Question:
How important is viewing visual culture with not only denotations but also connotations?
Answer:
It is very important to find out both denotations and connotations. From T.Barrett, I know that knowing the the ideas behind visual culture, such as an image or an object, will influences our opinions and attitudes in life. If we agreed with the ideas, our opinions and attitudes will be reinforced. However, if we did not know the ideas behind visual culture, we might end up with accepting something that we don't agree at all.
Interesting points. I agree that if we look at something without having a previously founded thougt, then the media has a lot of power in swaying us to view it in a certain way.
