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.

One More Class Left!

Hi everyone,

I hope all of you had a peaceful and restful break!

Tomorrow, we'll be finishing up the group projects and doing course evaluations! We really want to know what you think of this DeCAL!

So far the projects have been great, and we're looking forward to see the other ones left! I hope everyone has been comfortable about scheduling the group presentations, and thanks for your understanding!

See you tomorrow,
Carlton

Final Projects

Hey guys,

Just a reminder that final projects will start next week. In addition to any research you have done, please include personal experiences, opinions and commentary on the various topics you are presenting. Be ready to present this Monday 11/19, and let us know if you need tech help/advice concerning your projects (i.e. powerpoint, running videos off your computer or on the class projector, etc).

We look forward to seeing what you have prepared!

Laura
