Choose 1 of the 3 options. Your answer should be between 400-500 words. Key concepts
should be well defined. The goal is to show what you know from class materials with minimal
emphasis on creating brilliant new ideas. A formal bibliography is not necessary, importance
is being able to link key terms to their theorists
1. Adnorno and Horkhiemer argue that style makes us victims of false consciousness. How
might this concept relate to the commercialization of print and more advanced communication
technologies. To what extent might this theory relate to Dallas Smythe's proposition of cultural
realism- that our central values are expressed in our artifacts, practices and institutional
policies?
2. Nancy Fraser argues that the public sphere "designates a theater in modern societies in
which political participation is enacted through the medium of talk. It is the space in which
citizens deliberate about their common affairs". How does the reality of public discourse
match this description? How do other themes from our class help us to consider opportunities
and barriers for the public sphere?
3.Ellul said that "Propaganda is creating truth, truth is powerless without propaganda".
Identify some of the propaganda in a major country in an argument where you defend either a
liberal or socialist approach to propaganda with reference to other major themes from our
course.
