Question 2

2). What concept/s in this class have you found most interesting? What was it about that concept/s that you found interesting?

One thing that I found interesting was actually what we read this week and the different research methods. I did know of a few of them but ones that were new to me included the Unobtrusive Methods and Conversation Analysis. Another favorite concept that I really agreed with was the way media communicated to their audience, in particular, the media agenda. I am a firm believer in this especially when it comes to news reporting. I honestly do not watch the news too much because the concepts and ideas in which they show are all the same; who is corrupt, who is dying, who is killing. It's really sad but I do understand a lot of these type of events happen.

Duck's Attraction Filter of friends and romatic partners was also a very intersting concept. It is something we take for granted in everyday life and as apart of what we do. It is interseting how it is broken down into the 4 phases; sociological cues, preinteraction cues, interaction cues, and cognitive cues. Sub-conciously we do this on a daily basis and depending on where someone falls within these filters determines how we interact with them on a personal level.
