1) Emp ~ Experience Music Project
Everyone around here knows about the big blob that screams communication, good or bad; everyone has an opinion. The truth is, it is dedicated to the exploration and creativity of the music industry. People come from all around to experience the essence of all genres of music and music history.

2) Tattoos ~
Humans have marked their bodies with tattoos for generations. It is a way of expressing themselves or a way of branding. Back in Biblical times when a people got captured they would brand the women so everyone would know who they belonged to and where they cam from. Today all the people I know who have tattoos have a story to tell about them.

3) Propaganda ~
Who doesn’t know about Rosie the Riviter? She was a cultural image/icon in the US who represented Women working in the factories in WWII. In today’s world the propaganda displays itself in ads and new stories that can be manipulated to say anything the writer wants it to say.

4) Photography ~
Photography is one of the best ways of mass communication I can think of. It crosses language barriers and touches many of our senses, you can feel sad, happy cold or hot just by looking at a photograph. It can bring you into a close relationship with a different culture in ways words could never do.
Nation Geographic magazine is a good example http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/
5) Monuments~
Probably the most memorable monument that goes way beyond mass communication is the Twin Towers. Those towers, which represented a symbol of capitalism and America’s wealth were known around the world. The disaster that happened spoke of violence and hatred to the entire world.
