"I, a 21st Century Communicator" by: Ryan A. Azcarraga


                  Throughout this course I have learned many things from literacy to rhetoric and the general concept that I have learned and have ingrained in myself is to be critical and analytic of the things that we see in our society. Through the different concepts I have learned throughout this course, I have learned to understand the different situations that happen in society. These concepts gave me a new perspective on how I view messages in social media, it has made me look at ads and videos differently. Usually I would just watch these things and sometimes fall for the agendas behind these messages, but now I have learned how to critically analyze and understand the true nature of these videos or ads, through the concepts of rhetoric and representation, aside from these it has also given me an insight on the concepts of culture in the context of social media. It has also helped me understand stereotypes and generalizations that have been created in our society, which we can still see reinforced in ads these days.
              I have also become more critical of things I view in social media, specifically things regarding news and information. Throughout the course discussion there have been many instances/examples that shows instances of fake news and misinformation that is rampant throughout social media, but through these examples it has helped me become more sceptical of things I see online. Nowadays I do more fact checking and I now rely on more credible sources when it comes to news.
              In conclusion, the general concept that I have learned is to think both critically and analytically using the different topics that I have learned in this course. With this new mind set at hand I will try my best to effectively communicate and understand the different messages and information that I see online, and I will also be more critical and use my knowledge to help and to inform others about the different situations that occur within social media. Through this I hope to become a better communicator and a better person for the growing online community.
