Lessons to be Learned

I have learned from this class about the power of mass media and how much our society focuses their attention on media and how much we rely on it as well. It is a part of our daily life and forever will be. We use media to be entertained but also we use media to be informed about important information and issues in our society.

I also have learned about the business aspect of mass communication and the two ways they thrive in our capitalist society; advertising and direct sales. Advertising is the core of media, by promoting the sale of a product/idea/or program to the people. It is used to express messages that influence us in a powerful way.

Finally, mass media is our way of communicating. It is how messages can be sent to a large population in the matter of one push of a button.
