Media and Cultural Studies

Media and Cultural Studies is an academic field that explores how media—such as TV, movies, social media, and news—shape our perceptions, beliefs, and society. It examines the ways cultural values, power structures, and identities are reflected, constructed, or challenged through media content. The field investigates how audiences interpret messages, the influence of media on culture, and the role of media industries in society. Overall, it helps us understand the complex relationship between media, culture, and identity, fostering critical awareness of how media impact our daily lives and social norms.
