choose ONE of the prompts below to answer. Remember to clearly incorporate course readings into your responses.
Option 1: How much do you think people are impacted or influenced by media communications each day? In what ways?
Option 2: Can you name some instances throughout history when mass media were blamed for certain effects? Any recent examples?
Your discussion posts should be clear, and free from spelling and grammar mistakes. It is highly suggested that you write your posts in a Word document FIRST, and then copy them into the DB. This allows you to appropriately proofread.
Original posts should be a minimum of 250 words.
Each original post should include at least two different references to course readings. You must use in-text APA citations and include the full reference at the end of your original post. Feel free to use outside references as well, as long as they are from a peer-review academic journal or textbook.
Be sure to respond to at least ONE peer’s post. You must respond to their original post and not to a comment on an original post. Responding to comments on your own post is encouraged but does NOT count towards your peer response.
Peer posts should be a minimum of 150 words
