Do the characters/narrator reflect upon whether they exist and how they know what they know? To what extent do the following factors impact their sense of self: emotions, past experiences, rationality, other people, race, gender, socio-economic status, ethnicity, and religion? Are they conscious of themselves as having a “self?” .

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.

Stratification and Prejudice in Current Events The purpose of this assignment is to explore stratification and prejudice in current events. Despite great advances towards equality between the races and genders, racial and gender discrimination, as well as class stratification remain serious social problems. To conclude this course, you will use the news media to discover current social issues with regards to race and gender. To complete this assignment, perform the following tasks: Using newspapers, news websites, or news magazines, select three current events (within the last six months) that reflect our studies on stratification. One event should represent racial issues, one gender issues, and one class issues. All three should demonstrate discrimination and/or stratification in American society. Using your research, describe the current events and how they are reflective of your studies on racial, gender, and class discrimination and/or stratification. Analyze the events and apply the lecture and text to the news articles. What theories of stratification apply? Are the current events representative of the historical trends of racial, gender, and class discrimination and or/stratification? What solutions, if any, should be applied to these current events? In your discussion, apply your personal experiences and observations to the current events. How do you feel that the media perpetuates discrimination and/or stratification based on race, gender, and class? Support your ideas with concepts from the text and/or appropriate outside resources. Provide a minimum of three references and apply the correct APA standards in the format of text, citations, and references. Your paper should include a title page and reference. Your paper should be at least five pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. Assignment 1 Grading Criteria Selected and used research to describe three current events, one each that addresses racial, gender, and class discrimination and/or stratification.

Primary Source Analysis Paper Instructions for Primary Source Analysis Primary Source Analysis due: 6 March (worth 15%) primary-source-analysis-rubric Primary sources are sources created in the historical period being researched and by historical actors themselves. (Contrast this with secondary sources, which are after-the-fact scholarly analyses of the past.) For this assignment, you will submit to me a 2-3 page analysis of that source along with instructions as to how I can access your source (or a copy of the source attached to your essay). PLEASE NOTE: You must incorporate a tertiary source and at least one secondary source to substantiate your analysis. Keep in mind that primary sources can come in many forms. They can be maps, diaries, letters, memoirs, newspaper articles, government documents, posters, pamphlets, photographs, advertisements, paintings, films, novels, songs—just to name a few. If your source comes in a non-textual form (such as a film), please submit it to me in the form appropriate for its genre (such as a video or DVD, etc.). The purpose of this assignment is to work on how to analyze a primary source. Your goal is to analyze your source excerpt as deeply and as thoroughly as possible. Do not simply provide a general summary or overview of your source. Think concretely and critically about its content, its historical context, the historical cultural values that shape it, and its relevance to your research. What are the author’s tone, style, and argument? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Read between the lines to discover its biases and assumptions. Depending on the nature of the primary source you select, the source may be as short as a paragraph or two or as long as dozens of pages. In structuring your Primary Source Analysis Essay, you should address the following questions. Do not simply list answers to the questions below. Rather, you must write your paper in essay form. It should have an introduction, several body paragraphs, and a conclusion. You do not need to address the questions in order, but be sure that you address the questions that are relevant to your source in your essay. Your essay must be a polished piece of writing. I will grade it for both content and style. Basic Identification 1. What type of source is it? (newspaper article, map, letter, film, etc.) 2. When was it created? 3. Where was it created? 4. Who created it? Author’s Intent 1. What is the author’s place in society? (profession, status, class, gender, ethnicity, etc.) 2. How might the factors listed in the question above shape the author’s perspective in this source? 3. Why do you think the author created this source? 4. Does the author have an argument? If so, what is it? 5. Who is the intended audience for this source? 6. How might the intended audience shape the perspective of this source? Historical Context 1. Under what specific historical circumstances was this source created? 2. What larger.

