Portfolios include two parts:
1. A media clipping from a popular media source that illustrates a striking concept of your choice from the chapter and/or lecture for that week.
2. Using course material (text book readings and/or lecture), write a brief explanation of how that media clipping demonstrates the concept you chose. Your explanation should include a brief definition of the concept of choice, as well as a few sentences connecting the concept to your media example.
For e.g., the first chapter introduces and distinguishes the concepts of stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination. If I were to submit a portfolio entry, I would look for an article of our President playing on the stereotypes of some immigrant group, and then relate that to how stereotypes are perpetuated in the society.
Your media sources can be newspaper articles, editorials, advertisements, advice columns, magazine articles (NOT Psychology Today, WebMD, or any other educational website or magazine), TV shows, movies, cartoons, or comics, but you may NOT use scholarly articles or your text book. Actively search the popular media for these examples, rather than just Googling them and selecting the first picture you find – this is not acceptable!
For each entry, copy and paste the picture/cartoon/ad/editorial/article etc., as well as the full APA reference, into a Word document, then write a short paragraph underneath that explains how the media entry connects with the chapter/lecture material. If you are using a video, make sure that you have an image of the video, or a video still included in the Word doc (take a screen shot of the video if necessary by pressing PrtScn on your keyboard and then Paste into a Word document). If you just include a link to the video, points will be deducted.
Each entry will be graded on the acceptability of the media entry as it represents the textbook concept (left to the discretion of the professor), and the clarity of the connection made between the media clipping and the textbook concept.
Chapter 5: Racism
When we think of the discrimination and bigotry, the first of the isms that come to mind is racism. This is the most common form of prejudice and discrimination in our society, and it constitutes the largest percentage of hate crimes. In chapters 5, we will try to understand the underlying factors that lead to racism.
