HOW TO WRITE/STRCTURE THE ESSAY (NOTES FROM THE PROFESSOR)

-As the professor said, the structure is the crucial part of this essay, please read this thoroughly and implement this essay structure when writing this essay.

-You should take the economics perspective/framework when tackling this essay question.
Economics perspective/ economics framework.

-Each point is the first line of the paragraph. After this, in the further sentences, comes the evidence/the argumentation.
-For this essay (1,250 words), there should be about 10 paragraphs.
-The paragraph’s structure:
Point – 1st sentence
Evidence/argument – further sentences.

-To “Justify” – to negate the negative. In the case of our essay question, you have to point all the ways in which it HAS changed (by this you are negating the possibility that the information’s role in society HASN’T changed since the 1960s).

-When writing an essay, it is very important to remember these two things:
(1) What are you arguing?
(2) From what perspective are you arguing? We stick with the economics perspective.

-Frame = lens. E.g., economics frame, medical frame etc.

-Recommended structure: The Pyramid

-Clarity! If you use some theory, assume the reader doesn’t know this theory and explain it well.

-If you note it, quote it (about referencing). Harvard style only.
