For this assignment, reflect on the work I am submitting and construct a completed Final Project. In addition to revising my previous work into a cohesive paper, you will add one additional component. Select a second issue that is related to at least one of my chosen artifacts and discuss how it conveys information about this second issue, synthesizing the two issues. Topics include:

Race/ethnicity
Sexuality
Gender
Social and economic class
Violence
Indecency/free speech

****For example, if you are working with the issue of violence and how it relates to your chosen popular culture artifacts, select one of those artifacts and discuss how it might relate to gender.

Make sure to cover the following topics:
– Discuss the history of your social issue as expressed in popular culture in general.
– Define the audience for each of your artifact categories and explore whether this audience has changed in any way. – –
– Consider whether this audience is local, global, or regional.
– Discuss what each of your chosen popular culture artifacts communicates regarding your issue.
– Analyze how at least one additional social issue relates to at least one of your popular culture artifacts.
Race/ethnicity
Sexuality
Gender
Social and economic class
Violence
Indecency/free speech
– Analyze access and distribution limitations for each of your popular culture artifacts.
– Determine whether or not access and distribution forces control content. Explain your reasoning.
– Explain whether your popular culture artifacts send messages that define social values or provoke change.
– Analyze how your chosen popular culture artifacts connect or do not connect with your personal values.

The final paper should include:

– a full revision of the Milestones from Weeks 2, 3, and 4. Check for overall structure and appropriate transitions between sections of the text.
– the full listings for each of your three popular culture artifacts on your references page.
– Use the Final Project Worksheet from Week 1 to help with this.

– At least five additional references to the required, optional, and/or student-contributed resources.

___________________________________________________In Week 1’s Assignments, I selected the following social issues:
– Violence – Bullying and Cyber-bullying
I researched how this issue is approached in the field of popular culture.

In Week 2’s assignment, I selected two popular culture artifacts from the following categories and researched the history of my artifact categories as expressed in popular culture:
– Episodic moving image (TV shows—may be broadcast or streamed) “13 Reasons Why” (Netflix) all about bullying and suicide.
– Music videos – Pearl Jam’s Jeremy bullying and suicide.

In Week 3’s Assignment I investigated access and distribution of my popular culture artifacts.

In Week 4, I selected an additional artifact and looked at how this new artifact defines or disrupts “normal” in relationship to my issue today.
