Assignment 1 Essay 50%

 

Write a 2500-word essay on ONE of the following questions;

 

 

  1. Walter Lippmann in his 1922 classic, Public Opinion, which began with a chapter titled “The World Outside and the Pictures in Our Heads.” stressed that news media are a primary source of those pictures in our heads about the larger world of public affairs, a world that for most citizens is “out of reach,out of sight, out of mind.”

 

Walter Lippmann, Public opinion. New York: Macmillan, 1922, p.29.

 

What we know about the world is largely based on what the media decide to tell us. Beyond attitudes and opinions, the pictures of reality created by the mass media in its agenda setting  complicates personal behaviours, ranging from college applications to voting on election day. With relevant examples discuss the positive and negative influence of media in the shaping of public opinion in the context of a democratic country.

 

OR

 

  1. Many investors use the Internet and new media to help them with investment decisions. While these online tools can provide many benefits for investors, these same tools can make attractive targets for criminals. Criminals are quick to adapt to new technologies – and the Internet is no exception. It’s easy for fraudsters to make their messages look real and credible and sometimes hard for investors to tell the difference between fact and fiction.

Discuss on how media can support the government in effectively raising awareness among the citizens to curb the rising cases of online scams.
