It's funny because I wasn't sure what to expect when I enrolled in this class. I had no idea that journalism encompassed so much, even though I've made it my major. Honestly, my only intention on adding this class was because it counted towards my major. I had no expectations of actually enjoying, understanding, and applying the curriculum. However, I am pleasantly surprised. I've learned so much about the media, how it operates, what it entails, and who it all involves. There's so many aspects that go into media and it's grown my interest in journalism to the point where I feel like I might actually consider becoming a journalist, which I always said I would NEVER do. I learned that journalism is based a lot more on opinion than facts, leaving a lot of room for healthy debate which I thoroughly enjoyed doing in this class. My favorite aspect of taking this class was being able to debate and share opinions with others because it not only allowed me to express my own view points, but expanded my mind to consider other peoples opinions as well. In regards to the first amendment, I actually learned a lot because truth be told, I didn't know much about it to begin with. I didn't know that there were so many different levels and aspects of the first amendment, and a lot of technicalities that go along with it.
Here's a link to a video that speaks on the first amendment in a humorous way, touching on the many contradictions and hypocrisies of the amendment.
