This projects focus is on the overwhelming aid given to Ukraine and to what extent has it been used for beneficial outcomes. pls scour any government documents such as congress official releases reports and other sources.
For this project you will write a 5-8 page paper that examines a specific piece of media of your choice. Your project will involve your own in-depth research and analysis on any media text, such as a film, television show, video, website, app, platform, device, magazine, newspaper, radio program, song, album, podcast, video game, celebrity, etc. You should apply to your media artifact two of the following types of analysis:
Textual analysis: assessment of formal and aesthetic elements of the text and interpretation of their meanings (style, narrative, genre, representations, ideology, rhetoric, design, etc.)
Cultural analysis: close look at how people and communities view or use it and what it means to them and their identities
Industrial analysis: examination of conditions of its production and distribution (ownership, business model, economics, regulation, etc.)
Technological analysis: breakdown of affordances of the tools, devices, and infrastructures that enable access and use and how they shape it
You should use this research and analysis to make an argument, which you should clearly define in a thesis statement in your introduction. Take a position in explaining your topic and support that position using evidence you find in your research. How do you think we should understand this media artifact based on the evidence you find in your research? Answer this question as clearly, specifically, and convincingly as possible through your paper.
The paper should be 5-8 pages in length. Your research should include at least 5 sources, of which at least 2 should be scholarly (published in a peer-reviewed academic journal or university press) and at most 1 can be from a class reading. You should cite these sources (and any others you consult beyond these) in your paper and in an attached bibliography, using a standard scholarly citation style (MLA, Chicago, APA, etc.). The criteria for assessment and grading of the paper are listed in the rubric below.
All written work must be double-spaced, in a 12-point font, with page numbers and one-inch margins, submitted as a PDF.
