Abstract
In the era of globalization, any public security and emergencies may spread to the world and have a serious impact on social development. Only by concentrating their efforts and building an interrelated community with a shared future can all countries improve their capabilities of responding to public crisis. Dewey believed that the key to community building lies in how to choose media to improve the level of human communication and enable them to reach consensus. News media cannot enable human beings to reach a deeper essential level and cultivate their ability to think and judge in response to public affairs; art media provides opportunities for people to improve their participation level, break through the shackles of superficial social interactions, and lead to deeper spiritual exchanges. Dewey and Marx had the same pursuit of spiritual communication and human liberation for all mankind. Dewey hoped that human society could develop into a "great community" with free communication and mutual understanding. Dewey's theoretical logic of using media research to promote community building provides valuable inspiration for the development of human society.
