Mass Communication

When Mr. Miller told my class that this was our next topic that we were going to learn about, I mentally groaned. I thought I knew how communication works, and I really took for granted the amount of impact it has on our lives. Nevertheless, pre lecture me was not looking forward to the class.

I have to admit that the first part of the lecture wasn't very intriguing. Looking back I know why; we were talking about the communication that we were already familiar with. After what seemed like thirty minutes, even though it was ten minutes tops, we were asked the question, “What is Mass Communication.” No one answered. After proving that group communication could reach huge audiences as long as they were present, no one knew what to say that could potentially be a correct answer.

Now, of course, I know. It was that moment though I realized never to believe I knew everything that was going to know everything Mr. Miller is going lecture, because I won't. None of this proves why I found the topic so interesting. The answer is fairly simple.

Mass communication is something we are so used to, yet it's something no one acknowledges. I think that's why I found the lecture so interesting, it was so natural to understand. I love it when that happens, it makes you feel smart, just by being simple. It's fascinating how the way the human mind works for things like this.

To wrap up, I liked this lecture because of its surprising amount of new knowledge, that was simple and intriguing. I’m, as always, ready for what we learn next.
