Media Influence on Perspectives
Media Influence on Perspectives Assignment
Purpose: We live in a diverse world. Wherever we go – to our schools, workplaces, grocery stories, faith communities, neighborhoods, or community agencies – we see people who look like us and those who are very different from us. We also see and learn about others from the media, be it from the Internet, television, newspapers, movies, magazines, or books. The purpose of this assignment is to explore how our perspectives are influenced by the media. (This assignment will also help you meet the course objectives! 😉
Directions: Watch a half-hour or an hour of television, preferably a show that you’d normally watch. During the commercials, examine the advertisements. Choose one advertisement and take notes on its message about two of any of the following diversity dimensions:
_Ethnicity
_Race
_Gender (masculinity or femininity)
_Sexual orientation
_Economic status
_Physical ability
This assignment is to be a written 1-2 page (500-600 word), double spaced report. The submission deadline to post this report is Sunday,
Points will be assigned as follows:
_Description of the commercial (and if possible, provide a URL link for viewing it)
