class highlights

After taking this class, I view  the first amendment in a different way. At first I was a bit ignorant as to how much we can use the first amendment as one of our rights.

I now know that we are protected from the government for our first amendment but not corporate companies.

I view the media as another tool for our society to be kept under somewhat a hegemonic control. From this class I intake different perceptions of what the messages the media put out for people. It's made me realize some of the effects the media has on my own personal lifestyle.
