Media Literacy
Media Literacy allows us to critically view media and to evaluate the role that media play in our lives. The primary objective of Media Literacy is to develop awareness of our roles as active agents when engaging media. We must arm all people with the knowledge, skills, and values a media education program provides – granting people access to new technology and information about its workings and ideological implication. Finally, we need more alternative communication systems to counter these problems.Edit

  - It is OK to use pictures of real people! This is somewhat common in the cards so far. BTW, this image could probably go somewhere (if not for this card). - (Doug, 15 August 2012)
