Rhetoric of media awareness and mediatization. Reflections on the attitudes of the young adults and silver generations

Abstract

The analysis covers the ways of using media messages in teaching and the differences in media awareness of two generations. In the article, I analyze the specificity of the use of media and its perception by participants in the process of media education and mediatizated education, depending on their affiliation to generational groups. I draw on my own teaching experience in various age
groups: University students, students of the University of the Third Age and the Open University.
