Instruction: In “Laying a Foundation for Studying Race, Gender, Class, and the Media”, Rebecca Ann Lind notes that, “ultimately, the media helps maintain a status quo in which certain groups in our society routinely have access to power and privilege whereas others do not” (2019, 2). She asks,
“How can the media not affect us in some way?” (2019, 1).For this activity, you are going to discuss audience, content, and production, with respect to the documentaries featured in this Module, all the while speaking to the quotes noted above. You do not need to discuss each term with regard to each film, nor each film or concept equally BUT, make sure each concept and each film are discussed, AND that each term is defined, as per Lind (2019). In other words, you will answer:
How do each of these (3) documentaries demonstrate how the media affects us, and maintains the status quo (among certain populations)?Your thesis should speak directly to one or both of the quotes above, the documentaries as a whole, and the 3 concepts. This should be 300-500 words in length, and use in-text (Author date, page number) citations. As you will only use course materials, I do not need a References section.-end
