How does media, institutions, and society represent social differences, including differences of race, gender, nation, class, etc? How do such representations interact with existing stereotypes?
For this assignment, you will do a close reading of a primary source to form an analysis about how “otherness” is constructed in society. A PRIMARY SOURCE can include news articles, social media, advertisements, movies and television, interviews with government, experts, members of the public, etc., and more.
This assignment is an exercise in learning how to “read between the lines.” State where the source came from and draw on course concepts and theories to come up with an interpretive framework. Your original reading of the source should draw on and apply course concepts accurately and appropriately.
Include a quotation from one of the readings. Generally, quotations should express a key idea/ concept from a scholar. Quotations should be selected to add value to and enhance your own writing.
Provide at least one reference from the course readings in Chicago format.
