Trying to imagine a world without the use of language, any language, is an impossible task to accomplish.

I have learned how to interpret this changing world of media and culture through uses of multimodal methods during this course. Along the way I developed my knowledge and ability to communicate in…

All my life I have been interested in communication. I originally thought that communication was just a passion, but now I realize it is what I want to do as a career.
