1.  In this first paragraph I wanted to outline that I feel that there is a weak leg in the subject of social and economic implications being outlined in the communications major. Maybe it is just because I’m struggling to see the clear connections, even though they may be there. When I’m looking through the course descriptions, I can see multiple areas of historical context, and some places where ethical and moral values come into play. Maybe I need to look deeper into this question about social and economic implications and I need to read between the lines more to see where they apply. 
  1. History and traditions of the field, outlined in Boyers “enriched major” , is very much present in the communications major here at UNE. When reading through the mission statement, learning outcomes ect – it is hard to find where this comes into play. It’s when you dig into the course descriptions of some of the classes you learn where you will gain this knowledge. In the class “Introduction to Journalism” – part of the description includes “including investigation of the role of the journalist historically and in the present day. In the class “Intro to Communications” some of the course description includes “Topics include the history of communications as an academic discipline.” These are just two examples, but looking through the courses – a lot of them include a historical context. This is a key part of Boyers “Enriched Major.”
