Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Communication Studies

Description:

Students will examine a collection of historical and theoretical documents, all of which contributed to important intellectual and cultural developments in the United States' experiment in democratic self-government, as well as how that political vision is impacted by the modem media industry. Based on these examinations, students will produce public statements of personal ideology and political persuasion supported by valid evidence and rational argument; developing skills in critical thinking, respectful public discourse, and productive policy debate. Students will learn how public discourse becomes a vehicle to forward political agendas, and develop the ability to discern, understand, and ultimately compose public advocacy.
