How Generation Z is Transforming the Creative Economy Through Digital Media and Personal Storytelling

Paper details:
Final Paper: The Movement/Theme Paper or Historical/Cultural Significance The final paper should work to encapsulate an overall theme of the work from your first papers. In some ways, it’s like a big trend paper in that it covers a number of trends and events of importance in order to try to put some overall significance to them. The idea is fairly similar whether you’re doing a time period or a discipline. The key is trying to define what we’ll call the movement. For instance, if you were doing the last ten years, you can call this the movement of fear, maybe. If you were to do that, you might talk about Osama Bin Laden, 9/11, the post-9/11 fallout, terrorist attacks in other countries, the Iraq war, death of Saddam, etc. In talking about all these things, you would be tying it all into the larger theme of the growing fear in America, or how fear works in America and the response to these events. Hopefully, in searching for your movement/theme, you’ve already covered a number of these things in your previous paper, as well as learned about a number of people/trends/events that you may not have included but now are relevant. The plan is that this paper doesn’t require a lot of additional research, and if it does, that the research is very focused because the need for the paper is known. The things you tell me about must be building to a point/thesis. Avoid just listing details with no meaning behind them. By the final paper, you need to be sure there is a reason for the things that you’re talking about in detail. The other biggest hurdle of this paper is going to be organization. Keep in mind that you should have some sort of structure to bind your paper together, whether it be something as simple as chronological order or a more complex structure. This may take a couple re-readings of your paper to make sure the flow is there, that each paragraph transitions to the next clearly, and that everything is pointing back to your thesis, the movement/theme. This is a longer paper due to the amount of information, so we’re shooting for 1500 words, or about 7-8 pages typed. As always, don’t forget to cite your paper as you go and to make sure the whole paper is in proper MLA format. There is not a specified amount of sources required for this paper, but, as stated above, it is expected that this paper draw from the sources of previous papers, so at the very least, I expect there to be upwards of seven (7) scholarly sources used. 1. I strongly advise outlining your paper first. 2. This paper is a little longer than the others, and I expect it to show thought throughout. Make sure you are using specific details and giving a reason for including these details. This paper is 1500 words, which is 6-7 pages typed BEFORE the Works Cited. 3. Every paragraph in your paper should have at least one internal citation, except for perhaps your introduction and conclusion. Paragraphs may have multiple internal citations depending on how many sources are being used in the paragraph. If you’re using more than one, simply cite (Reynolds 45) after you finish the summary of each source’s info for your paragraph (Dickerson 128). 4. That said, MLA Format will be graded at a higher percentage on these final papers. You need to have learned how to properly cite your paper in order to pass this class. No other alternatives. 5. Don’t forget to give your paper an actual introduction. If you’re going into the event straight from the top and not introducing it and it’s importance and laying out the ground work for the paper, then you probably don’t have an appropriate introduction.*please rewrite attachment called “final paper” to better fit this new topic using this thesis: In the wake of a rapidly evolving digital landscape, Generation Z has emerged as a driving force in the creative economy—leveraging social media platforms, digital tools, and entrepreneurial strategies to redefine traditional ideas of work, storytelling, and personal identity, thus signaling a cultural shift toward authenticity, autonomy, and participatory media. *please use trends/themes/ movements from previous papers to encaculate this rewritten final paper
