research paper
Please do by yourself we will use turnitin to check
10-12 pages
1. Use the theory to explain how it happends and why it happend
2.what are talk about and what the specific media
3. the effect
4.how the theory effect the story step by step
5.Begin: write the theory and step by step how it works
.I will expect you to
address a specific effect and associate it with a specific theory
or theories. Because we’re not going to cover all of them until the end of the semester, you may need to check your text and other sources concerning the theories which are most often applied to the topic you consider. You will need
An introduction that clearly states your thesis statement which should state the effect you are examining, the
theory which explains it, and the implication, theory, and your major points.
A literature review which describes the effect, the concerns about it and summarizes the research which has
been done.
The theory which explains the effect. Here is a detailed (step by step) analysis of the theory(ies) which explain
who the effect is produced and for whom. You will explain in more detail some of the work which you
mentioned in the literature review. (See how it’s done in academic journals, if you need some examples.)
The next section is the “so what” section. Here you discuss the implications of the research, the effect and
what should be done by individuals, groups, policy-makers, etc.
Summary should be a single paragraph that thumbnails your work
Use APA style —
There are several links in your syllabus, but if you Google APA style, you will get lots of
resources.
10-15 sources are minimum
expectation.
Don’t pick a super-broad topic
like “effects of TV violence on children” — be sure to narrow it somewhat. See me
if you have a question about how to do that.
DON’T spend the entire paper talking about the effect
. Spend four or five pages doing that and spend the rest
applying the theory to the effect, explaining how the theory explains what is going on and how it has been used as
a basis for published research. Your introduction and conclusion should address why the theories you have
chosen are appropriate to the effect you are discussing. You are
not
doing a “TV Violence” paper…you are doing a
theoretical
paper about some aspect of television violence (or some other topic) and how particular theories
explain the processes involved. Please don’t forget that distinction, because I have students every semester who
do, and their grades reflect it.
o
What that means is that you will think in terms of parallel construction. If the theory you use describes the
effect process in three steps, then show how those three steps are reflected in the topic you use…. i.e.
adolescent girls identify with the young fashion models, see their behavior as “useful”, etc….(Social
learning theory) You will obviously want to go into more depth than I have in this abbreviated example.
You will not find everything you need to write this paper in books or articles. You are going to have to think about
the information you find and
make the connections, the evaluations and the sense of it yourself.
Pay attention to details:
Spell check, grammar check. Proof read. A general rule of thumb is this: Never turn in
a paper the day after you write it. Always plan for an extra day during which you have had some sleep, some food,
and some time to re-read it after it has been printed out. Believe me, if you do that, you will always find mistakes
or at the very least, phrasing you can improve or thoughts you can clarify. It can mean a full letter grade’s
difference for the paper.
Use headings:
You are making a case for a specific theory and its application to a particular media effect. Help
me understand your arguments, your structure, and clearly identify the parts of your paper. Mediocre papers tend
to run together. Make sure yours is clear, understandable and the structure is clearly identified.
Think about structure:
Don’t just sit down at the computer and start writing. Go back to what you learned in
English comp. You need a beginning, middle and an end. You need to build a dramatic curve. You should have a
clear introduction that tells me what your thesis is and how you’re going to prove it. Whatever those three to five
points are should be identified in the intro. They should then be the headings for the major sections of your
paper. Your conclusion should remind me what you set out to do and how you did it.
