Project Two: Analysis of Social Institution of Family

You have writing assignments or projects throughout the course. The due dates for each project are noted in your syllabus. Please look at the project rubric and postings associated with the project for more information.

Each project should be in 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1 inch margins throughout. Each project must be between 600-650 words. (Don't exceed this limit by more than 100 words).

When relevant, use MLA or APA format on all projects unless noted. This means that when citing in-text use the MLA guidelines and include a work cited list. Also, include a header with your name, course name and number, date, and project name located in the top left corner of the first page. I strongly suggest visiting the Writing Lab (Building Y, 2nd Floor) to make an appointment for any questions about the structure, grammar, or focus of your projects. You can also use the Smarthinking Online Tutoring to help with your paper. Follow the directions when you click on the app located in the side navigation bar.

Project Two: Cultural Analysis of Social Institutions: This project focuses on the social institution of the family. It will help students to understand the “family” and how it is portrayed through current forms of media

Choose some form of media that depicts the family and use theories and ideas from the readings and lectures in this class to analyze it. The media can be TV, online video, song, book, podcast, movie, etc. IT SHOULD NOT BE OLDER THAN 2 YEARS, premiere date. Your paper should include the following sections:

1. Intro: Briefly describe the form of media you chose and story the author is telling-- Tell me how the family is being portrayed here.
2. Body paragraph: Describe in more detail the depiction of the family and how the family is portrayed and some events described in the media that affect the family.
3. Body paragraph: You can choose one aspect of how the family is portrayed and connect it back to class (i.e. structure, form, creation, etc).
4. Body paragraph: Connect back to class and the lecture. What is this form of media saying about family and how is this different (or not) from what we talked about in class? Does this media give an “accurate” portrayal of the family?
5. Conclusion: Tie everything together and make conclusions about what this media is saying on family based on what you learned in class.
