Patti's page

Hi my name is Patti Thompson and like my collaborator Julie I am also in my final semester of a Masters Degree. I am interested in learning about information and technology and the discourse and debates that attract themselves to new thinking and ideologies. I chose to study the unit Youth, Popular Culture and Texts because technology is a significant part of young people's lives and it is good to put the theory to the world of teenagers. My focus for this unit is Film and Television and I have chosen to look at advertising in visual media and its impact on how society interprets and understands visual representations of the human body.
