Permaculture is a powerful and internationally-recognized form of design science that has become increasingly important since its emergence in Australia about 30 years ago. Working with nature, permaculture provides a well-established route to create human environments that mimic the sustainable, resilient, and energy-efficient natural environments we see all around us. Permaculture is concerned with the study and practice of the way human beings ? as individuals and societies ? can participate in the creation of ethical and ecological support systems. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and natural patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, neighborhoods, and towns in both rural and urban settings.

By grounding our study in the founding principles of the First Amendment, the course will facilitate analysis of the following questions: What is meant by the term mass communication? What influence does mass communication have on our public discourse and the way we function as a society? How is a message crafted to fit a specific media format or to reach a specific demographic? What kind of messages are truly for the masses and what messages are for defined groups and why? How do new media formats compare to historic methods and what are the implications of these new trends? Through this analysis, students should become critical consumers of communication messages.
