Discuss how the media item reflects or challenges dominant cultural values, norms, and social identities.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate your ability to analyze media context using sociological questions and concepts. The paper should first describe the media item, then offer a sociological analysis of the content, and conclude with a discussion of an alternative media representation. This assignment provides you the opportunity to both critically analyze a media item and develop a response or alternative version of this item that both incorporates your critique and seeks an alternative representation. Your analysis and critique should incorporate theories and key concepts from this course including inequality, gender, race, class, social roles/socialization, impression management etc.

Using what you have learned in this course, critically analyze the social meanings and representations presented in the media content. Discuss how the media item reflects or challenges dominant cultural values, norms, and social identities.
Describe an alternative representation of your media item. How could the media item be changed or reimagined to represent social life differently?
