Media critique (700-1000 words).

Pick a piece of media where human evolution is discussed (it can be anything: a book, video game, podcast, movie, television show, news article etc.). A news article covering an evolutionary psychology article will likely be one of the more straightforward routes here.

Make sure to include a copy of the original media in your assignment or link it in some way to provide context.

Identify any fallacies in the piece of media (see below for a list), and any other inaccuracies in the media piece. Your critique need not be completely negative if you think that the media piece has good components.

You can point out that some parts are accurate, while other parts are misleading. Or you can argue that it is universally a bad piece of work. Your critique should be well-organized with an introduction, a main body, and a conclusion.

Make sure to fully cite the media piece you are critiquing, using APA or similar style. You should not need to cite any other references, but if you do use other references make sure to cite them.

Carefully selecting a piece of media that you can criticize will help you do well on this assignment. Make sure that you pick something with enough for you to discuss.
