The Last Blog: Class Highlights

In JOUR 2 I've learned many things about the wide spectrum of media and its impact on how its shaped our world today. Now I understand the difference between Public Relations and Advertisement to a tee as well as other things. The vision for all things media in my life has been altered, I now can easily discriminate sources of information that once before I couldn't. I can now choose to censor what I see now, because I understand it. For example the concept of Green-Washing and Public Relations methods to make a company seem green is all a mirage. The messages from companies that are trying to sell something can be read more clearly now. Movies and recordings are more appreciated. In fact in this quarter alone I've bought two actual albums in store. Thats two more albums that I've ever bought. This class has helped me hone and define what my major is "mass communications" and has helped me understand the wide spectrum alot more.
