TERM PAPER TOPIC: The Role of Women in the Media

Description: Your paper is to examine how women are portrayed, presented and constructed within ONE mass media item. This is to be done through a close analysis of ONE readily available and widely consumed example, such as one episode of a television program, a magazine (or one article of a magazine), a song or music video, reporting of a sporting event, etc. The example you choose must be submitted, or its whereabouts (e.g., URL) indicated, with the term paper proposal and when the final paper is submitted.

Your paper MUST use and apply the readings and perspectives discussed in this class; papers that do not do so will fail. Your paper must also provide evidence of the GCP mandated ethical reasoning skills that have been developed for the course:

“Ethical Reasoning: Reasoning about right and wrong human conduct. It requires students to be able to assess their own ethical values and the social context of problems, recognize ethical issues in a variety of settings, think about how different ethical perspectives might be applied to ethical dilemmas and consider the ramifications of alternative actions. Students Ethical Self Identity evolves as they practice ethical decision making skills and learn how to describe and analyze positions on ethical issues:

Discuss/analyze with depth and clarity both fundamental principles that influence ethical thinking and conduct, and their origins.
Identify, present, and accurately explain the details of the ethical theory or theories used.
Recognize ethical issues even when presented in a complex, multilayered context and grasps relationships among the issues.
Apply ethical perspectives/concepts to a difficult ethical question, and considers the full implications of the application.
State and defend a position while responding to objections, assumptions, and implications of different ethical perspectives/concepts.”
