My research question is

How did elite social networks and financial resources enable Jeffrey Epstein to sustain sex trafficking operations while avoiding accountability for long periods of time?

The Bulk of the Classs Assignment

Students in this course will develop a qualitative media analysis project of their own design. This

includes everything from creating a literature review and research question to data collection and

analysis.

Your Literature Review and Research Question(s) will be a 3-5 page document where you overview

contemporary scholarship on a topic of your choice. There is no official number of sources,

however you should anticipate having at least 6-10 to demonstrate you have a somewhat sufficient

understanding of the material and to help you identify gaps in the literature.

Your Methodology is where you explain what your data source is going to be, why it is going to be

reliable data source, provide some basic background information on the data, and a bit about how

you plan to analyze it. It should be no more than 2 pages.

Your Data is your data. Show me your compiled dataset.

General Paper Guidelines

1. Formatting: Written assignments (so not data collection/preliminary coding) must be

in Calibri 11, Aptos 11, or Times New Roman 12 font, double spaced, and with standard

margins. Any paper not submitted in this format will not be approved.

2. All written assignments must have in-text citations and a reference sheet, both in proper

ASA format.

3. A formal academic writing style is expected. The degree to which this matters increases is

raised with each draft.

4. Full in-text citations and a reference sheet are expected with each draft. The reference

sheet does not count toward the page limit.

5. Anything past the page limit will not be read/not counted as submitted.

6. Doing a paper like this requires synthesizing, analytic skills, and the ability to write with

depth in a concise manner. This means finding where arguments and points overlap

between different pieces and linking them together in the same paragraph, sometimes the same sentence. It also means learning to boil down articles to a few key points and

arguments and learning how to line them all up in a logical order. This is the point of the

paper’s design. To teach you to develop your own ideas and process a large amount of

information, synthesize it, and present your own theory-based analysis in a clear and

concise manner.

7. Avoid the use of unanalyzed quotes.

8. I am always happy to look over rough drafts. However you need to email me your draft

beforehand and/or provide a hard copy in person. If you are unsure about something or

want feedback before submission, please visit my office hours.

9. To help you with both the assignments and the readings an additional reading and writing

guide has been posted to Canvas.

Above all else: BE BOLD. What matters here is the work you put into thinking big and making

connections between theory and the empirical world. It involves build reasoning skills above all

else. What matters to me is that you are taking the effort to build the analysis and explanations you

need. When it comes to theory there are some limits to this (ex: you can’t say that the class

domination theory of power posits that all groups engage in political action and have equal

chances for success) but we don’t all need identical readings. I will always favor creative and well

thought out theorizing over a cautious coverage of what is going on and not thinking about how it

connects to theory and/or everything and everyone else in the world.

Should have 7 or more documentation of the files and provide in citations

Controlling Images Assignment #2

Collins (1990) suggests that the media presents controlling images about gender, which restricts ideas about a group of people because they are represented in limited ways. For this assignment, you will select an outlet to investigate through visual media such as photographs, artwork, advertisements, slogans, or products represented in newspapers, fliers, or magazines.

Potential Media Sources:

• Or you may propose your own.

After selecting an outlet, narrow your search to contain a specific criterion depending on how the source is organized. This may be organized around a year, a theme, a single company, etc. It should also be spread across that selection, like multiple issues, different videos, or different posts. Make sure your choice leaves you with at least 15 photos or visual objects to analyze. Collect your data and use it to fill out the included spreadsheet.

Then, write a 750-1,000 word paper defining and explaining a controlling image those visuals add up to. In other words, if all media represented gender in a specific visual way, what would consumers be led to believe about the nature of that group? Your essay should also include written descriptions of several (at least five) of the items showing how they support the controlling image youve named.

You have to come up with your own controlling image and definition, you cant use Collins or someone elses that you might find on the internet. No citations are required, unless you use a source other than the database you are drawing from to fill in your spreadsheet.

• How you have seen this concept in:
• Your own life?
• AND/OR
• News, social media, or popular culture?

Sociological Reflection

• Answer the following reflection prompts:
• Why did you choose these 5 concepts?
• How did these 5 chapters change the way you see everyday behavior?
• Did anything challenge your assumptions or beliefs?
• Why might understanding these concepts be useful in your personal life and/or career?

Formatting Requirements

• Minimum of 500 words per journal (~ 100 words per chapter)
• Double-spaced,12-point font
• Written in complete sentences
• First-person writing encouraged

Prompt:Identify one assumption, ask a clarifying question, or offer an alternative interpretation using a Chapter 4 concept.

Peer Post:

In accordance with a constructionist viewpoint, ethnicity is something that individuals develop and mold via social interaction rather than something that is fixed or biological. In the movie Ethnicity and Identity, ethnicity is defined as a shared culture, customs, language, and genealogy, whereas nationality is defined as legal membership in a nation. The Peruvian event featured in the film is a prime illustration of this. While residing in the US, they offer traditional dishes, play music, and dress in traditional Peruvian attire. This demonstrates a blended identity since, despite being citizens of the United States, they still use clothing, cuisine, and celebrations to strongly express their Peruvian origin.

Boundaries and meaning influence ethnic identities, as explained in Chapter 4. According to characteristics like language or look, boundaries divide “us” from “them” (Cornell & Hartman, Ch. 4, boundary and meaning section). The speaker in The Struggles of the Ethnically Ambiguous describes being asked, “What are you?” all the time. This instance demonstrates how people attempt to categorize them even when they don’t obviously fit into one. This demonstrates that limits are not inherent but rather socially constructed and enforced by others. The distinction between statement and assignment is another crucial idea. Assertion is how people define themselves, while assignment is how others label them (Cornell & Hartman, Ch. 4, assertion vs. assignment section). In the same video, the speaker identifies as mixed, but others assign them an identity based only on appearance, which creates tension and misunderstanding.

Additionally, several forms of identity pressure are depicted in the videos. Outsiders who attempt to define the speaker’s identity based on physical characteristics are the source of pressure in The Struggles of the Ethnically Ambiguous. This demonstrates how individuals outside the group frequently have the authority to assign identities. Preserving Hmong Culture: Life After War, on the other hand, depicts community pressure. After migration, members strive to maintain their language, habits, and traditions. Insiders are in charge in this situation and promote cultural preservation. These two instances demonstrate how expectations inside the group, as well as external factors, can influence identification.

All things considered, the videos show how contact, culture, and power continuously create, preserve, and alter ethnicity. It is not set in stone; rather, it is subject to social influences and circumstances.

Discussion question: What impact, in your opinion, does social media have on people’s ability to claim their own ethnic identity as opposed to having it imposed by others?