The purpose of this assignment is to have you perform a critique of the way gender operates/is communicated/is enforced in an event that is happening in our lives. Pick something CONTEMPORARY from the newspaper, TV, or social media and make an argument about what type of gendered communication is occurring in the “story.” Use the book to support your claims about that which you are analyzing. Explain your position by backing up your claims with scholarly evidence and use articles from the BCC library (2 scholarly articles). The goal is to convince the reader to adopt your perspective about the gendered communication. What is this “story” telling us about the larger discourses surrounding power, gender, race, class, ability, etc? For this assignment you will be evaluated on your writing skills, your attention to persuasive appeals, and your use of evidence (focusing on particular parts of the “story” and relating them back to the theory from the book and external articles). This assignment will be 1,000 words and should contain an introduction, body, conclusion, a cover page and reference page all in APA, and will combine knowledge of all concepts discussed this semester. .

Assignment 2 – Gender and Crime Dramas Purpose: To develop an argument of definition by closely observing and analyzing specific media examples (as listed in the options below) that engage gender definitions. Students will practice drawing specific textual and visual details to support their assertions. Topic: This assignment asks you to look at how contemporary media defines us as a culture and/or specific subcultures and issues specifically as regards to gender. Visual and textual mediums communicate a great deal to the public psyche about notions of who and what we are and what we should strive to become. How we read and interpret these messages is based on our own subject positions—our own race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation and our cultural experiences, etc. Each of us is bombarded daily with messages regarding American ideals from a wide variety of sources, like family, friends, school, work, religion and the media. These messages often forward arguments of definition that shape and define who we are and what we value. While it's relatively easy to reject some of these messages based on differences of opinion as exhibited through generational, ethnic, racial, and gendered perspectives, etc., others are more difficult to ignore because of their insidiousness. The options for this assignment ask you to examine the ways in which contemporary media engage definitions of gender and the extent to which they might send mixed messages about who we are and what we should value. Writing Prompt: In a 1,000 word thesis driven essay respond to one of the following two options: Option I: Working from our readings and discussion threads on gender, analyze a single episode of the show Southland (TNT 2009-2013--starring Regina King as seen in the above image), Criminal Minds, or any CSI or Law and Order episode within the last few years. Closely observe the roles played, the interactions between male and female characters, and how the characters and settings are visually presented. Then write an argument of definition that assesses whether the show is ultimately more traditional or more progressive (non-traditional) in its depiction of gender roles. The first step will be to define traditional versus non-traditional (progressive) gender roles as you see it (the Aaron Devor essay in our textbook is a great resource to help define these terms). Your paper should not be a general overview or review of the show. Instead, you should include close analysis of character actions and behaviors in two to four key scenes from one single episode as support for your stance. You may also use another CURRENT Crime Drama with prior approval from me (While there are many edgier shows out there, I focus on mainstream crime dramas where it is possible to read the lead characters several ways—this can lead to some interesting tension and analysis as to which way the program ultimately leans—more traditional or more non-traditional? Sometimes a show may seem ...

Paper Instructions You are to research and write a 5-8 page paper (excluding title page and reference pages) on one of the topics listed below. The paper should incorporate references to the course material and a minimum of 6 scholarly sources. The paper should be typed, double spaced using APA formatting, and attached as a file. Your writing should display knowledge, analysis, evaluation, and application of the material you have studied in the course. See the document called “Final Paper Expectations” for a breakdown of the structure and expectations. As you consider the topic you want to write about, ask yourself what supporting materials from the course, from your personal experiences, and from your researched resources you could bring together to bring the topic to life. Topics to select from are: Consider how Martin Buber’s theory of communication plays out in the world. Take into consideration each of the three types of relationships (I-It, I-You, I-Thou). Abraham Maslow developed his theory of the “Hierarchy of Needs.” How do people use social media to meet their needs? Discuss your thoughts and the thoughts of the experts about the four types of attachment styles. Discuss the impact of the media on the development of gender identity. What are the impacts of long-distance relationships on interpersonal communication? Martin Luther King, Jr. (Quotable Quote) is quoted as saying, “It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.” What aspects of interpersonal communication apply to this sentiment? According to Anthony Robbins (Quotable Quote), “The quality of your life is the quality of your communication.” How so? Module 2 told us that “the self arises in communication with others.” Discuss. Before writing this paper, observe yourself for several days, and whenever you use “you” language, try to rephrase what you said or thought into “I” language. How does that change how you think and feel about what’s happening? How does it affect your interactions with others? Does it make a positive or negative impact? Describe your experiences and then relate your personal findings to what you find in your research. What labels that you dislike have been applied to you or to groups to which you belong? Explain how the labels affect you. Describe how your experiences relate to what you find in your research. Who is your prototype, or model, of a listener? Describe what the person does that makes her or him effective? Relate your description to research on listening. Discuss the differences between differential, assertive, and aggressive communication. Define and describe what makes a good friend. Describe the investments that are made, how trust, acceptance, and closeness are communicated. How does that compare to what experts say about friends and friendship? What makes for a successful romantic relationship? Compare your pers.

