Section Info:
Topic: Medicine and Health Description: Since the early twentieth century, Americans have enjoyed watching movies about health, disease, and doctors. Movies have also played a central role in public health educational efforts designed to reduce the number of deaths due to tuberculosis, polio, cancer, and, of course, sexually transmitted infectious diseases, or VD as it was known when these campaigns first began. This class will watch historical movies - some Hollywood romances (but abut a deadly disease), other school films - and analyze their content, messages for proper patient (or mother or doctor) behavior, as well as their beliefs about society at the time they were produced. Students will have some input on film selection.
