The final assignment for this course will be a project that you design based on your interests and goals as a scholar. It should draw on the course concepts that we cover in class, should provide clear exploration and criticism of an aspect of media, and encourage its audience to shift their perspective and develop media literacy. For an academic research paper, I will expect a 7-9 page paper (excluding reference page, and incorporating at least 5 academic references).
My topic is:
Video Game Violence and Media Effects: Examine how video games portray violence and how it may affect youth, then suggest strategies for parents and gamers to foster media literacy.
