Past Assignments
CPMS 225:
I chose the group project where we explored how media helps build and break communities. This group project really allowed me to put my leadership skills to use. I helped guide my group in the right direction and we all worked well together to get our project done. I learned a lot from this project because it emphasized to me how much media can alter our communities. I analyzed the benefits of media and the drawbacks that media can possibly create. I feel that this project really helped me increase my researching skills and encouraged me to explore the differing views and opinions of the media. I also have strong views about how the media displays information such as framing and stereotyping. Being a black woman in this time period it is important to stay keen on how the media is portraying various groups of people. This assignment allowed me to further explore the topics that I have been curious about.
