This assignment requires you to examine 2 news related articles. These articles must come from a major publication, such as The Seattle Times, The New York Times, The Chicago Times, CNN, so on and so forth. It doesn’t have to be a newspaper, it could be a local news source site such as Komo or Kiro – and it is not restricted to Seattle by any means. Do your research and make sure your articles come from a proper news source. If you do not use a legitimate major news or media outlet, you will lose points. If you are unsure, email me.
<<br>
<<br>For this assignment, I would like you to do the following:
<<br>
<<br>Locate two (2) articles from news sources where the gender of the offender/perpetrator and victim are opposing. One article should cover a crime where the offender is Male and the victim Female. The second article should provide the opposite scenario: Female offender/Male victim. The articles do not have to be current but should be no older than 10 years.
<<br>In a 3-4 page, double-spaced paper with in-text citations and references, address the following:
<<br>
<<br>Compare and contrast the language used, images, coverage, punishment/consequences (if known), and societal response (READ THE COMMENTS from the general public) to the crime, its perpetrator, and victim, paying particular attention to differences based on gender.
<<br>
<<br>Articulate an opinion or position regarding these findings. Your paper should be supported with examples and should draw connections to course materials.
<<br>
<<br>This means:
<<br>Provide clear examples. How is the language the same or different? In what ways? How do you know?
<<br>Provide details about the crimes but do NOT simply repeat content from your articles, and do NOT plagiarize.
<<br>Describe your thoughts and feelings about your two cases? How does your analysis of these cases connect back to what you have been learning in the course overall?
<<br>