Synthesis Assignment Instructions and Rubric Synthesis Essay. A synthesis is a written discussion that draws on one or more sources. In an academic synthesis, you make explicit the relationships that you have inferred among separate sources, make judgments, draw conclusions and critique individual sources to determine the relationship among them. You should refer to supporting material and examples from class readings, discussions, and research, with proper citations. The essay should not be a summary of the readings but examination of their meanings in systems of belief and reason. You should analyze the claims of authors and their implications. You should also develop an argument, or thesis, based on the synthesis of class readings. Making your own Myth-to be posted on your Tumblr blog The purpose of this collaborative writing exercise is to create an origin myth story of your own imagination. Using the examples from the origin myths in the DBR 200 iBook-create your own origin myth! What was there before the beginning of time? Of space? What does the universe look like in your imagination? Is there a “Creator” in your story? Or multiple “entities” that act like creators or instigators or accidents of nature? What do these “beings” or entities look like? How do they act? Are you telling the story from the perspective of ancient, primitive imaginations? Or is this story a translation or recital of the “original story” told by the “creators” or “first beings or entities?” What about the origins of humankind? How will you describe those events? What sort of relationship do those creatures have with the world or universe? Step One-Try to address some of the issues I’ve raised above in your group discussions. Begin to sketch in some of the details you might like to include as a kind of framework or outline to your story. Step Two-Continue to try to collect images or sounds that might be included in a multimedia representation of the story. You should immediately consider the restrictions/limitations to the kind of media that you can post on Tumblr. That will affect your choice of materials and how they are presented. Step Three-Create the First draft version of the myth and use it to expand/contract depending on how the group wants the version to be received or understood/listened or viewed by your readers. You might even post it up and ask for feedback from “followers” on your Tumblr blogs. Step Four-Post your final version on Tumblr. Each student in the group should post the same/group’s version of the origin story. I will reblog the final versions to everyone. The final version should have a short section at the bottom of the work acknowledging sources, such as the origin myths included in the iBook, in the form of footnotes that detail how a particular figure from one of the origin myths inspired your version, etc. Rubric for Synthesis Assignment-Origin Myths Glossary The definitions that follow were developed to clarify terms a.

Discuss an example from your life or from your observations that illustrates one or more of the concepts or theories you learned about in this week’s readings or audiovisual resources. Make sure you are clear in describing the course concept or theory that best applies to your experiences or observations. Regardless of which prompt you choose, you are encouraged to use one of the assigned readings or audiovisual resources to support your points. Respond to your classmates’ posts, sharing any commonalities or differences between your classmates’ perspectives and experiences and your own. Last week you studied the concept of prejudice in relation to discrimination and other sociological aspects of diversity. One element of prejudice is stereotyping, which refers to a process in which people make generalizations about a group of people. Given the media’s pervasiveness in American culture, how the media portrays members of social groups can influence the perceptions of the audience and contribute to or refute common stereotypes. To learn more about the way in which media represent members of social groups, and the consequences of those representations, read the following resources: Colburn, A., & Melander, L. A. (2018). Beyond black and white: An analysis of newspaper representations of alleged criminal offenders based on race and ethnicity . Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice, 34 (4), 383–398. Frederickson, A. (2017). Sugar and spice and everything nice: Gender representation in media . Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 56 (10), S108. Watch Racial Stereotypes [Video] , which traces the history of stereotyping and discusses a key theory of media influence, called the theory of cultivation.
