MASS 221 INTRODUCTION TO MASS MEDIA.
While the continents are drifting slowly and silently apart on their floating
tectonic plates, mass media are noisily and rapidly bringing them
back together again electronically, resulting in the disruptions of cultures,
economies and diplomacies. In this course, we will study the
history and consequences of mass media’s shrinking world, a world
where satellite broadcast technology is making it possible to import
culturally enlightening foreign media directly into the American living
room while at the same time providing the means for one small
voice in a distant land to hold our whole nation hostage. We will look
at how mass media has already affected each of us individually and
why we as citizens need to become better informed and better prepared
to deal with such issues as media imperialism and electronic
colonialism in the emerging new world order. Competency: Writing.
Prerequisite: Writing Level 1. Offered every year.
