Personal Experience Coping with Loss

Key Concepts: Denial, Anger, Acceptance
You might recognize that these are three of the five stages of grief that are commonly referred to in Death and Dying literature. Here we would encourage you to choose the three concepts that are most relevant for your personal experience. You might say, I never dealt with Anger, but I did deal with Depression, and so you would choose to include Depression instead of Anger. It really doesnt matter as long as your choice of concepts correlate directly to your personal, adult experience.

explain how the leftist and rightist media treat a social or political issue of your choice

Step 1: Pick a social or political issue of your choice.

Wedge issues work best: global warming, gun debate, legalizing marijuana, same-sex marriage, abortion, et cetera. Don\’t take sides, your task is to analyze how these news reports are constructed. The issue itself is irrelevant.

Step 2: Pick two media sources from opposite sides of the political spectrum.

Why pick the extremes on the political spectrum? Because it\’s easier to pluck out the bias, especially when you\’re reading the same story side by side.

Either two magazines/journals (The Nation vs. NRO) or
two local newspapers (NY Times vs. LV Review-Journal) or
two television broadcasts (The Rachel Maddow Show vs. The OReilly Factor)

Use any sources that express opposing views, below are a few examples:
Leftist or Liberal

Rightist or Conservative

The Nation

The Huffington Post

Mother Jones

NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post

MSNBC (Rachel Maddow, etc.)

The American Spectator

National Review Online (NRO)

The Weekly Standard

Wall St. Journal, LV RJ, Washington Times

FOX News (Bill O Reilly, etc.)
