Journalism, mass media and communication
Project description
Assignment elements:

Addressing the following:

Identify ways in which individuals or society have changed due to the introduction or advancement of a communication technology. Provide supporting evidence through all of the following: (1) an interview with someone at least 40 years of age, (2) research evidence from at least two primary sources, including those found in an AU Library database, and (3) your own observations or examples.

Approach this assignment as a five-paragraph essay. Your essay should be polished, with clear arguments and crisp sentences. A list of themes and topics to choose from is on the last page of this document. Feel free to select one of these or come up with one on your own. Originality and creativity are always welcomed.

For the topic selected, you must:

• In first paragraph, provide a clear and concise thesis of your topic (that is, what is the essay about). Be sure to define or describe any key terms.

• In the second paragraph, identify the person interviewed and what he/she has to say about the topic, especially any observations about the past as compared to the present.

o Focus on what that person has to say about the past as related to the relevant communication technology, especially any personal experiences. You may compare/contrast how that communication technology affected the person’s everyday life in the past or present. DO NOT write in a question/answer format.

• In the third paragraph, identify two (or more) primary sources of research evidence and what the research has to say on the topic. Include in-text citations as needed. (Use APA style format; examples can be found later in this assignment.)

o Academic journal articles and books you can find by using an AU database may provide good primary sources for this topic. News articles are also appropriate. Wikipedia and other encyclopedias are NOT primary sources, although they may contain references to primary sources.

• In the fourth paragraph, provide your own ideas about the topic. Include examples to explain or illustrate your points.

o Focus on observations and/or examples that closely fit the theme of the essay.

• In the fifth paragraph, synthesize material in the essay. Compare and contrast the points made by the person interviewed, in the research and in your own observations. Draw conclusions that reflect how the specific communication technology changed individuals or society.
