Write a 3–5-page essay analyzing from a sociological perspective a chosen diversity issue covered in the media. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: SHOW LESS Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy. Discuss how minority and dominant groups are portrayed in a media piece in relation to the influence of power. Discuss sociological concepts or theories appropriate for understanding the portrayal of diversity in the media. Competency 2: Identify historical and contemporary influences of discrimination in U. S. culture. Summarize a media piece using the sociological perspective on diversity. Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data. Analyze data that are appropriate for supporting or refuting the central tenets of media piece. Competency 6: Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting. Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics. How are different social groups portrayed in the mass media in contemporary society? How far have we come in terms of reducing or eliminating stereotypical images and portrayals of minority groups? To answer these questions, we need to place them in the context of the economic, technological, and social changes that have shaped postindustrial U.S. society and affected relationships between diverse groups in our society. For example, watching TV sitcoms and dramas today we see not only much greater diversity in cast members but also minority group members playing leading roles, something that was much less common just a few decades ago. As you analyze how the various media forms portray cultural diversity, another thing to consider is the role of people with power in the media industry—those who make the decisions about what stories and images appear on a TV news program or magazine or newspaper article and how those programs or stories will be framed. As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment. SHOW LESS Some sociologists who study the media argue that the media is a reflection of what is already happening in society, while others contend that the media manipulates its audience by portraying events or issues with a particular slant or goal in mind. What do you think? Does the media reflect what is already going on in society, or.

(need to read all the links and need good grammar writing.I have summary and outline, can be referenced from the document) I. INTRODUCTION to the ASSIGNMENT Institutionalized Inequalities Persists Sociology reveals that we live in a stratified society. An individual person’s access to social resources and opportunities varies markedly depending on numerous factors , including those associated with their social location at the always intersecting systems of institutionalized inequalities. Class, race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, religion, and sexual orientation are important predictors of patterned outcomes at the social group level, across institutions. Examining these arenas at a macro level allows sociologists to achieve a more sophisticated grasp of their workings and the larger social structural dynamics at play. This higher level thinking is also necessary to the creation of well-informed strategies designed to create new forms of justice. Half measures are arguably problematic. As Malcom X once said, "If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made" (1964, but as relevant as ever today). People Make History Sociology also reveals that people make history. We are historical agents who help (re)produce and (potentially) transform institutions and culture moment-to-moment throughout our days perpetually. As historical agents, we have the capacity to contribute to positive change in our daily lives. A more just and sustainable world is possible and looming. “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing." ( Arundhati Roy) Social Policy is an Excellent Avenue for Concrete and Critically Informed Social Change. Social policy is an excellent avenue for achieving social justice because it moves human and economic resources and facilitates enacting concrete actions for concrete change. Importantly, it allocates our combined social wealth (tax dollars, human energy). We can continue to invest policy dollars and energy into war, policing, punishment, and corporate welfare--deepening the existing social relationships and macro patterns of unequal power. Another route, already underway, is to shift our resources toward policy efforts that address social inequities at their roots, and nourish healthy communities. Your readings in the final section of the class include policy platforms that you may consider models for this paper (though your proposal will necessarily be much smaller in scope, given word count limits). Other strategies for social change include but are not limited to legislation (lawmaking by representative government or other governmental bodies), litigation (using the courts), research (the work of think tanks, universities, organizations, activists), community organizing (movement building; awareness-building;.

Social service agencies approach the pursuit of social justice issues in different ways. You are currently placed in a social service agency which addresses some aspect of social or economic justice for an oppressed or marginalized population. Using Schneider & Ingram (1993) as a foundation, you will create a paper that addresses the following: PART 1 Provide a brief description of the organization and the population(s) the organization serves. Present the mission of the organization and identify what social justice issues the organization strives to address. Provide both a clear definition of the problem and a description of the extent of the problem. Support the discussion of the problem with citations from the social work literature. Describe the major strategies or interventions the organization utilizes to address social justice issues (1.5-2 pages) PART 2 Identify and analyze the prevailing social and cultural narratives relevant to the chosen social justice issue. Consider the historical basis of the narratives as well as current public policies that impact people experiencing the injustice. Drawing upon Schneider & Ingram (1993) , consider how populations impacted by the issue have been socially constructed. Support the discussion with citations from the social work literature. Develop an alternative narrative about the issue that is more compassionate and conducive to the promotion of social justice. Briefly describe the new narrative and explain why it represents a preferable alternative to the prevailing narrative. (2-3 pages) PART 3 Develop a hypothetical plan for addressing the social injustice in a local context in conjunction with your agency. The plan could entail public policy reform, a community organizing campaign, an activist movement, or something else of your creation. Provide an overview of the plan, highlighting any specific strategies that will be employed. Provide evidence of the potential effectiveness of these strategies, using the social work literature to support the discussion. Provide a rationale for the choice of plan, articulating why this plan is appropriate for addressing the specified social justice issue. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the plan, making note of what resources would be necessary to ensure success. (1.5-2 pages) .

Public Policy and Social Change One of the goals of public policy is to improve the lives of citizens. In today's society many special interest groups, government agencies, community stakeholders, and citizens battle over various public policy issues that might effect social change. Effecting social change, however, does not happen easily. Those who create public policies must remain dedicated to their social issue and be prepared to engage in social disagreements and political action, as well as be able to work within government regulations. Creating public policy also requires individuals to take on various roles and remain actively involved in a social issue. Some roles include administrators, public relations, writers of public policies, and political activists. Each of these roles is vital to the creation of new public policies or changing existing ones. Consider what role related to public policy you envision adopting and how you might effect positive social change. For this Discussion, consider what role you would like to play related to the creation or changing of public policies and ways in which you might effect positive social change in the future. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the article, "Social Networks and American Politics: Introduction to the Special Issue." Pay particular attention to the dissemination of information and the impact of social networks on the American political system in creating social change. Review the article, "Interactions Between Social Movements and US Political Parties." Consider the needs of special interest groups, the challenges to creating public policies, and ways in which public policies can effect positive social change. Think about your future role in public policy and the ways in which you might effect positive social change. With these thoughts in mind: Post by Thursday 3/29/18 a 500-word explanation of your future role in the creation of public policy on a local, national, or global level. Then explain two ways in which you may effect positive social change in that role. Finally, explain one way in which communities could influence public policy to effect positive social change. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your points. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. ...

Use policy and community concepts and theories from the learning resources to support your analysis. Describe your community, using research and statistics to describe socio-demographic make-up. (For example: How many persons live in the city and/or in the town? What were/are their cultural/racial characteristics? What were/are their incomes, ages, political affiliations, etc.?) Part II: Community Assessment Describe a problem that the community is currently experiencing. Assess the duration, intensity, and frequency of the problem. Analyze the probable etiology of the problem, supporting your analysis with resources. Analyze the key elements and characteristics of the community that make it vulnerable to this problem. Analyze the key strengths of the community that give the community resilience and the potential for overcoming the problem. Identify major institutions (e.g., schools, factories, churches, attraction sites, etc.) and explain how these institutions contribute to or inhibit the community’s ability to address the problem? Explain which groups are most affected by the problem. Part III: Community & Policy Action Plan Describe your proposed plan for community change. Explain the strategies and tactics you would use to bring about change. Consider if you would need multiple strategies, and if so, explain which strategy would be used for each target. Explain any policies that may influence the ability, either supportive or prohibitive, to influence proposed community change. Explain what policies would need to be in place to ensure proposed plans are sustainable. .
