    "Choose a specific social issue (I've chosen same sex marriage). Research coverage of the issue in the media and locate current media excerpts reporting on this issue (can do)
    Write a case study on your chosen issue comparing and contrasting two of the following perspectives: feminism, gay, lesbian or queer theory and postmodern theory.
    Your case study should include: identification and overview of the social issue, an analysis of the issue in light of two sociological perspectives, a discussion of the different ways the issue is represiented in the media from the point of view of the perspectives chosen (wha...?) They want you to use each one of the perspectives above - feminism, gay, lesbian or queer theory and postmodern theory - as the approach for the discussion. So you need to choose the perspectives you will use. You must use postmodern and one other perspective from which to write.and references to relevant literature linking your ideas to theory discussed in the module."


    All contributions gratefully received, but if you've only got hugs I'll take those too

    I am a last minute-er too, so I will give you the things that help me!
    List - go through one at a time and tick each thing off, helps with your plan and fluency too.
    So firstly pick your subject - done; then your perspectives - postmodern and ....?; assemble your media references and plan your case study by going through each of the aspects they have asked you to cover:
    Issue overview (200 words)
    Issue Analysis from both perspectives (800 words)
    Discussion of media representation from both perspectives (800 words)
    Conclusions (150 words)

    What is your word count?

    ETA - just saw your post.
