Lengthen, Broaden, and Depth Perception

The title of this posting encompasses what I would like to expand to during this class. The ability to elongate my knowledge in the the history, arguments, and current issues in todays media world. The ability to talk about a wide variety of topics surrounding media society including awareness of relevant blogs, articles, documentaries, publishing. Finally to give depth to myself and my relationship with media and my role as an active aware citizen of media education. 

 "The sea's only gifts are harsh blows, and occasionally the chance to feel strong. Now I don't know much about the sea, but I do know that that's the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head. " Christopher McCandless
