Communication Drama In Political Discourse

Abstract

There is no doubt that we live in an age where images hold immense power, and that the dominant culture of our time is a culture of images. Indeed, we are surrounded by a deluge of images that are rapidly inundating millions of people, regardless of their cultures, affiliations, or genders. The image has simply become our lived reality; in fact, some scholars and researchers have described it as "a substitute for our lived reality."
