Introduction to Media and Society
Fourth Assignment: Solutions
This semester we have covered
several different potential effects of media consumption. For this paper, you need to choose a
potentially harmful effect we’ve addressed in class and propose a solution to
help mitigate that effect.
As you write your paper, here are
specific questions to answer:
- Describe the potentially harmful effect you are targeting. Provide detailed information about what is known about this effect (what type of content causes it, what type of person is most affected, etc.), drawing on course material (lectures and/or the readings) for your answer.
- Propose a practical solution for this media effect. Provide detailed information about what your solution involves.
- Discuss why we would have reason to believe that the solution you are proposing would work. Again, use material from the course to support your answer.
All parts of the assignment must be
typed.
The essays combined should not exceed 3 total pages of double spaced
text (not counting references). Use one-inch margins, a regular font style
(e.g., Times New Roman), and size.
Assignments must be submitted to Oncourse. Be
sure you receive e-mail confirmation of your submission.
Writing Tutorial Services on campus is a good
place to get help with your writing skills.
