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.

Movies and TV Homework

Hey guys,

We apologize for the delay in posting homework. Next week we will be discussing the effects of movies and television. To prepare, please write one page explaining how a particular movie or television show portrays college life and how accurate (or inaccurate) this portrayal is based on your own college experiences. If you have extra room, you can also discuss to what extent these shows/movies are affected by actual college life, and to what extent actual college life is influenced by these shows/movies. Have fun with this assignment, and see you next week!
