2) A discussion of how this work illustrates or examines the reciprocal relationship between culture and technology, and of its ethical and/or social justice implications.

3) Your own reaction to the text, including your own thesis statement. You might discuss why you chose this work and how your reading informed your understanding of media and communication.

4) Your application of the texts main argument(s) and/or methods of inquiry to a contemporary media phenomenon that interests you but that is not explicitly discussed within the text itself. How does the texts argument and/or methods help you to understand the media phenomenon in a new and/or more complex way? Alternatively, you might revisit an older works thesis and apply it to a specific aspect of the media environment today.
