Cultural Diary Task (Week 2) ‘Sweetness and Light’


According to Matthew Arnold "Sweetness and Light" is the oout come of good culture and almost every culture struggles for it. According to him "Sweetness and Light" is one of the most importanct aspect of for human perfection.

I have selected Discovery Channel as a media text that offers us ‘sweetness and light’, because of its outstadning effort of providing the best documentary programming focused primarily on popular science, technology, and history.
According to Matthew Arnold "Sweetness and Light" is the perfect mixture of beauty and intelligence.
Discovery Channel is a media text that talks about intelligence and try to show all sceintific facts that are the result of the beautiful tecknologies that are around us.
As I have serached for some positve approch of the channel I have found this statement that
“More recently, Discovery Channel supported an expedition to collect data from the Indian Ocean seafloor to create models that can better predict tsunamis.”

The news services of Discovery Channel in its website “news.discovery.com” is aslo very effective which shows more sceintific aspects of the news around the globe.
