About the Course:
The purpose of this decal is to inform and educate students about the media’s desensitizing effects on their views of men, women, children, sex and violence. By examining media content and different forms of media, ranging from advertisements, TV, magazines, movies, music and video games, we will examine how the media manipulates and distorts our attitudes, emotions and values. We will view Disney movies, online video games like Doom, and popular advertisements and magazines to build this case. Each week a visual element will facilitate discussion and educate students about how to deal with the media’s covert attempt to win consumers for life by using explicit and implicit messages that attempt to shape societal values.How to Enroll:
