Communication Assignment

Communication Assignment

Order Description

Instructions
This assignment allows you the opportunity to undertake some preliminary research on
topics that are of considerable interest within communication studies. Perhaps these
topics will continue to be of interest to you over the course of your studies, where you will
be able to study them in more detail.
Completing this assignment is as easy as one, two, three.
Step One
Select one of the following concepts:
i. Network
ii. Digital
iii. Social network
iv. “Trolling”
v. Free speech
vi. Algorithm
vii. Control
viii. Accessibility
ix. Publicity
x. “Cyber-Activism”
xi. Discourse
xii. Commodification
xiii. Consumerism
xiv. “Open Source”
xv. Censorship
xvi. Resistance
xvii. Public opinion
xviii. Copyright
xix. Citizenship
xx. Software
xxi. Propaganda
xxii. Hacking
xxiii. Sexuality
xxiv. Big Data
xxv. “Net Neutrailty”
xxvi. Convergence
xxvii. Archive
xxviii. Engagement
Step Two
Find two authors who have written about the concept you have chosen and – more
importantly – that have attempted to provide a definition of that concept. You are to
consult either books available at the Carleton University Library (U of O’s library is fine,
too) or journal articles available through the library (in other words, articles from journals
the library subscribes to). Once you have this you will tell me what those two authors say
about the concept and how they define it. Is it different? The same?
Step Three
You are to provide three brief case studies that illustrate both the concept and the ways
that the two authors you have chosen have characterized that concept. For example: If I
were to select “hegemony”, and I find one author who talks about the concept by
referring to the idea of military dominance and I find another author who talks about
hegemony as stifling contrary opinions, I then have to find three examples that illustrate
those two views. You may use the internet to find the examples, and I expect that each
case study will be explained in brief – maybe a paragraph or two for each.
Format
In the end your paper will look like this:
a. An introduction which explains why you have chosen the topic
b. A section which shows me how two authors have defined and discussed this topic
c. A section which shows me three examples which illustrate what the topic is, why it
is important, and which illustrates the ideas and arguments of the authors you
have researched
d. A conclusion that tells me why this is significant for a class on communication
theory.
