1. The media is an enormous source for role models in today's society. Think back to a time in which your behavior was affected by a role model you discovered in the media. This can be as simple as a change in clothing or food choice or something lifechanging (for example, a film or television figure inspired your choice of college major). What was it about your media role model that inspired your change? Next time you make a choice, take a moment to think about whether a media role model has at all influenced your decision.

2. The money spent on presidential campaigns is enormous--millions and millions of dollars are contributed and spent, many of those directed at the purchase of television airtime for ads. How do you feel about this? What arguments could be made in favor of the present system? What arguments can be made against it? Propose an alternative model, trying to come up with a solution that would prove to be beneficial to both the media and the nation, preserving network profitability while also leveling the campaign finance playing field for all candidates.

3. Take a position in favor of global media companies and their influence or one against. need a short persuasive paper outlining the argument either for or against, citing examples of the positive or negative influences of global media conglomerates.
