My Thoughts on the Course and Blogging

The main reason why I enrolled into this course is because I found myself short three credits and desperately needed to find a class so that I could graduate on time. I’d always heard great reviews about this course so I was excited and most importantly grateful,that I was added in at the last minute. I use the media very daily and I’d vouch that it makes it easier for every individual to be more aware of what’s happening all around the universe. For example news sources like Fox News, ABC 10 and so on are able to create a comment, post, tweet, upload pictures or even links on social media to notify users around the world. Regardless if I missed the news on television, or don’t have access to a TV it is now easily penetrated through our smart devices. Indeed relating to chapter two it mentions people become informed of the events that are going around through media they are able to apply their analysis skills. A personal experience would be while watching the news and hearing about a particular story. In order to gain a better understanding, I will likely break down the main message and find what’s meaningful about the story, followed by sharing with others. Moreover, gaining knowledge about platforms I’m constantly using such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Snap chat attracts my attention. In the process of creating my first blog for this course just increases the number of social media platforms I own. However, it will allow me to apply personal locus, by being driven in the direction towards things I find more interesting or appealing. This strategy will also help format and assist me on the road to finding other individuals who contribute common passions or goals. All and all, I’m excited to educate myself more about topics I enjoy and can relate to in my everyday life.
