Happy Holidays!
Do you believe in Santa Claus? Is he real? This big fat man with white beard carrying a huge red bag is a popular icon of Christmas.People kept Santa Claus in the circulation with their unending stories that revolve around him.
I once believed in Santa Claus and enjoyed his presents under our Christmas tree. As a little girl, the stories from my parents and from other sources created a reality for me. Santa Claus!
I can still remember the day when my parents told me the "truth" about Santa's mysterious identity. It felt like a part of my world was shattered.
Now that I am in college and taking up B.A Communication Arts, I have a clearer view of the picture. Studying Communication Theories can be so much fun and helpful too.
Coordinated Management of Meaning is an amazing and interesting theory. I have learned that we are not aware that we create our social world through our interactions with people. What amazes me so much is the complexities of stories told and stories lived. According to Pearce and Cronen the stories we tell and the stories we live are always tangled together yet forever in tension. This tension is why Pearce and Cronen call their theory management of meaning:we have to adjust our stories told to fit the realities of our stories lived_vice versa. They put the term coordinated in the title because we have to constantly make these adjustments through interactions with others(Griffin).
We are all familiar with Santa Claus and most of us contributed in creating such reality that he exists.
Santa Claus gives all the boys and girls all over the world gifts every Christmas. That is stories told what is lived is this one.The gifts under our Christmas tree that we thought are from Santa are from our parents!
I hate to admit it but Santa Claus is not existing and I believe he never did. The Santa Claus we know is the product of our imagination and our interaction. Can't believe it? Well, believe it!
