Question: Communication Analysis Paper

Standard Requirements:

- 5-8 Pages, not including reference page.
- Times New Roman or Baskerville Old Face font, 12 pt.
- 1.5 inch document margins.
- Title/Cover page.
- Running head with page number in top right corner.
- At minimum five (5) sources, with at least 2 (2) being academic, peer reviewed sources, and one (1) being our course textbook.

For this assignment you are expected to create a paper that, in some way, demonstrates your acquired knowledge of a core principle of communication studies. You are charged with choosing some topic or concept of interest that we have discussed throughout the course of the semester, and extending this topic in a way that articulates your own voice and connecting the topic to a broader argument.
The topic you choose can derive from a range of options, including, but certainly not limited to:

- Issues within interpersonal communication.
- Mediated (Media) communication.
- Issues of privilege, power, and difference.
- Intercultural communication.
- Hegemony.
- Language as power.
- Rhetoric.
*Any other concepts discussed in our textbook or in our class lectures.

In your paper you should correctly and sufficiently articulate the foundational components/tenets of the topic you have chosen. You should explicitly detail exactly what this phenomenon is, in order to demonstrate that you have successfully synthesized its meaning. You are then to take this concept or idea and integrate/marry it with any argument/idea/thought process that you may have.

In this paper you have the freedom to make whatever claim or argument that you choose, as long as you rely on logic and demonstrate a useful method for doing so.

Examples of potential topics (*Note: This is NOT a list of options that you should mimic or directly copy, but more so a list to provide you with guidance, inspiration, or clarified understanding)

- A media analysis on some type of artifact or genre, including song, album, artist, film, television series or particular episode. For this type of paper you will want to employ a critical lens to frame your case in order to substantiate your argument.

- A paper that demonstrates how language serves as a powerful tool for maintaining, challenging, dismantling or sustaining cultural and societal structures pertaining to class, gender, sexuality, race, ableism, etc. In this context you will want to rely on support material as well as your own thoughts as a method to make a particular claim that centers culture, power, difference, and language.

- A paper that weaves together your personal experiences with some particular issue (autoethnography), that draws the focus back to concepts that we have discussed. For example, a paper that discusses the linear model of relational development, Social Penetration Theory, or Social Exchange Theory, in relation to your own interpersonal relational experiences.

- You may integrate as many concepts from the class as you like. For example, a paper on the ways that we perform gender identities in particular types of media, and how these depictions repetitively reinforce notions of power and privilege in every day life, and maintaining expectations that are unrealistic.

A successful paper will demonstrate a genuine knowledge on the subject of your choice, and will uniquely and creatively attach course concepts to broader issues. Your grade will hinge upon your ability to adequately define and explain the course issue, and to what extent you logically and usefully connect this concept to another topic--either personal, political, medial, etc.

The topic chosen is, Language as a power. Please make sure its in APA style as well as no plagiarism. Beside, follow the instruction in the pdf please, I really need to get an A in this paper.
