Instruction
Part A: Media Analysis – 25% (250 points). For this project, each student will select at least one media text (e.g., film, TV series, book) that includes at least one type of intercultural relationship (e.g., a friendship, workplace relationship, romantic relationship). My movie will be Coming to America.
Students may choose to focus on a single text (e.g., “Do the American and Chinese authority figures in the television series Mr. Robot enact different communication styles when conflicts arise between the two groups?”)
Or students may choose to compare multiple texts (e.g., “Do The Big Sick and Mississippi Masala differ in how they portray intercultural romantic relationships?”).
