Course Outcomes
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Develop questions about fundamental aspects of human behavior that inform personal assumptions, beliefs, and values using evidence from the social sciences
Investigate major developments in the progression of social scientific thought for informing critical questions that drive social scientific inquiry
Utilize fundamental approaches to social scientific research in addressing questions related to human behaviors
Articulate the value of the social sciences for their impact on contemporary issues
Overview
Advertisements can tell you a lot more than just what products to buy. If you analyze them using social science questions and approaches, they can also tell you a lot about individuals, groups, cultural identity, and a society. Biases, beliefs, and values of the companies selling the products and the people they are marketed to can also be found. Sometimes these reflections can be positive, sometimes negative. Using social science approaches can help you analyze the ads you see and make sense of the large amounts of information you are presented with every day.
Directions
Complete this project by addressing the criteria below. You will work on parts of the project in each module and receive instructor feedback. Your final submission will be revisions of the work you do throughout the course. Be sure to incorporate instructor feedback from each assignment along the way. Read these guidelines and rubric criteria closely, and reach out to your instructor if you have any questions.
Part One: Advertisement Analysis
In this section, you will analyze the four advertisements you selected earlier in the course. Use social science approaches to gather specific information from them. As you conduct your analyses, think about what these advertisements say about the companies selling the products, the organizations making the ads, the people purchasing the products, and society as a whole.
Determine how individuals and groups are represented in the advertisements.
What audiences are the advertisements trying to reach?
What unspoken or underlying messages do you think the ads might be sending?
Identify stereotyped group behavior in the advertisements.
What are the advertisements saying about the behavior of the groups represented in them?
What underlying messages do the advertisements send about the group behaviors in them and the audiences they assume will be consuming the products?
Determine how different cultures are represented in the advertisements.
How do the ads represent culture? Are any stereotypes being used?
What unspoken or underlying messages do you think the ads might be sending about culture?
Discuss how ethical issues in the social sciences impact advertising. Look beyond the economic effects of advertisements and consider the following questions to help address this prompt:
Do the ads confirm biases? Do they rely on stereotypes? Do they support social change? Do they stay neutral on social or political movements? Should they get involved in social or political movements?
Why might it be important for advertisers and companies in a diverse world to be as inclusive and unbiased as possible?
Part Two: Social Science Questions
The answers that come from an analysis can often lead to more questions. In this section, you will use the information you found from your advertisement analyses to ask a broader social science question. You do not need to answer the question, but you do need to talk about how you might study your advertisements using the skills and knowledge you’ve gained in this course.
Propose a finalized social science research question based on your analysis of the advertisements you chose.
Think beyond the minor details from your analysis and consider what the ads say about individuals, groups, institutions, or society.
What is the meaning or significance of the ads? For example, you might be interested in ethical issues related to advertising. You might want to explore how current events influence the content of ads. Or maybe you would like to ask how common themes in ads could impact an audience’s self-concept.
Discuss how you used a social science perspective to develop your research question.
Explain how you used social science concepts, perspectives, or approaches to write your research question.
Explain one major development in the social sciences that may have influenced your research question.
The major development could include an important event, a discovery, the rejection of an old theory, acceptance of a new theory, or a change in culture that affected the field.
How might these changes in thinking and research have affected the conclusions drawn about your advertisements and the questions asked about them?
Part Three: Reflection
In this section, you will reflect on your experience using social science perspectives to analyze advertisements and ask research questions. You will consider how your personal beliefs, assumptions, and values influenced the question you developed, and explain why knowledge of the social sciences is important to understanding yourself, other people, and the world around you.
Describe how your assumptions, beliefs, and/or values influenced the way you analyzed your advertisements.
Consider how your perceptions of the social world may have influenced the way you viewed your advertisements. Did it/they cause you to make assumptions about the people in the ads? Did you focus on certain advertisements, or parts of advertisements as a result? How might someone with a different set of beliefs view your advertisements?
Discuss how social science perspectives or approaches could be used to process information.
Focus on the social science perspectives or approaches you feel would be the most beneficial for analyzing the information you are presented with every day.
For example, would analyzing ads on social media from the political science perspective help you better understand a company’s political stance on issues? What perspective would help you determine if there was a possible link between the length of a commercial and its intended audience? Would examining an ad targeted at caregivers from a sociological perspective help you understand the meaning of family in various cultures?
Explain how looking at the world from social science perspectives may impact your personal life.
How might using social science skills help you process and understand the information you use in your life?
Explain how examining issues from social science perspectives may affect your community relationships.
Think about challenges or opportunities in your community. How might applying social science perspectives to those issues benefit your community?
Discuss how being more informed about the social sciences may help you understand global contemporary issues.
Consider how understanding the ways social scientists examine human behaviors could influence the way you approach global challenges and questions.

