The primary writing assignment for this class will take the form of a critical review. As will become apparent throughout the course, films, television programs, and documentaries regularly feature elements of the judicial process.

While potentially interesting subject matter, the judicial process is a
complex and nuanced component of the broader political system, and fictionalized media portrayals
have the potential to warp public understanding of an otherwise largely unfamiliar process. The goal of
this paper is to critically assess an example of a media portrayal of the judicial process and compare that
portrayal to reality.

overview of the media portrayal. What is the story about? How does it develop? What is the
conclusion?

implicated in this portrayal? Be specific and organized here. Pick concepts that are specific

the criminal justice system etc.). If you identify several concepts, address each concept
individually. What is the concept? In what part of the portrayal is it being addressed? How is it
being addressed?

to reality on each of these concepts? Do you believe this is an accurate or representative
portrayal? Why or why not?

Health and Illness in Contemporary Society

Directions/General Guidelines: Your final paper must be well organized in standard paragraph form. The paper, as noted on the syllabus, should be approximately 5-6 pages in length (double-spaced, 12 point font) and should include at least three academic references (i.e. no popular literature references, no wikipedia, and no websites) that you will need to cite in a bibliography. One of these references must be a journal article. Additional references (beyond the first three) can include your textbook and class films.

Be very careful if you choose this option to remember that this is not a book report about three different countries. Critical to your analysis will be a discussion of how cultures and societies influence social experiences of health.

Read the new book Vanishing New York: How a Great City Lost Its Soul, by Jeremiah Moss.

Moss is a pseudonym for Griffin Hansbury, who authored a blog about the personal places in the city that he saw disappearing around him. The popular blog boldly claims that ‘A New Yorker is someone who longs for New York’. One goal of the book is to show that the loss of the individual (bar, club, cafe, etc.) is illustrative of the loss of the whole (culture, soul, etc.). Summarize the major points that the author makes to this end and how he frames these arguments. Using what you learned in class, think about the multiple losses over the long history of the city that Moss didn’t address. How do these present a different picture of the changing city than the one the author paints? How can the framework of loss vs. preservation be applied to neighborhoods of the city not included in the book? Go exploring and find some places and spaces that are beacons of preservation in the Moss model. Write a 5 page response to Moss’s book addressing these questions and critiquing his methods. Remember to make reference to Moss’s text in your paper, through footnotes or in-text citations, and feel free to incorporate your own images.
