Why AICE Media Studies?

When I look back at why I chose to take AICE Media Studies this year, two ideas came to mind: working towards achieving my AICE diploma for college as well as learning even more about our ever changing media and entertainment industry.  Since  the AICE Diploma is such a helpful and resourceful credential to have for college and later in life, I knew achieving this goal of mine would be a top priority.  By taking this class I can ensure that I have the ability to fully complete my AICE diploma by Senior year.  Furthermore, I also chose this class to expand my knowledge of how today's media is changing as well as fitting in with society.  In the last few decades alone, the world's media has changed drastically.  In any range of jobs, understanding and being able to interact with the world's media is very important in being able to communicate and succeed in our world today.  Since the basis of media is so new, it has so much potential to expand, become even more complex, and  further integrate into our modern society.  Through understanding media and achieving my AICE Diploma, I felt it would be very beneficial to take AICE Media Studies and understand the basis and platforms of how media is evolving and becoming even more and more important everyday.
