I’m working on a sociology presentation and need a sample draft to help me learn.

First, Provide a Functionalist and a Conflict Theory analysis of MASS MEDIA in American society, in two separate paragraph

Then, You will need to conduct research on MASS MEDIA a combination of 7-10 resources (e.g., books, newspaper articles, news magazine articles, sociological journals, internet sites, videos, DVDs, interviews, etc.).

After you have conducted your research, you will analyze your information using the following questions as a guide:

1. Discuss the history of mass media. How did it emerge? How did it come into existence?
2. How do members of society perceive mass media?
3. How do members of the mass media perceive itself (its own institution)?
4. How has the mass media changed over time?
5. What has caused the mass media to change?
6. Discuss any stable features of the mass media, that is, features that have not changed.
7. As a way to better accommodate members of society, how would you improve mass media?
8. Who are the major participants in the mass media? What are their roles and statuses?
9. Does mass media work better for some members of society (as opposed to others)?
