The full prompt is “How is profanity used in the contemporary popular media? Profanity has become more pervasive in general in American life and this is especially notable in the mass media. Compare and contrast two different media and their use/inclusion of profanity. What types of messages are sent through the use of these words and gestures? What types of characters utter them? What types of words are acceptable and what types are not, and why? Are there geographical differences in the media’s use of profane words, for example in big cities as opposed to small towns or in different parts of the country? Why do different media seem to have different standards in regard to the number and types of words that are allowed? Write a paper analyzing the use of profanity as a means of communication in two different types of media.” The essay can be based on personal experience so you can use “I” or “me” in this essay. I also left my notes because it could help to maybe use some of the ideas that we went over.
