MEDIA LINKS A STUDENT COMPANION WEBSITE FOR UNDERSTANDING CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL PROBLEMS THROUGH MEDIA This website contains a variety of material for students to access as they read Understanding Contemporary Social Problems through Media. Each chapter includes many options for further understanding and critical analysis through films, web exercises, readings and watch online features. Combining text and online material provides students with a wealth of information that will enhance their learning experience. The exercises and film recommendations can be done in or out of the classroom. This website will be updated regularly. MOVIE PICKS (FILMS) and WATCH ONLINE: Each chapter has recommendations for films related to its material. Additional sources are found through Mixed-Media Extras links. The “Thinking Sociologically” feature helps students consider the application of films to the material in the book. While not all films are available online, those that are will have links provided and many will have links to the films’ websites and trailers. Those films not online can be found in university libraries or for rent/purchase through online sources such as Amazon or Netflix. Many university libraries have accounts with online film sources. Commonly used online sources of film are listed below. WEB EXERCISES: Each chapter has many opportunities for students to access material online to read or watch and then answer questions using sociological concepts. These web-based exercises are designed for use as written assignments or in-class discussion. READING ROOMS: These boxed features found in each chapter contain additional readings available online that supplement the material in the text. These readings include academic journals, news sources, and documents from governmental and international sources, among others. CHECK THIS OUT: Sometimes additional material is made available in Media Links that is relevant to the topic, but is not in the book. Suggestions can be seen in this feature. This material will be added on an ongoing basis. WEB WATCH: Links to additional websites are provided at the end of each chapter and copied here for easy access. Media Links organization: The boxed components in the chapters will be listed on this website in the order in which they appear in each chapter.
