  • Fake News Forensics: Media Construction of Children

    This assignment asks you to critically examine how the media constructs childhood in the context of crimeespecially when children or youth are framed as “monsters,” “thugs,” or “innocents.” You’ll select a sensationalized or misleading news story involving a child or teen as the offender, victim, or symbol, and unpack how the framing impacts public perception, policy, and justice.

    Assignment Instructions:

    Find a Sensationalized Article

    Choose a crime-related article involving a minor (under 18) that exhibits bias or sensationalism. Topics may include:

    • Youth gun violence
    • Juvenile superpredators
    • School shootings
    • Children accused of violent crimes
    • High-profile victim cases (e.g., JonBent Ramsey, Gabriel Fernandez)
    • “Innocent child” vs. “evil child” tropes
    • Tamir Rice and media
    • Central Park Five (then vs. now)
    • Affluenza teen case
    • TikTok crime trend moral panics
    • The Gabby Petito case vs. missing children

    Sources can include traditional media (newspapers, TV) or digital platforms (blogs, TikTok, Twitter/X, Reddit, etc.).

    Real Facts Behind the Story

    • Use at least 2 reputable sources to fact-check the story
    • Share what really happened, including context (e.g., juvenile sentencing laws, police response, community reaction)

    Framing Bias or Misinformation

    • How is the child portrayed (monster, victim, innocent, threat)?
    • Identify signs of bias (racial, gendered, emotional language, stereotypes)
    • Was there a lack of systemic critique (e.g., the justice system, media industry)?

    Reflection: Why It Matters

    • What impact could this article have on public perception, justice policies, or youth treatment in the system?
    • How do distorted portrayals shape the publics understanding of crime and children?
    • Upload to Canvas as a PDF, Word doc, or Google Slides
    • Video: Upload your video file or share a link (YouTube unlisted, Google Drive, etc.)
    • Include a brief reference list (in text or in video caption/description)

    Students should include citations:

    • Written: In-text citations + reference list
  • Philosophy Question

    Using the material on moral compasses from Weeks 1 and 2, write a paper of no less than 600 words that accomplishes the following:

    • Choose one of the two templates, APA or MLA, and follow directions. The information below offers an elaboration on these directions. You can use the documentation style preferred by your degree, but pick one of the two templates.
    • In a section titled “Theories” identify no more than two Frameworks identified in Brown (Consequentialist, Duty, or Virtue). Be sure to ponder the Deliberative process, Focus, Definition of Ethical Conduct, and Motivation in the chart listed in the discussion of frameworks. Do NOT pick all three.
    • Note, you are not locked into this or these Frameworks as your personal disposition is likely to become more refined as you go through the course and learn more theories and more about these theories. The goal here is to ponder how various frameworks fit your personality. This goodness of fit is more important than the Framework(s) selected.
    • In the section titled Issue Identified you will identify one and only one and only one issue from Markkulas Ethics Spotlight (Gen AI and Ethics, Violence at the Capitol, Ethics and Systemic Racism, etc.). The choice is yours. Briefly summarize the situation and why you believe you feel it is an ethical problem.
    • From here, this assignment is about critical thinking as much as ethics. Critical thinking involves problem solving methods. What matters is how well you address each part and that you think your way through the method. In this case, the assignment uses Browns method for Applying the Frameworks to Cases. What your teacher will look for is how well you use this method to justify your conclusion. Please do not skip any parts and be sure to address each step adequately.
    • USE the template and DO NOT delete the section headings.
    • Note that all papers must be double-spaced and follow either APA or MLA formatting.

    Submission Instructions:

    • A 35-page Word Document
    • Must include in text citations (showing where resources were used) and references. Note, citations are NOT just for quotations. They are required for summaries and paraphrases as well. If you write a sentence based on a resource you used, you need a citation.
