Science in the MediaThere is nothing like reading a good book or watching a great movie for a little escapism and entertainment. With all of the television channels out there and access to the internet, you can watch just about anything you want at any time. In Unit 2, you talked about the science involved with technology, but in this Assignment, you are going to turn the tables and delve into how the media portrays science.How does a pop culture portrayal of science and scientists impact the average person’s view of what science is and how research is conducted? Can what is presented by the media affect how the general populace views a particular research field? What might the long-term impacts of such a depiction be? These are just a few questions that you will reflect upon in this Assignment.Your paper should address the following questions:When you hear the word “scientist” what do you envision? Which famous people or characters from the media come into your mind? What characteristics do they have in common? Discuss at least three characteristics of your vision of a scientist.Has your image of what a scientist does and how they look changed over time? If so, how has this changed and what influenced you?Are fictional scientists usually the heroes, villains, or a combination of the two? Provide at least two detailed examples to support your position.How is science portrayed in fictional media (television shows, movies, music, books, etc.)? Is it seen as a positive, negative, or neutral force in the world? Give specific examples supporting your position.Do you think the portrayal of scientists in the various forms of media influences how society views people in this profession? Why, or why not?Can the portrayal of science in media influence how certain research and technology is viewed, and accepted, by the general public (e.g., cloning)?Your Final Project should be written in an essay format, with an introduction and conclusion. The paper will require you to include details from research including the course materials and sources you locate on your own. Use APA format to cite your sources of information, both within parenthetical citations and also within a reference page at the end of the project.Basic Writing Expectations:A minimum of 1,500 words, not counting the title or reference pagesAt least 3 academic resources utilizedInclude a title page, double space, font size 10 or 12Include a highly developed viewpoint/thesis, purpose, and exceptional contentDemonstrate superior organization: use logicFree of grammar and spelling errorsNo evidence of plagiarism. Note: no more than 10% of your paper should be direct quotesUse the APA style for all in-text citations, references, and body of paper

InstructionsIn the mid-1950s, the first study linking cigarette smoking to lung cancer was published. In the decades that followed, many other studies supported this finding and a host of other health-related effects attributed to smoking were uncovered. Over the last few decades, cities and states have created local regulations prohibiting smoking in certain public places. In 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was given regulatory authority of all tobacco products. Chapter 20 of your textbook begins with a comparison of two sources of inhalable nicotine: traditional tobacco cigarettes and E-cigarettes. Because E-cigarettes are a relatively new technology, less is known about the long-term effects of the firsthand and secondhand inhalation of vaping products. However, in recent years they have been treated and regulated similarly to traditional cigarettes. Your assignment for this unit is to create a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation that covers the following elements:the anatomy and physiology of respiration (e.g., explain how breathing works);the effects of the inhalation of smoke and E-cigarette vapor on gas exchange in the lungs;specific diseases associated with smoking, both pulmonary and cardiovascular; andlastly, based on what you know about E-cigarettes from the reading and your own research, defend or oppose the regulation of vaping products as traditional cigarettes. You will need to cite and reference at least one article from the CSU Library databases as one of your sources of information.
