Document Summary

The early art of memory was systematic and teachable, and its value was demonstrated by the commitment of a speaker to learn, practice, and cultivate it. As technology advanced, we gained devices that helped us remember things (i. e. the printing press or the teleprompter) Memory is not simply a mental operation uses or that he/she can refine and improve; rather, memory is a phenomenon of community hence the notion of collective memory. Memory may be lodged in ethnic groups, families, nation-states, etc. This collectivized understanding of memory goes by a number of monikers: public memory, cultural memory, and social memory. Representation is at the heart of how groups of people remember. The capacity for some material supports to preserve our communicative messages. The deliberate attempt to shape collective memory by means of particular kinds of communicative messages. Communication is an idea that is linked to a series of concepts.
