The one concept that I feel can use further discussion is
the chapter on mass media. Although the discussion questions for this chapter
were really good, I think that it would have been more fun to get more creative
with them. We could have talked more about how legitimate popular websites are
such as Yahoo where I always find “articles” with a lot of grammatical or
spelling errors. Where do they get their news? Why don’t they proofread their
work? It’s just interesting to see if such websites are trustworthy because
they have definitely taken over as major sources of news. It would have been
kind of cool to have “reviewed” like a website or an article to see if it had
any fallacies or lack of credibility. I think this topic of mass media is very
relatable to us, being in the information age and always exposed to the media
wherever we are.
