CFS 399U: The American Family in Film and Television

How these videos work

Substitute for class instruction

We watch a lot of media

The average American watches more than 5 hours daily

Media gives us messages

Messages about the roles we play

We must identify those messages

In order to make an informed choice

This course teaches you how to see those messages

In both film and television

Media is a conversation

An evolving conversation
