was India, the country considered by travel guides (and my Dalai Lama-loving, sixth-grade social studies teacher), to be the most beautiful on Earth. Yet, my past four visits found those opinions to be subjective. Each of my consecutive arrivals didn’t reinforce the raves, but rather, a culminating disspassion. The incessant noise, the noxious odors, and the overbearing climate…? I had hated them all before. Beauty is relative, they say, and, as far as India was concerned, it bore no relation to me.
Essay Submitted for “ Journalism and Society: Cultural Contexts and African Media” course.
Economy is defined in the sense of a financial system: “the production and consumption of goods and services of a community regarded as a whole.” (The wholeness/geographic expanse of such a community is debatable and reflexive, but for now, it will be loose and theoretical.) This production and consumption, as it refers to the media houses, can relate to the demand for information that audiences of the society seek. This can range from radio services, public relation press releases, news agencies, or entertainment venues.
