A. What I’ve learned from the topic
· Are there any new perspectives?
Ø Not yet.
· Opinions or assumptions that have been altered?
Ø I had definitely thought about the impact of the media and teenagers, but I had never done research. I had no idea that there were so many people that believed that media is at fault for the way kids act today and the way they are viewed.
B. My current opinion-
· The media plays an important role in teen’s lives today. Although the media portrays teens to be, act, and look a certain way, teenagers are also at fault for feeding into this stereotype.
· We all have brains, we can all think for ourselves. Just because the party in “Project X” looked fun, doesn’t mean I’m going to go drink and do drugs. Teens are at fault for thinking it’s cool but the media is at fault for portraying teens to be like this.
The way you have laid this out was easy for me to see where you stand compared to where you were when you started. You did a good representation of what you have learned and how your opinion has changed. Something I would suggest changing is how you simply just said "not yet" to the question asking if there were any new perspectives. I think you should go into how you are planning on broadening your horizons in order to find those new perspectives. Again, I liked the "my current opinion" section because you gave the reader more information on your topic that you have found.
