Intro to POL
I think the introduction to this book was very interesting. I want to read it and I know I will get so much out of it. I am especially interested in Chapter 6. I took a course last year, Faith and Values in the Media, a religion course (I went to a Catholic high school) and it was really interesting. It wasn't even religious..but whatever...anyways it talked about what goes on in the media (on t.v., in magazines, newspapers, books, on the radio)and why companies portray things the way they do, how they go about it, what it does to human beings, how it effects people and the world around us, and how the world is changing and tells us that we need to take a step back and look at whats going on, and such. It was an interesting class and made my eyes open up to a see something that I've never seen before, but yet its been around me for so long, and I think this book will explain more about how things work in the visual media. I'm excited.
