What you provide should be enough for us to see or very easily locate what the source and example is.

Task

What to do

1. Find a media source (e.g., a newspaper or magazine articleeither print or onlinea portion of a fiction book, a comic/cartoon, a TV show or movie clip) that illustrates or provides a good example of any course concept that we have talked about in lecture, or that you have read about in the assigned chapters of the course textbook.

Please make sure your example illustrates a different concept or phenomenon than those you have talked about in other mini-assignments youve submitted for this course. You may still choose a concept from the sections of the course that other mini-assignment covered (social beliefs and judgments, prejudice) if you wish; just make sure the actual concepts you talk about in this assignment are not the same ones you have already talked about in other assignments.

Include the media clipping/image/link on the first page of a Word document or PDF. What you provide should be enough for us to see or very easily locate what the source and example is. You could take a screenshot of an online source, scan a print source, or provide a link to a media clip available online. If you link a media clip and only a certain portion of the clip is relevant, be sure to tell us the timeframe of the relevant portion (e.g., 2:28-4:15). If you send an article and only some portion is relevant, please indicate, which section (e.g., by highlighting or writing instructions about which paragraphs/lines). Please be specific!

Be sure to indicate the source information (e.g., name of magazine/newspaper/ TV show/movie and where it was retrieved from), and bold this information.

2. On a second page of the same Word document or PDF:
a) identify which social psychological concept/principle, or phenomenon is relevant to the media source, please bold the concept or principle of you will discuss
b) define the course concept or principle
c) explain why and how that course concept is relevant to the media source that you have chosen (or why the media source is a good example of that concept).
How to do it

Your media example itself (#1) should appear or be linked on the first page of your Word or PDF document.

Your responses to question 2 (a, b, and c) should appear on the second page of the same Word or PDF document and should take up no more than one third of a page (single-spaced) for all parts together.

Please number your answers 1-2 (with a, b, and c for question 2). Be sure to draw on course material to answer all parts of question 2.
