Write an essay of 550 words (excluding references) about a global agent change. Two examples of global agents of change are Oprah Winfrey- a media giant changing the world through her school for women in Africa- and Wael Ghonim -the young Facebook employee who stirred a revolution in Egypt. For this assignment, you should choose a global agent of change who has not been mentioned in Lules book. Find a person who works in the world of communications. In other words, Winfrey and Ghonim are only examples of a global personalities. The essay should have a title that summarizes the central angle of your text. Read the essay requirements below.
Your essay should focus on the agent’s life and how their relationship with media and communications has changed their society for the better. Remember to focus on the communication aspect of the agent. Due to the nature of this class, please choose an agent born outside of the U.S.
Use APA style for in-text citations and a reference list. Reference lists should have at least three sources of information. The sources should be academic articles, books, or news articles from reputable news organizations.
Sources should include at least one document per the following categories (at least three sources in total):
Academic articles in peer-reviewed journals (e.g., American Journal of Political Science, International Studies Quarterly, Journal of Politics, American Journal of Sociology, American Economic Review, Quarterly Journal of Economics.
Books published by a university press (e.g., Cambridge University Press, Stanford University Press, University of Michigan Press).
News articles from reputable sources ( e.g., The New York Times, New Yorker, The Washington Post, BBC, Guardian)
Do not rely on Wikipedia or informal sites such as blogs.
In conclusion, explain the bigger picture significance of your agent for readers who might not be solely interested in this person. Try to develop lessons that could apply to other countries and their connection to the U.S.
