I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with this class, it has truly be one of the most interesting classes I've had at DeAnza. Though before I took this class I considered myself quite knowledgeable when it came to aspects of media, I definitely learned so much more and increased my Media Literacy. A big aha moment was realizing how much of the media is manipulated either to gain my trust as a consumer and push me to purchase their items or how news reports are sometimes untrustworthy.
Considering the first amendment, I feel that I have cultivated a much better understanding as to what it entails and what it truly means. I feel as though I am much more aware of my surroundings and able to better assess the world of media around me.
I agree. I feel like as citizens and consumers we need to be more alert than ever, but many forces dissuade us from really analyzing what's going on around us.
