Framing Social Problems AssignmentHow do controversial social problems tend to be framed in our culture and media in ways that distort issues, dismiss/ignore rational proof and credible empirical evidence, and misplace the bulk of blame on individuals? For this project assignment, I would you like you to choose a public problem and apply framing analysis in a way that highlights these dynamics. In this assignment you will combine many of the sociological concepts we have covered so far in the first few weeks of the course. Let me know if you would like to discuss potential ideas or options.1. Determine which public problem you would like to analyze.  Describe the problem and explain its public nature.2. Define “framing” and explain how it can be applied to this particular public problem.3. Analyze this social problem by applying the following framing analysis: Discuss how it is commonly framed and what is often highlighted and ignored by this framing. What is the effect of this framing?4. Provide examples of data, facts, and credible empirical evidence established with a consensus of the scientific community about this public problem. Explain how this information can provide us with a more accurate picture to understand and effectively respond to the problem.To share your project, create a Prezi (an online tool) or PowerPoint presentation with a series of slides. Include photographs that you have captured or images sourced from news media or the internet that can illustrate features of the public problem you analyze for this project. You can record an audio/video presentation with Kaltura and upload it here, or share your slides with an accompanying 500-600 word (approximately 2-page) paper that outlines the framing analysis of the public problem.

STEP 1: RACE, GENDER, AND THE MEDIA-First, watch the following short video that outlines the Bechdel Test that was developed to look at the issue of women in motion pictures. Pay particular attention to the portion that explains how the test works and then also how the test can be applied to examining minority groups in film.http://www.feministfrequency.com/2012/02/the-2012-oscars-and-the-bechdel-test/ (Links to an external site.)(Links to an external site.)STEP 2: INDEPENDENT RESEARCHSelect an American television show, cartoon, or movie. As you watch or view your subject matter critically analyze the messages about gender and race being transmitted. Also, utilize the Bechdel Test to examine the roles and characters portrayed by people of differentsocial races and genders. TAKE NOTES!Remember you are examining this media source from an etic perspective. Your job is to critically look at the messages being presented about gender, race (and ethnicity), and sexuality. You are meant to look at how these contribute to our larger social constructs.STEP 3: ANALYSISThink about the various messages conveyed about gender and race by your subject matter. Be sure to explore if this film passes the Bechdel Test as applied to gender and race. Also be sure to discuss messages about gender and race that are present in the film or TV show you’ve selected even if it does pass the test.Remember to utilize critical thinking to deconstruct messages about gender and race. Think about what is being implied or directly stated about these topics by what people do, how they act, what clothes they were, and what character traits they are shown to posses. Think about if certain racial groups are portrayed with particular stereotypes or generalizations.NOTE: The information you are looking for is not just in what characters or models say, it is also in what they wear, how they act, and the situations in which they are presented. Try to record as much as you can from your subject matter.STEP 4: DISSEMINATIONAnswer the following questions (typed/ double-spaced) and provide examples to support your interpretations.1. What subject matter (show/film) did you select for this activity? Briefly name and describe it in a short paragraph. Also address which group (or groups) are targeted by this particular show/film?2. Does this show/ film pass the Bechdel Test as applied to gender? Does it pass when applied to race? (Rather than just a yes or no answer, provide some thoughtful discussion of how it either passes or fails.)3. What messages are presented regarding different genders and races? How are these ideas conveyed? How overt or subtle are the messages about gender, race, sexuality?4. Do you think this form of media contributes to our concept on gender, race, and sexuality in the United States? Why or why not? How powerful do you think media is in shaping ideas about race in our society?5. Was there anything that surprised you about this content when you viewed it for messages about race? Do you have any other significant observations related to this activity and your subject?