Data sources, are they reliable?
Post 1: Initial Response
As you read about studies in newspapers and magazines, the actual data that was collected, which could be thousands of data entries, are not included in the article. Rather, you will likely find a visual representation or graph of the data. Many times, these displays can be misleading or exaggerated to get you to think a certain way. For this discussion, you will conduct an internet search to find an article that includes a graph or visual display. You will analyze the graph or visual display to determine whether the graph is misleading, exaggerated, or misrepresents the data. Then you will write a descriptive essay with a minimum of 5 paragraphs to address the following questions:
Consider what you know about misleading or exaggerated graphs.
When you looked at the graph for the first time, do you think it effectively showed the intended information? Why or why not?
Answer one of the two questions below.
Do you feel this graph was misleading in any way? Explain.
If you feel the graph is not misleading, why do you feel it is appropriate? Explain.
Would you have designed this graph differently? Such as design a different type, including other variables, or provide different labels? Why or why not?
Once you have found a graph or visual display in a news article, magazine, or internet story, draft your descriptive essay using the questions above as a guide. Do not simply answer each question, but put these ideas together into a cohesive descriptive essay with five paragraphs using the guidelines below.
When planning your essay keep in mind that APA formatting should be used. The essay should include a title page, a reference page, be double-spaced, and written in 12- point Times New Roman font. You are expected to use at least one outside source for this essay. Cite outside sources in proper APA format. You can find numerous APA resources in the Writing Center Writing Reference Library on the Research, Citation, and Plagiarism page. Resources from course readings, textbook, or other library sources can be used to support your discussion. Any time information is directly quoted, be sure to cite all sources by including in-text citations and a list of references. This does include a citation in APA format for the visual display you used.
Your writing should include a highly developed purpose and viewpoint. Descriptive writing is very detailed and should convince your reader through ideas. Your descriptive essay should also be written in Standard English and demonstrate exceptional content, organization, style, grammar, and mechanics. There should be no evidence of plagiarism. If you are unsure about what constitutes plagiarism, please review the plagiarism policy.

You will analyze a film and draw upon 2 course readings in order to apply specific concepts and ideas to your object. The expected word count of the film analysis is 1500 words. This assignment should include a summary of the film but in order to move into a critical discussion of the film. You are expected to closely analyze the film in order to discuss how your film offers insights for queer and trans studies. You can consider how the film challenges, aligns, or expands a reading and its concepts. Consider closely analyzing a specific scene and to move away from a general summary to reflect on the specific narrative and aesthetic decisions in the film.

how black girls experience the most racial and gendered discrimination in educational institutions. 
For the introduction use the popular new article “ in schools, black girls confront both racial and gender bias” by Brooke LePage and the article “black students experience trauma from racist incidents at school” by isoke Samuel and James wellemeyer to see how people feel about this topic from both perspectives. Explain what I am going to argue, how I am going to support my argument and explain why it matters.
For the body paragraphs, Establish ethos with the argument, and use the academic articles “black female adolescents and racism in schools: experience in a color blind society” by Nicole m Joseph and “ is the employment of school resource officers in high schools associated with black girls discipline outcomes?” By John A. Williams. Also develop logos to consider and treat the people that disagree like they have a reasonable for their beliefs. How do they identify with their stance using pentad.
For the conclusion, do a quick reminder of what is at stake, look at arguments from the popular article “black students experience trauma from racist incidents at school” by isoke Samuel and James wellemeyer. Make a specific call to action connected to race and discrimination against black girls in educational institutions
