This book makes you think a lot about empathy. It traces its roots to explore the origins of communication. It looks for the reasons behind it, how it can be used, and what it may look like in the future. How teenagers carry these ideas into the world is up to them, but I hope they all grow into adults who communicate well, with empathy and understanding.

Chae Hee-sang: First Communication Studies
Many teenagers still don't really know what interests them, what kind of career they want to pursue, or what makes them happiest. They receive very little introduction to the many fields of study beyond school subjects or the careers available after graduation. Bom Majung's Career Lessons for Teens series was created to help young people discover their aptitudes and plan and shape their futures. The fifth book in the series, An Introduction to Communication Studies, following An Introduction to Geography, was written by Professor Chae Hee-sang, who teaches in the School of Media, Film, Advertising, and Public Relations at Hanshin University. It explores the history and meaning of communication, the role of communication studies in the new media era, and possible career paths after graduating with a degree in communication studies.
