Media Use Philosophy

Description

This paper requires the use of first two assignments. I will upload them later for your reference. You can either check the attached requirements or read below.

Requirements:
What is the most effective use of your time while engaging a mobile phone media? Consider the following questions:
• when, how, where, and under what conditions is the utility of a given media greatest for
you?
• when, how, where, and under what conditions is your use of that media greatest for others?
(that is, does your media use contribute anything socially? if so, how and what?)

In the Media Diary (assignment 2), we asked you to measure your media use and then to reflect and elaborate upon it. In this assignment, we’re asking the opposite: imagine a different relationship with your media and then enact it, that is, put it into practice over the course of 5 days.
So the second part of your Media Use Philosophy consists of tracking your new media practice.
Developing a minute by minute inventory is not necessary as it was in part 2, though it is a good idea
to monitor the changes you made to your everyday practices through some form of note taking or
chart/table design.

When writing up your reflection on this process, be sure to communicate how to
interpret your media practice. For instance, did you consciously decide against using it at a particular
time of day when you traditionally used it (or vice versa)? Why?

Finally, as part of reflecting on your practice, it’s important that you describe your successes and
failures meeting the aims set out in your philosophy. Could you enact what you set out to do? Were
your aims realistic? Were they beneficial? To whom?

It could be that you believe your media use as it emerged in assignment 2 is already ideal, and that there are no changes required. First, ask yourself why that is the case (be sure this is a position you feel
confident defending). Then design your philosophy as a defense of your existing practices,
communicating that they are already ideal both for you and for others.

It might be worth thinking about this paper (as it is all papers) in terms of sections. You’ll need an
introduction that elaborates the direction of the paper (including both philosophy and everyday
practice), a section elaborating your philosophy, a section on your practice, a section reflecting on
your practice, and a conclusion.

———
In the Media Diary (part 2), you spent 5 days closely tracking your media use and reflecting upon it.
Recall that the final prompt for the conclusion asked you to consider “what, if anything, would you
change about your relationship as a result of what you found?”. The Media Use Philosophy (part 3)
asks you to expand on on this idea by articulating and enacting a philosophy of media use.

A philosophy is a broader, more abstract statement on a particular issue or topic. It is a thoughtful series of ideas based on some form of learning and knowing. The media use philosophy will be based upon your previous work (Assignments 1 & 2) and will communicate what you regard as a more productive, positive, and/or sustainable approach to your own media use. It effectively asks you to design your ideal relationship with the media in question. This doesn’t necessarily mean engaging with the given media for less time over the course of a day, week, etc. It also doesn’t necessarily mean engaging with it for more time.

29.Ethics Assignment

Diversity, Values and Ethics (JUST20025) – Written Assignment

Due Date – Week 11 (or as directed by your Professor) Value: 20% of the final mark

Students are to research a credible Canadian print and electronic media, such as The Toronto Star, The National Post, The Globe and Mail, Mississauga News, Brampton Guardian, Oakville Beaver, CP24news media for a relevant article relating to some type of ethical issue and/or misconduct by a police officer or police service policies or service provided.

You will select one article. The article cannot be more than one year old and must be a Canadian story. You may locate your article in either hard copy or electronic format, but you will be required to source this article in APA format in your written submission. The article may focus on issues such as diversity, values and ethics. The article should involve how officers have committed misconduct either on or off duty resulting in the officer being charged criminally or under the Ontario Police Services Act. It could also be an article relating to how police officers and or police services interact with vulnerable individuals / groups (senior adults, special needs individuals, or people suffering a mental health crisis, the LGBTQ2 communities, refugees and or immigrants, First Nations, Inuit and Metis people, etc).

Once you have selected an article, you are to write a report that:

1. Identify your chosen article, its source and credibility;
2. Provides a summary of the article which clearly identifies the nature of the misconduct;
3. Analyze this article from the perspective of two ethics theories. Preferably the two listed below, but if another theory is of interest please feel free to incorporate that instead of one of these:
a. Teleological – Enlightened Self-interest (end or consequences); and
b. Deontological – Kantian Ethics (duty to principles)

For example: discuss the duty imposed on police to provide services ethically as per enlightened self-interest versus what may have been distorted (within these newspaper articles) regarding the officer’s justifying their actions in these given circumstances

4. Professionalism, format, spelling and grammar are essential elements;
5. APA format for in-text citations and reference page; and

GUIDELINES

4 pages (12 pt. font, times new roman, double spaced, not including a cover page or the reference page).
