This assignment asks you to analyze music lyrics using concepts from the course. That is, analyze the lyrics of a song using communication concepts. First, choose a song whose lyrics you want to analyze. Then, analyze the song using concepts from Chapter 3 (Communication & the Self) and/or Ch. 4 (Perception) that are illustrated in the song lyrics. For example, you might find that the lyrics illustrate reflected appraisal, social comparison, reference groups, face, facework, face threats, autonomy face, fellowship face, competence face, interpretation, stereotypes, perceptual accuracy, recency effect, egocentrism, attributions, or self-serving bias. Finally, elaborate on the lyrics’ connection to the concept(s), and discuss your interpretation of the overall meaning of the song.
