Write an essay about Media and communication.
Essay requirements: You should adopt some position on the assigned question and defend that position. I need a 6 page essay, must be typed double-spaced and with one-inch margins. April 10 is the deadline for the essay.
Essay Question: Find a current list of the 10 or so highest grossing US movies and top-rated prime-time television shows and/or cable TV shows. (Box office revenues and TV show ratings are published each week in trade magazines such as Variety, Broadcasting & Cable, and Entertainment Weekly, and in the Wednesday "Life" section of USA Today.) [Alternatively, you may focus on popular film and TV now in a different country or region.] Note common genres, themes, and formats among this selection of the nation's most popular media content. Discuss the relationship between movie and television content and contemporary issues in society. So, generally consider what today's movies and TV shows tell us about the times in which we live, and then zero in on a compelling, specific dimension of TV and film depictions and social reality. For example, what real-life issues are ignored, exaggerated, glamorized, or otherwise distorted and what do such distortions tell us about contemporary society?
