This syllabus is designed <strong>for</strong> the Bachelor’s degree level. In a syllabus <strong>for</strong> the<br />

Master’s degree, I would focus more on important debates regarding media and<br />

society, such as causality in the relationship media society, and the role of media in<br />

the democratization process.<br />
