Analytical Paper

Write an academic essay analysing a media representation (e.g. an article or editorial from a newspaper, a film, a YouTube
video) in relation to the intercultural concepts of essentialism and non-esssentialism. You can consider questions such as: Is
the representation essentialist/ non-essentialist in any way? Are any kinds of stereotypes being deployed and how do you 

account for that portrayal? Is culturist language used and why is it important to be aware of the effects of language?

Include at least 2 scholarly references in addition to the text you are analysing.
