I need someone to write an 8-10 page paper for my communication course. I have listen the exact instructions below. I am also linking the google drive that has access to all of the class slides so that if you need any additional information it is there. Please do the best of your ability and follow the directions as best can. There won’t be a lot of time given for this assignment as it is urgent I get this in as fast as possible, so please do your best and I will be sure to tip. Comm 125 FINAL PAPER OR PROJECT GUIDELINES For those of you planning to write a ‘traditional’ final paper for class, it should focus on a single research area of interest to you. This can be one of the areas we are covering in class (e.g., childhood development and the media; media violence; media, gender and sexuality; media, fear and emotions; media and stereotyping; media, health & well-being; political communication; or digital activism), or it can be on a media-effects topic that you are interested in, or familiar with from another class. The key is that it involve some aspect of media/communication effects on your area of focus. Once you have chosen a substantive area, your paper should consist of the following: 1. An introduction that states your topic and makes the case that it is interesting/important. For example, you might be interested in the potential effects of media representations of women on the attitudes, beliefs, opinions, and/or behaviors of viewers. 2. Summarize the existing literature/research on your chosen topic. This should mostly be based on class readings and lectures, but should include at least one piece of research that we did not read in class. This additional piece or pieces can be an article referenced in the readings, something you read in another class, or something you found through a ‘Google Scholar’ search. In reviewing this body of research be sure to talk about the theories used, the data and methods used, and the general findings, including where these findings seem contradictory or incomplete, or no longer relevant. 3. Make your own, more specific argument, including what theory you are drawing on, what your research question or questions are, and what hypotheses you are interested in testing. For example, if you are generally interested in the effects of media representations of women, you might use ‘observational learning and modeling’ theory to hypothesize that watching strong female characters in science fiction movies (e.g., Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel) has positive influences on attitudes about gender equality and/or reduces gender stereotypes. State your hypotheses and the logic behind them as clearly and straightforwardly as possible. E.g., ‘H1: Viewing superhero movies with strong female characters increases support for gender equality in the workplace.’ 4. Describe how you might try to test your theory and hypotheses. This should include the following: a. What ‘population’ are you interested in testing this on? U.S. adolescents? All U.S. adults? High School students? b. What is your specific ‘independent variable?’ E.g., viewing the 2017 film, Wonder Woman. c. What is your specific ‘dependent variable?’ E.g., Responses to one or more questions that you think measure support or opposition to gender equality in the workplace. d. What is at least one ‘mediating variable?’ E.g., responses to one or more questions that measure gender stereotypes — that is you think watching Wonder Woman will reduce gender stereotypes, which in turn leads to greater support for gender equality in the workplace. e. What is at least one ‘moderating variable?’ E.g., you think that this hypothesized effect will exist for high school age girls but not older women, or for males but not females. f. Any control variables? 1 5. Describe in reasonable detail what method you will use to test this theory and why. A lab experiment? A field experiment? A panel survey? A social network analysis? 6. Describe what data you will use. E.g., if doing an experiment you would recruit 100 undergraduates from the University of Pennsylvania. 7. End with a brief conclusion about what you hope to find and why it matters. Your paper should be between 8-10 double spaced pages using 12-point type (approximately 2,500 to 3,500 words, not including your reference page or other appended material) and should be sent to me as a Word document. If you would like to collaborate with one or more of your fellow students on this paper, or if you choose to do a final project (individually or collaboratively) that is different than this (e.g., produce a public service ad intended to increase voter turnout by college students, along with a short description of the theory underlying your expected effect and how you might assess its impact) you must first get approval from Professor Delli Carpini. All papers or projects should be emailed to Professor Delli Carpini (mxd@asc,upenn.edu) by no later than 5 PM on Thursday April 29. Feel free to talk to your recitation leaders and/or Professor Delli Carpini if you have any questions. 2 Purchase answer to see full attachment Tags: new media political communication propaganda efforts multiple platforms media communication effects User generated content is uploaded by users for the purposes of learning and should be used following our company’shonor code & terms of service.

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics

Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.

BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES

In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.

General Guidelines

• The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
• Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE

MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:

Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).

Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).

Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:

Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR

For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.

Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).

Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).

These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:

Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
