A US university has started the course of teaching the culture of selfies.
It is about the study of selfies, self-portraits taken on cellphones, to analyze its cultural meaning and self-expression.
The course began this semester at the University of Southern California under the title "Writing 150: Writing and Critical Reasoning: Identity and Diversity."
It is known among students as #SelfieClass.
At the class students have to take five self- portraits and analyze the background, their clothes, their gestures and any objects in the image.
They will also compare their selfies with other students and well- known celebrities.
For more about that the now joining us live on the phone is:
Mark Marino, Associate Professor of teaching in writing programme, at the University of Southern California in the US. He is directly the teacher of this selfclass.
