The textbooks were ordered on Wednesday night, but at this point it looks like they’re not going to get here until the day after the next class.\u00a0 This actually sucks, because I wanted to get looking at the material right away.\u00a0 I guess at this point I’m going to have to wing it through the first lecture.\u00a0 They may very well get here prior to the first day of class, but I strongly doubt it as Monday is a Federal holiday.<\/p>\n

Of course, the central question today is how I am being affected by all the media that comes at me in the world today, both in ways that I know and don’t know.\u00a0 I have to admit that I found the second part of the question to be one of those frustrating “Is he freaking serious?” type of questions.\u00a0 It still is one of those questions, and it’s not one I think I can answer in a single journal entry.\u00a0 It appears as if Dr. Jacobs is really going to make us think through this course.<\/p>\n

That degree of difficulty regarding the second part of the question does nothing to make answering the first part any easier.\u00a0 Self-evaluation sometimes kinda sucks.<\/p>\n

As much as we like to think of ourselves as independent thinkers, the constant media barrage has a significant effect on our lives.\u00a0 All of the media to which we are exposed is processed in our minds; that is not something that can be avoided.\u00a0 The end result is determined by how we classify those pieces of media in our minds.<\/p>\n

The constant barrage has definitely made me more tolerant of certain subject matters than I would have been in the past.\u00a0 I won’t go into specifics, but my attitudes towards certain things have changed since I was a kid in the middle and late 1980’s, in no small part due to media becoming saturated with a given subject.<\/p>\n

I realize that this entry is nowhere near as detailed as it could be.\u00a0 This is going to take some more organization of thought as right now they are all swirling in my head.\u00a0 At this point you can be sure that there are ways that I am affected of which I am aware, but as the thought process for this entry progresses, the swirl of ideas grows larger and much more difficult to contain.\u00a0 Expect more on this subject in future journal entries.\u00a0 Seriously, my grade depends on this one.<\/p>\n

My exposure to media has allowed me to proceed with this project as a thumb in the eye to self-righteous behavior on Facebook.<\/p><\/div>\n
