Purpose

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.

Barbie Article

Hey guys,

Here is a link to the article I was telling you about during class last week. The author discusses the fears her mother had about her playing with Barbie, and the concerns the author has about similar influences on her daughter. The link also has information about the audio clip we listened to in class.

See you tomorrow as we discuss New Media!
