Communication and Pop Culture.

Catalog description

Students examine how popular culture shapes communication, individual identity, and social influence. They analyze messages in music, television, film, advertising, and celebrity culture to explore how media reflects, and shapes social norms and cultural values. Popular culture offers meaningful ways to engage with complex topics through familiar characters and storylines, encouraging dialog and reflection. Students apply communication theory to build skills in media literacy, cultural awareness, and interpersonal communication skills across personal and professional contexts.
