                    This course gives students a clear understanding of the factors influencing the media today. It aims to provide the students with an in-depth look at media, and offers a theoretical foundation for understanding media's impact on society. Media and Society is about the ways in which the mass media have become deeply entwined in social life in a large scale postindustrial society. It examines real, imagined, and potential effects of the mass media on individuals and society. It will create an understanding of the processes through which the mass media are enabled and constrained by such factors as technology, law, industry structure, organisational structure, occupational careers, and market.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                              The purpose of this course is to introduce the main philosophical issues and debates in the field of environmental ethics, as well as the moral relationship between human beings and the environment. It considers how to ethically defend our actions toward the environment and its non-human contents. This course provides a fundamental understanding of right and wrong (ethics) in relation to the patterns of reality (ontology). It will also examine the religious and cultural traditions that have contributed to the environmental crisis, along with relevant political and economic structures, including the trends and challenges of globalization.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
