  • Media literacy: the ability to identify the different forms of media and understand the messages they are sending (Grace, 2005).
  • Hyper-commercialism: mixing media to increase exposure with the intent to generate a higher profit I haven’t studied this and struggled to find information…do you have some?
  • Scientific theory: Should we change this to social learning theory?
  • Critical culture approach: rooted in critiquing and changing the whole, rather than understanding or explaining it (Straubhaar, LaRose & Davenport, 2018)
