I need an explanation for this Communications question to help me study.
(1) Provide a concise summary of all texts’ main arguments. I don’t expect you to necessarily understand all texts so it’s completely fine for you to be confused. In that case, try to paraphrase/explain passages you found most confusing.
(2) Then, by referencing particular passages and page numbers, reflect on the text. What did you find interesting? What did you find shocking or surprising? What did you dis/agree with and why? Try to explain your reactions, interest, shock, or surprise.
(3) Conclude by putting the texts in conversation with current events. It isn’t sufficient to simply say that the reading is related to the BLM protests or the issues surrounding COVID-10, for example. Assume all texts are at least tangentially related to these. Instead, identify specific passages in the texts in order to work through current events. How do the texts help explain something we’re living through? Or, on the contrary, do you find that current events are so different from the theoretical texts that we need to reconsider how relevant notions are changing?
