Convergence

Convergence is the movement of content across different media platforms. The “Bert is Evil” demonstrated convergence by the way the image circulated and became an international controversy. Not only was an image of a character of an old television show appropriated, but became part of a series. Bert’s image…

In this essay I will be deliberating my personal response on the three texts: A Night to Remember by Walter Lord, Every Man for Himself by Beryl Bainbridge, and The Convergence of the Twain by Thomas Hardy. These texts convey the story of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, but altogether they are completely different types of writing. Walter lord’s text is a factual account, while Beryl Bainbridge’s book is a historical fiction novel, and Thomas hardy’s is a poem. All of these texts refer to…

Convergence is conjoining and merging together something that was separated in the past (Gasher et al. 2012). Now days, most things are intertwined with one another. An example of this is music on a cell phone. Prior to technology today, music was on a completely different device. For instance, an iPhone contains the application iTunes; in turn, downloading music has become easily accessible. This depletes the demand of iPods or MP3 players. Convergence is imperative with the…

the application is under development. Conversely, when it is developed for external use then the software is capitalized when the software becomes readily available (Deloitte 2008). The similarities between IFRS and GAAP are helpful in aiding the convergence between the two methodologies. However, even with these agreements accounting for intangible assets should still be handled responsibly. In a report from the U.K. it asserted that the accounting methods for intellectual property are being…

Convergence and divergence are known as two approximation strategies within the CAT theory. The convergence method being where someone tries the communication profiles of people around them in order to fit in, it has been proposed by (Giles and Poland 1975) that convergence is a default process for humans. Compared to divergence being the contradiction of this theory where the person consciously…

From both the article and the textbook, some of the unique qualities of humans are its bipedalism, large brain, complex language, and the ability to forge tools. Of all the traits listed above, bipedalism is one of the most vital. Not only was it essential for the survival and expansion of our species, but according to Darwin it is considered a key force for human evolution. (Ironically enough, one of the major health problems that people face today is living a sedentary life style.) Before we…

Coupland (1991) refined speech accommodation theory (Giles, Mulac, Bradac, & Johnson 1987) to better understand our adaptations during interpersonal communication. The major components of communication accommodation theory are convergence and divergence. While convergence is the adjustment of our speech to match the other party, divergence is the altering of speech to differ from the group. People may converge in attempt to blend in and join the in-group. However, if they do not want to be…
