In telecommunication, a communications system is a collection of individual communications networks, transmission systems, relay stations, tributary stations, and dataterminal equipment (DTE) usually capable of interconnection and interoperation to form an integrated whole.
The components of a communications system serve a common purpose, are technically compatible, use common procedures, respond to controls, and operate in unison.
Intercultural and Development Communication is primarily concerned with theory and practice of communication between and among different cultures of the world; with comparisons of different communicationsystems in different cultural, national or ethnic groups; with other aspects of international communication, and with the relationship between communication and national development.
Popular Communication is concerned with providing a forum for scholarly investigation, analysis, and dialogue among communication researchers interested in a wide variety of communication symbols, forms, phenomena and strategic systems of symbols within the context of contemporary popular culture.
Such systems and discourses occur in institutional, community, domestic and intimate contexts, are closely connected to other social and cultural practices (such as nationalism, education or popular entertainment), and play a critical role in the formation and communication of individual and group identity.
