Writing Homework Help

For this assignment, select an artifact that, in your opinion, unfairly creates a negative bias or promotes a negative stereotype about one population of society. The pop culture artifact can be a media source (song, movie, television program), a product or other tangible associated with pop culture.  Provide a link to this artifact (or an image). Explain why you have selected this artifact, and why you feel that this creates a negative bias. Describe how you would re-design or re-write the script of this artifact to change the way others would view this population.

In your paper:

• Provide a specific link to pop culture artifact used for this paper or an image of the artifact. 
• Discuss the artifact in depth.  Explain the stereotypes or biases that you see being perpetuated in the artifact. 
• Discuss the role of popular culture in communicating harmful or incorrect stereotypes or biases.  Using the concepts, terminology, and ideas within Units 1-7, recommendations for how people can identify and correct views that are incorrect or harmful.
• Re-design or re-write this artifact to change the way others could view this population without the negative bias.  Be sure to support this revised artifact with factual examples of the culture.
