final paper 331

/in /by

My choice topic for the final is the injustice that people of color face in the United States and how media plays a huge part in it. I choose this topic because being an African American woman and a mother I notice that in our society there is a bias that even myself don’t sometimes notice that I have towards other minorities. Being that we live in such a progressive society it is hard to believe that people still experience injustice based on things that are beyond their control such as their skin tone or where they are from. I believe that media plays a big role in today’s age because that is where most people develop their bias that lead to injustice of specific group of people.

  • Use at least one specific interpretative tool from the course to explain each of your selected examples. You should use a different tool for each example, so you should use at least three different tools in your paper.
  • Assess the effectiveness or impact of each representation. In other words, how well did the representation present the subject? How effective was it? What impact did this representation have? What specific elements of the representation lead you to your conclusions?
