When watching the Terry Dugan videos, I actually learned some new things and there were things that I remember learning in previous classes. This past Spring semester in my Organizational Communication class, we actually went over the 8 elements of the communication process. One thing that I am glad that was covered in these videos…
“It is important that we find out how young people interpret sexual images in advertising, music, and television in their context, and in their own words. If we are so concerned about teen sexuality, we need to talk with them, not just about them, to learn more” (Sternheimer, 2013, p.153). This is a very powerful…
n the serious of videos watched by Dugan, what I thought was worth remembering was in general at the very beginning was about culture. As a sociology student, culture is something that we covered in every class in one way or another; culture is a huge aspect of sociology. I thought it was interesting how…
I first watched all the Dugan videos and learned a lot of information; maybe a little too much at one time. I felt bombarded with information and felt as if i couldn’t retain it. In the first video, I learned that we learned our culture and that we were not born with it. I found…
Rather than read various articles for this week’s module, we were given a video series/lecture by Terry Dugan regarding the Impact of Media of Culture (2010-2011).

This week there was some solidification of skills previously learned, while I was also introduced to…
This week only just begun and it already feels like it’s about to end! Starting on Wednesday definitely threw me off my game this week but thankfully there isn’t as much material to cover. After reading the Sternheimer text this week, I feel different. Chapter 6 concentrated on sexualized images and reality. One of the…
Being that this is a Blog and that we are supposed to voice our opinions as well as finding facts, I wanted to start my blog with an opinion some may find controversial. Children’s Defense Fund (2015) says, “A child of color, who will be in the majority of U.S. children in 2020, is more…
Before these readings I had never thought about how valuable society’s attention can be to media or when discussed by Goldhaber, he would call it “the money industry economy.” Due to the overwhelming about of information that our society gets easily lost in, attention from society is crucial in regards to media. Specifically, throughout Lankshear…
When I started this week’s readings, I noticed “Attention” was the theme. I did not know what to expect with the readings from this week. This week’s readings and YouTube videos, like my other classmates, struck a chord with me. They were powerful and left the audience thinking about the issues that came up with them.…
