I’m studying for my Communications class and need an explanation.
Overview
This will cover four general topics: the dark side of online interaction, gender, lifespan communication (teens and older adults), and the digital divide. In order to prepare for the paper you should review your readings, lesson content, and lesson assignments. After that read over the procedure and grading requirements and write your responses. Be sure to read over your answers and edit before you submit your paper.
Procedure
For each question below please include enough explanation, example, and/or citations to demonstrate a full understanding of the different concepts you are addressing.
- First, summarize negative online interaction (the dark side of communication). You might talk about different types, what makes this kind of communication unique, and/or why this type of communication is abundant in online communities. Second, talk about why gender might be disproportionately affected by negative interaction. Be sure to include why people of some genders might be more affected by or victims of negative online interactions. Include examples and insights from lessons as needed to support your ideas. (450-750 words)
- Talk about the digital divide. What it is, why it matters, who is affected by it. Then, connect how different ages (lifespan) are affected by digital inequality. Why is age a potential factor in access or inequality? Why does this matter? (450-750 words)
