Dear Freelancer, please write a paper, 11 pages long, APA-style. The theme is already
chosen, it is in the ” Media Proposal – PSYC 324″ file: smoking and tobacco.? MAIN
DETAILS:Step One: Read the AAP Policy Statement located below. Make some notes for
yourself about points of agreement or disagreement you have with the statement and
specific findings regarding media depictions of substance use that you want to assess when
you write the paper.Step Two: Find a current example of substance use portrayal seen in
the media; for example, scenes from a movie, a television show, or a commercial; print ads;
or portrayals found in “new media” as discussed in the AAP article. The Internet is a good
tool for finding film or television portrayals of substance use as well as examples of print
ads if ready access to first-hand media is not available. A two-paragraph summary of the
proposed example of substance use portrayal in the media that will be used for the paper is
due by the end of Week 3.Step Three: Write the paper. Begin the paper with an introduction
that summarizes the main findings of the AAP article and previews what will be covered in
the coming pages. Next, compare and contrast the portrayal of substance use found in the
media with the information learned about that substance in the class and course readings.
What messages about the substance are being portrayed? How accurate are those messages
relative to the actual data on substance use? Be sure to cite the course readings as needed.
Continue by comparing and contrasting the portrayal of substance use found in the media
with the criticism of media portrayals found in the AAP paper. Does the media example
match their arguments or contradict them? What links and connections can be made? Be
sure to cite the article as needed.Next, draw some conclusions about the portrayal of
substance use found in the media, addressing the following: What are the implications of
this type of portrayal? What messages are being sent and to whom? Are those messages an
accurate representation of the use of this substance? Should media portrayals be required
to be accurate in their depictions of use, showing both positive and negative
consequences?Finally, review the guidelines suggested by the AAP at the end of their policy
statement and address the following: Although directed specifically at pediatricians, which
of those recommendations is most important? Why? Are these recommendations
necessary? If followed, will they be effective in addressing the concerns raised earlier in the
article? Be sure to cite sources as needed.Reading Materials Week 1-
