For this blog, I want you to deal with these questions: what is your topic? What is the importance of the topic in the evolution of mass media? What kind of position will you develop in the paper? What kind of sources will be available and what will be the best sources to use?
I haven't chosen a specific topic yet, but here are a few possible topics I've been thinking of.
Possible topics:
1)Internet and it's influence on society- Facebook: Has brought people together
Sorces: Movie: The social Network, Internet
2)How a specific court case has changed media and communication- sacco and vanzetti trial
Sources: Books: The right to Privacy, Internet
3)The flinstones- how it was the first cartoon to incoporate actual living people into it's series
Sources: Episodes, Internet
4) How google has changed mass media and communication
Sources:Internet, books
5) Star wars- First series to incorporate a perfect society (utopia). ( Demonstrated what everyone wanted)
Sources: Episodes, books, internet
Also, for this blog you should explain, in your own terms, how you understand the concepts of "reason" and "evidence" as well as the term "argument" (it is not what most think). We will go over what you write in class.
Reason is why you have chosen the topic you are talking about.
Evidence is the data and information which you used to support your work.
Argument is simply your opinion of the matter. How you view it, agree or disagree with it.
