COMM 200: Analysis Paper 1 Assignment (Fall 2021)
Thus far in the semester, we have discussed what it means to live in a pervasive media society wherein most of us spend more time using media technologies than all other daily activities, including work and sleep. As Lule describes in the text book, media are used as tools for economic, political, and cultural globalization. While some people believe that media have helped to foster a global village by creating a more interconnected and interdependent world, others believe media have actually enhanced conflict, miscommunication, and indifference.
The purpose of this writing assignment is to prompt you to reflect on your perceptions about the relationship between media and globalization. Answer the following questions in an essay format and use evidence from the texts and lectures to support your ideas:
What is the connection between the pervasive media environment and the global village?
How do media influence economics, politics, and culture in ways that positively and/or negatively affect the global village?
Do you believe that McLuhan’s global village or Lule’s global village of Babel better describes our world? Why?
Requirements:
A high-quality paper will have strong organizational structure, which means that the paper should have an introductory paragraph that contains a thesis statement and a preview of the main points of the paper.
The paper should have succinct, well-reasoned, and well-integrated answers to the assignment questions. The body of the paper, where you answer the key questions and apply the course concepts/theories, will be clearly organized.
The paper will also have a concluding paragraph that summarizes the purpose of the paper and any important final thoughts.
The paper should have a title and reference page formatted according to APA (7th edition) style conventions.The paper should be double-spaced with 12-point font and the length of the paper should be ~ 2000 words (e.g., between 7 and 8 double-spaced pages, excluding the title and references pages).
