We will examine the role that bias and perception play in our interpretation of media and the influence this can have on choices we make throughout our lives. We will examine our own perceptions as well as media perceptions and learn how we are influenced and how we can influence others. We will examine specific rhetorical appeals ( pathos, logos, ethos) and how they are used throughout our lives to influence our choices and how we can use them to improve our own writing and speech. We will evaluate all types of media , including internet and websites, to learn to choose those that are reputable and fact based when doing research.Additional Information
