Purpose

The purpose of this DeCAL is to inform and educate students about the media’s desensitizing effects on their views of men, women, children, sex and violence. By examining media content and different forms of media, ranging from advertisements, TV, magazines, movies, music and video games, we will examine how the media manipulates and distorts our attitudes, emotions and values.

What a great semester!

Dear Media Decal Class of Spring 2009,

Can't believe we had our last decal session today! It's been a fun and challenging semester and we've learned so much! Seeing all of your presentations was so awesome because they represented taking all our knowledge about media's harmful effects and actually doing something with it. I hope that can be your experience time and time again as we continue to be bombarded by the media.

We've really enjoyed getting to know you all through our discussions and dinners this semester and we sincerely hope to continue these relationships (and ot just on facebook -___-). So good luck on your finals and remember, don't be a stranger--ya'll are welcome to drop by the decal or join us for dinner next semester...just send us an email to find where we're meeting!

- Josh, Stephany, Gina and Calvin
