How Visual Media Affects People

Tasks for the week

1) Two quizzes on the weekend, "Crazy Relationships" and "How Visual Media Affects People"... this was your choice. :)

2) Read the passage and answer the pending activites from our worksheet. This will be your review for Quiz #4.

3) Last session for oral tests.

Homework

Write a 1.5 page essay about any of these topics:

a) Impact or content? Rating vs quality in program broadcasting

If you were a public broadcaster from Multimedios, would you pay more attention to ratings (even if this will inevitabily entail a lowering of quality) or would you focus on the core business of quality programming (even if this will mean that your audience is likely to become smaller in the short-run)? Explain your reasoning.

b) Do you think of visual media as a mean to enrich people's mind (the transmission of knowledge) or significant risk of attention problems and other disorders? Explain.

c) How could visual media affect unconsciously the mind of people?
