Institution:

Merrimack College

Subject:

Description:

The media occupy a central place in contemporary life. This seminar will explore the role of media from various perspectives. We will grapple with several basic questions: What exactly are the media? Who uses the media? Who controls the media? To what extent do the media shape who we are and how we see ourselves? Do the media reflect our sociocultural reality or do they create it? In the process of considering these questions, we will become critical observers of the media and develop a better understanding of the role the media play in our daily lives.
