Culture Studies
Multifaceted intellectual area that explores the ideological interconnections amoung media, politics, economy and practices of individuals in a cultural system. 
It attempts to think about the mass media as elements in a whole way of life, a complex unity held together by culture, by the production and reproduction of systems and symbols and messages.
Culture is the wearing of values and beliefs that undergird a particular society or group.


EG: The London riots were led and escalated out of control through social media.
