LAS 436 - Selfies and Sharing: Balancing Individuality and Community 3 Credit Hours
We live in a highly individualized society, made more so by the digital applications and social media with which we engage on a daily basis. This course seeks to understand how best to balance a sense of individuality with a commitment to community by exploring what it means to express and embrace one’s own identity while also engaging with a larger group, be it our friends, family, colleagues, classmates, or any other group to which we belong. How do we determine how our self-expression impacts those around us? What do we identify as good or ethical and how do we identify and respond to what is bad or unethical in a digital world saturated with opinion and commentary? The aim is to acknowledge how we recognize our social responsibility through individual action.
Prerequisite(s): Senior standing.
