My point is its important for everyone to be open minded and not be bias. Its easy for someone who is part of the "majority" to say "Oh that is not a racial slur its a scientific term." They wouldn't know because they haven't been called it.

My bad, in the past I had only seen analogies where both situations were 100% identical to one another. I should have gone for that.

I like to thing of myself as very logical. Are you saying that I wouldn't be logical if I was in the minority?

Quit being so damned racist, Soulflower.

You're entirely missing my point about culture changing.

And yeah huh, communications studies is totally a social science. You can agree with a few of my points, I won't think any less of you.

There probably are some social dimensions to the field that incorporates some elements of social science but I would not define communications as a social science. It falls more under mass media relations or journalism in my opinion but I am aware not all majors have the same curriculum. So maybe your curriculum is more based on social sciences.

I have never heard Communications ever refereed to as a social science.
Studying the effects of the media, marketing, advertising, etc. is what makes it a social science because it studies society. I guess you learn something new everyday, because it's pretty commonly referred to as a social science.
