Paper instructions:
So Far:
This semester, a large part of our initial work was about the “filter bubble,” personalization, the way search engines and social media determine what information comes to us, and how that filtering can affect how we see the world. From there, we moved on to discuss ideas about social media, privacy, censorship, democracy, and social change.
So Now:
Your job for the final assignment is to produce a document that will examine the ideas we engaged in class and what role they should play in your field of study. Your assignment will include: CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
I. A two page rationale
The Rationale should explain your position on the connection between the ideas we covered in class and your own field of study. For instance, if you are in law enforcement, you might look at how surveillance technology (including things like facial recognition and biometric “gait recognition”) will play a role in the future of the profession. If you are going into the medical field, you might look at something like genetic patenting. If you are going into business, you might look at how banks are starting to consider loan applicants’ social networks in order to help determine credit-worthiness. Essentially, the paper will answer the following question: Why should people in my field be thinking about this issue? This part of the paper should engage the sources from your annotated bibliography, but the bulk of the rationale should be made up of your own perspective, based on the research you have done. A rationale that is simply a collection of quotes will receive a failing grade.

II. An annotated bibliography
An annotated bibliography is a preliminary document that provides an evaluation of sources. It should do the following:
Summarize: What are the main arguments of the article? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary is.
Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?
Reflect: Once you’ve summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? Has it changed how you think about your topic? CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
