Hello Multiple Literacies Course!! The professor did not disappoint with the first reading by Giroux, "The mainstream media spins stories that are largely racist, violent, and irresponsible — stories that celebrate power and demonize victims, all the while camouflaging its pedagogical influence under the cheap veneer of entertainment. Unethical grammars of violence now offer the only currency with any enduring value for mediating relationships, addressing problems, and offering instant pleasure. A predatory culture celebrates a narcissistic hyper-individualism that radiates a near sociopathic lack of interest in or compassion and responsibility for others..." YES!! I love to read articles that make you think of the status quo and really question the norm. To read the entire article, go to: zcommunications.org/america-s-descent-into-madness-by-henry-a-giroux
