25 Aug What are the positive consequences for the public of the media exposure psychological disorders get?
You’ll be viewing and commenting on five of your classmates’ posts. These posts will be specifically assigned to you for ‘peer review’, so you won’t be choosing them on your own. For the reviews, you need only make a brief comment on the post – something else that was accurate or inaccurate that you noticed, something you liked about the example, something you learned, etc. It can be any substantive comment that indicates you watched and thought about the example (i.e., it doesn’t need to be more than a couple of sentences, but it should be more than just ‘good job!’).
REFLECTION
you’ll be writing a short (approximately one page, double spaced [it’s fine if you go over that length]) reflection paper based on the examples you posted and viewed. You’re welcome to view as many additional posts/clips as you want, or to just base this reflection on your post and the ones that you were assigned to peer review. Your reflection should address the following points, mentioning examples from the clips:
What are the positive consequences for the public of the media exposure psychological disorders get? In other words, why might we want to see them represented in the media?
• What are the negative consequences of the way psychological disorders are portrayed in the media? In other words, what real life problems could any misinformation you’ve observed cause?
• What is your overall impression of the way psychological disorders appear in the media in terms of how accurate and respectful the portrayals are?
