The African American culture is one of three topics that students have really struggled with in prior courses. The mistakes of prior students include: basing the paper off their experiences and/or opinions; providing an incomplete cultural identity; providing a description of the cultural identity NOT based on scholarly sources; incomplete explanation of stereotypes/portrayals in the US media; missing evaluation of the impact of the media on perception and interaction with this culture; and no scholarly sources cited. If you are going to focus on this culture then I would strongly advise that you narrow your focus to a particular segment or geographical location of the African American culture. Additionally ensure to restrict your paper to the elements of the prompt.
