b'Media Framing of Terrorism: public fears and money Marley Jackson, Department of Mass Media,Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Nicole Cox, Department of Mass MediaThis paper will discuss instances where the media frames terrorism in such a way that people are almost taught to fear terrorism as a much higher risk than what it truly is and how the media is making money because of it. It will also discuss how the media shares certain information rather than other, important information to create a much more attractive story. Issues that relate to the framing of terrorism such as North Korea hydrogen bomb, Clinton versus Trump issue of terrorism, and mass shootings will be highlighted throughout this paper. Key terms mentioned are framing, socialization, and cultivation theory. Money and views are the medias biggest agenda. We have been taught to be attracted to fear-based articles because the media knows it makes money. If we do not educate ourselves and engage in fact checking on current issues, we will always be consumed with fear-based media.Femininity & Masculinity: Misrepresentation Affecting the Development of Children through Disneys MoanaMaxwell Steele and Ray Hannah, Department of Mass MediaFaculty Sponsor: Dr. Cox, Department of Mass MediaUtilizing gender studies, the following research and subsequent analysis examines the 2016 Disney film Moana. Both hegemonic masculinity and femininity are investigated through the characters in the film. With the female characters, societal expectations of young women and girls in development are essentially perpetuating female stereotypes. With the male characters, hegemonic masculine traits are assigned to the different male characters. Both these representations effect childrens perspective of the world and society, and more importantly, themselves. This is will leave children asking questions about their respective gender assignment and roles they have been burdened with by media in its entirety. The media, in a sense, is responsible for these stereotypes just as they have been held accountable for in the past. It is not as recognizable today as compared to the past (ex. Song of the South) but still poses problems.34'
