Media Effects Research Paper Guidelines
Media effects, also known as media influence are ideas and theories about how mass media influence people as
individuals, as families, as communities and as nations. (Sterin 498) Many different theories help to illuminate
this phenomenon. Theories of exploration include but are not limited to; uses and gratification, magic bullet,
social penetration, cumulative effects, cultivation, and media hegemony. Your task will be to select a group of
people who are effected by the media and provide an in-depth term paper which describes who is effected, how
they are effected, and what this means on a greater social level. Your process will involve seeking sources of
information that may include facts, statistics, historical writings, and current media influences. A research paper
presents the results of your investigations on a selected topic. Based on your own thesis and the facts and ideas
you have gathered from a variety of sources, a research paper is a creation that is uniquely yours. The
experience of gathering, interpreting, and documenting information, developing and organizing ideas and
conclusions, and communicating them clearly will prove to be an important and satisfying part of your
education and are most certainly valuable in the field of Communication Studies.

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:

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.

STEP 1 Next, find a text in conversation with your first two that.docx
STEP 1: Next, find a
text in conversation with your first two that that allows for reader/viewer interaction via feedback, online comments, etc.
You can be creative here. For example, you could look at a blog, a series of tweets, a podcast, Instagram posts, online videos, interviews, artwork, ads, etc. as long as the text provides space for interaction from readers/viewers
(like comments, sharing, or liking).
Importantly, again, try to pick a source (or series of sources--if you use something like tweets) that isn't just broadly about the same general topic as the one you used for the last discussion, but one that debates the same question or concern that your previous sources debated/discussed.
NOTE: Try to find a source with information that surprises you or enhances your understanding of the conversation in some way. This will help you write a better analysis.
STEP 2: Once you’ve identified a source to work with, read the text(s) and then write a rhetorical summary. To help you write a rhetorical summary, see
Guiding Questions for Rhetorical Summaries
below. Because your source is so different from the previous sources you used, your answers will probably be very different.
Note: there's a new question below: don't forget to answer it!
Guiding Questions For Researching Rhetorically:
Please use specific examples from the text to support your analysis. Here are some questions to consider.
First, identify the
author
(first name and last name) and title of the piece and where/when it was published. Then identify the core idea of the author’s argument, along with information on
what
they’re arguing and
how
they’re making their argument. (If it's an informative piece, identify what the main goal of the document is and what they are using to support that goal. For example, what are they trying to explain? Why? How?) Your summary should remain an objective report of the article/text, without your commentary or opinion of the author’s argument/information.
Who is the
audience
for the text and what was the author’s purpose? Remember that the audience cannot be "everyone". (For example, does the audience belong to a particular age group? To a specific geographical location? A political affiliation? A specific career or degree of knowledge? Look for clues in the text as to whom the writer thinks is reading.) What is the writer responding to? What do you know about the author/place of publication?
How does the writer use evidence/information? Is the evidence/information reliable? Why or why not?
What is the level of
bias
or degree of advocacy in the medium where this article was published? For example, a newspaper or website might believe something very strongly, to the point that they are very selective in the information they share, or they might be trying to be "neutral". If you look into the newspaper/website/etc, you might get clues. What might you say are the medium’s values? For example, for an article, you mi.
Essay 2 Argument - A Social Topic Viewed Through the Media .docx
Essay 2: Argument - A Social Topic Viewed Through the Media
Assignment: A social issue is on that concerns everyone in any given society. Subsequently,
these issues concern each and every one of us to some degree. Therefore, we each have a stake in
various issues listed in chapters 19-24. Your assignment is to choose a social issue, read the
essays in that section of the text, identify the issues discussed and join in on “the conversation”
that takes place. Write an essay in which you (1) unpack and define a social issue of your
choice, (2) demonstrate your mastery of analysis, synthesis, evaluation, critical thinking, and
reasoning, (3) explore how this particular social issue is treated by, represented in,
exacerbated through, or perpetuated via the media, and, lastly, (4) detail what your role in all
of this will be in the years to come: what will you do in the face of this issue? How will you
address this issue as it manifests itself in your social sphere? Consider carefully what readers
may already know about the particular social injustice you select to explore and define (or
redefine), and how your essay can effectively add to their knowledge. Please keep your focus
narrow by exploring and writing about detailed and specific examples. Keeping your topic as
narrow as possible helps keep your essay on track. Also, please consider the social impact
involved in this topic. Why should it matter to your reader? In what ways are you as the writer
advancing our knowledge of ourselves and what is going on around us, and that we, in effect,
may be contributing to the issues in our society. How are you going to reconcile truth and
perception?

Synthesis Assignment Instructions and RubricSynthesis Essay. .docx
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.

Your task is to evaluate the available evidence on the social, emotional, psychological, biological, and
behavioural changes that occur during adolescence and emerging adulthood that may explain their
increased vulnerability to specific problems and/or behaviour choices.
Of course, not all adolescents engage in problematic behaviour or make unwise life-style choices,
therefore, when discussing the possible causes of change occurring in this age group you should
consider any distinctive cultural practices or cultural beliefs that may act as protective mechanisms for
young people. Arnett (2018) argues that an interrogation of cultural beliefs and their influence is
necessary in order to gain a fuller understanding of developmental changes in adolescents and emerging
adults.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
