Communication 248 - Media and Multiculturalism UD

Institution:

Hiram College

Subject:

Description:

In a world pervaded by communications technologies, many of our perceptions about current affairs, others, and social realities are based on the type of information provided to us by the media. One result of this situation is that we witness the rise of different trends of in and out of group consciousness. For the first time in the history of humankind, groups and individuals began to see themselves from outside as well as from inside. While many social groups have started to take a renewed pride in their social identity, other social groups exercised a feeling of guilt about past history, some took advanced steps in their pursuit for full equality. This course will initiate a critical exploration of representations and misrepresentations in the media of women, African-American, native-American, Hispanics, and other traditionally under represented groups.
