Discuss

These posts are to be discussions and NOT reiterations of the material. You should bring original thoughts to the conversation and NOT simply summarize the information. Think critically and bring to light ideas and/or concepts that are new and share a different perspective.

Discussion Post Question:

As the Media Literacy textbook states, people do not typically prefer media messages that are too far removed from their own experiences.

· What are the personal implications of this?

· What are the social and cultural implications of this?

· How can you engage with media in a more globally responsible way if the messages don’t align with your own cultural experiences?

Directions for each discussion mini-essay post:

· Think critically about your answers and write thoughtful and insightful sentences.

Make sure it is written in your own words No plagiarism allowed or AI detected.

· Original posts should be 300 words long. Responses to your peers’ posts have no word limit, but to receive full credit you must respond to specific ideas from their original post, not simply indicate /that you agree or that you liked it. Good posts should be concise and to the point and should not ramble or deviate from your point. Posts that are way under or way over the word count will result in a loss of points.

· This is not a case of how much you say, but rather how you reason and support your argument.

· Proper grammar, sentence structure, and paragraph-format are required.

· Refrain from just “agreeing” or “liking” your fellow classmate’s response
