My topic for this is ( “The Impact of Influencer-Driven Hustle Culture on College Students’ Anxiety Levels”.) For the final, you will conduct more in-depth research into a topic related to the questions about social media we have considered this semester. At the bottom of this document is a list of topic areas; you must choose a topic that fits within at least one of these areas.
- Your project should have a focused argument and a clear thesis.
- Your project must be related to social media.
- Your project should illuminate a specific facet of the topic rather than simply providing an overview. For example: Instead of “How social media affects mental health,” your topic would be more like “How weight loss advertisements on TikTok influence body image in preteen girls.” The second topic is still related to the larger issue of mental health but gives a much more focused and interesting picture of a specific aspect of the issue.
- Your project should incorporate credible, objective, recent information about the topic from at least six sources. At least two of your sources should be from peer-reviewed publications. For help finding quality peer-reviewed sources, check out the library’s search tutorials, or ask a librarian for help. Opinion articles may be used but only if you have six other non-opinion sources.
- Your project should be focused and well-organized.
- Length is approximately 7-10 slides in a PowerPoint or other slide deck format.
