Special notes: Media and the media are plural and take plural
verbs. The use of personal pronouns "we" and "you" are
unacceptable in academic writing except when otherwise
indicated. The use of the first person "I" is not called for in this
assignment.
Select and complete one of the following assignment options
(note: title your essays by their subject, not the name of the
assignment):
Option A
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper in which you answer the
following questions:
· What were the major developments in the evolution of mass
media during the last 120 years or so? Discuss at least five
forms of major mass media in order of development. Choose
from movies, recorded music, radio, television, video games,
internet streaming, and social media. Newspapers may be
included but only those developments in the last 120 years or
so. We are not requesting the history of mass media, mass
media developments before 1900, and identification of
communications devices that are person to person and not mass
media such as the telegraph and telephone.
· What innovations did each provide to consumers (what was
new about them)? How did each medium change the lives and
behavior of people after its introduction?
· What is meant by the term media convergence, and how has it
affected everyday life?
· Conclude with a reflection on why media literacy is important
for responsible media consumption today.
Format your essay according to appropriate course-level APA

guidelines. Spelling and grammar check your work.
Note: your first paper will be annotated with regard to
formatting, spelling, grammar, and usage, for which you will
not be penalized, but you are responsible for applying these
notes to subsequent assignments.
Submit your assignment to the Assignment Files tab.
Option B
This option may be written in the first person.
Choose three different kinds of cultural products you have
viewed, read, or used that are examples of distinct forms of
mass media. This does not refer to social media platforms,
networks, or periodical publications (newspapers, magazines,
etc.); it does refer to individual products by name like specific
books, TV shows, movies, video games, recordings, etc. you
have enjoyed. For example, the biography Alexander
Hamilton by Ron Chernow is an example of a cultural product
of the mass media channel of print publishing. Another example
is the cultural product The Walking Dead, an AMC TV show.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word personal essay that describes your
three selected cultural products.
Include a discussion of the following in your essay:
· In what ways do you think they shape, change, or reinforce the
cultural values of our society in general?
· In what ways did your examples shape, change, or reinforce
your own cultural values? You may use the first person to
describe.
· What is media literacy and why is it important?
Format your essay according to appropriate course-level APA
guidelines. Note: your first paper will be annotated with regard
to formatting, spelling, grammar, and usage, for which you will
not be penalized, but you are responsible for applying these
notes to subsequent assignments.

Week 3 Application: Case Scenario

Background
Every two years, the city prepares a capital improvement plan
(CIP), which forecasts capital
improvement needs, revenues, and expenditures. This year you
have been asked to submit
upcoming capital needs for the police department covering 5
fiscal years.
The projects included in the CIP must cost over $25,000 and are
generally related to major
infrastructure projects including the city's sewer and water
system, roadways, parks, and
facilities. While the city council approves the entire plan, only
the first 2 years of the plan are
approved for funding. The final 3 years of the plan are provided
for planning purposes only.
After some consideration you have identified two capital
improvement projects—a remodel of the
men’s and women’s locker rooms and furniture replacement
throughout the policing facility.
Capital Improvement Project Summary
The police department was built in 1993. Both the men’s and
women’s locker rooms include
restrooms with typical faucets, toilets, shower stalls, and tile
walls and floors. Because of the
extensive use of these facilities by all three patrol shifts every
day, the tile surfaces, faucets,
shower stalls, and counters are worn. Water pools outside of the
shower stalls and there is rust
on the faucets and countertops. A few of the countertops are
cracked and linoleum is peeling

from the sides of the countertops. Your proposal suggests
replacement of all fixtures, counters,
and tiling with water-saving toilets and low-flow shower
faucets. Your proposed total cost for the
remodel is $46,000.
The furniture in the police department was purchased in 1993. It
is well used by employees and
those who visit the police station. You are proposing to replace
the lobby furniture on both floors
of the station; desks and desk chairs at 11 patrol sergeant
workstations; eight desks used by
records clerks and supervisors; the soft furniture in the police
chief’s office and in the interview
room; all front desk furniture; and all desks, chairs, and other
furniture in the Investigations unit.
The total cost for this project is $97,000.
While considering the project summary, write a capital
improvement plan by following the
instructions provided in the Application area of the classroom.
