…we have school classes that are mandatory for every one, which teach you how media manipulates you into believing these values.
That is nothing short of amazing! I couldn’t imagine our schools even considering a media manipulation class, much less a mandatory one.
Our culture is so saturated with manipulation from the media that it has become the dominate force in educating our youth concerning values. It really isn’t their fault though. I blame parental delinquency, but I wish schools would take a stronger initiative.
My hat’s off to Finland.
