Can You See Me Now: A Qualitative Study on the Impact of Media Perceptions on the Self-Identity and Motivational Disposition of Black Men
Purpose: a literature review provides a scholarly context for the argument you propose and support in your paper. It helps readers perceive how your argument fits into past and present scholarly discussion of your subject. Most often, a literature review is formatted to appear as a separate section of your paper, preceding the body.
Parts of the Literature Review
The introduction establishes the significance of your topic and gives a brief preview of the trends you have identified in the scholarship of the subject.
The body contains more extensive information about notable similarities and differences, points of agreement and disagreement, patterns, trends you have discovered.
Use topic sentences to introduce and clarify these relationships among the separate scholarly works you have examined.
The conclusion provides an overview of what is known and thought about the topic and what is left to explore.
The following sections should be included in my literature review:
1. Introduction
2. Race, Gender and Class in Media
3. Stereotypes of the Black Male in Media and their Impact on Life and Values
4. Media Perceptions and Self Identity
