The fundamental medium of this century that has the power to inspire people to consider the social issues of our time is film. This blog is dedicated to exploring important social problems that have been examined through film. Please visit our blog often and add your thoughtful comments to the topics discussed.
Mount St. Mary's students are particularly encouraged to let their voices be heard through this blog. Watch for new topics weekly or biweekly. The process that transforms individuals into activists for social change is to first empower them through speaking out, making the case, and joining together in a common cause.
A few issues to be discussed: The distortion of the idealized female body in American Society, the lack of real advancement in equal educational opportunity for all, global environmental degradation and our lack of proactive action on it, and a reflection on the progess (or lack thereof) of women in leadership.
