The Butterfly Effect: How Small Changes in Media Consumption Can Radically Alter Our Worldview and Our World

Mass media consumption has a predictable, calculable impact on a
significant portion of the population. Knowing its potential
pitfalls should propel us to small changes (or perhaps sweeping
ones) in our mass media consumption. In this final episode of the
Media Literacy season, Dr. Dunne reminds us of the individual and
collective impact of media on our sense of self, our identity
formation, giving us the clarity we need to live free from the
manipulation of a culture that is constantly cocooned by media.
Discover some practical tools for those in your realm of
influence as you learn the secrets of monitoring media intake and
filtering false content. Cultures do not improve with inertia. It
takes the sustained and collective efforts of courageous men and
women to direct the course of history. May we all have the
boldness we need to step out and speak up for the sake of the
next generation. Our identities, and theirs, may depend on
it.
