Description
Critically analyse three of the main social justice issues of a real global event of your choosing and include an analysis of the media’s role in these issues. This can be a type of event (e.g. Olympics) or a specific event (e.g. Beijing Olympics). Justify why your choice is indeed considered a global event.
The social justice issues could include protests, social/environmental policies, infrastructure issues, financial issues, impacts on communities, host destination’s reputation, labour rights, political power, or similar – these are just examples, so please focus on what is most relevant for your chosen event.
Critically evaluate how organisers/stakeholders handled the social justice issues. The report should include recommendations for fairer future practice, including lesson learned, identifying best practice, and/or suggesting recommendations for better ways to do things in the future.
Contextualise in key academic concepts and support with relevant academic literature.
Students should use a minimum of 20 reliable academic sources. This can comprise, for example, academic journal articles (online and print), academic books, government reports and local authority reports. The use of unreliable sources is not permitted. Students may refer to other reliable internet based or newspaper sources but these will not be considered as part of the ‘20 academic sources’. Students may use more than 20 reliable academic sources. There is not a maximum number of sources.
