Hi again,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to request your guidance with my response paper for Communication, Culture, and Identity (COMS 3109). I want to be upfront and clarify that the current set of answers I’ve attached are not my own work. They are meant to provide a base to make the process easier for revisions, but I need them to be entirely rewritten in my voice with significant changes and additions to align with the assignment’s expectations.
Key Revisions Required:
- Thorough Rewriting and Depth:
- The responses need to be completely rewritten to reflect my personal understanding of the course material while addressing the assignment questions critically and in depth.
- Each answer should be expanded to incorporate missing elements and detailed examples, demonstrating strong engagement with the course themes.
- Incorporating Additional Course Materials:
- The responses should integrate a broader range of course readings and materials, including:
- Pattern Discrimination: Discussing homophily, algorithmic bias, and the political dimensions of data.
- Coded Bias: Exploring algorithmic biases and their societal implications (link provided below).
- Jackson 2Bears’ Coded Territories: Insights on Indigenous identity and cultural resistance through art.
- Jessica Bay’s “Targeting the Fan”: Analysis of fan engagement and commodification in media.
- National identity and nation-building concepts from Benedict Anderson, Eva Mackey, and related lecture notes.
- The responses should integrate a broader range of course readings and materials, including:
- Strengthening Citations and Formatting:
- The citations need to follow APA style, with a comprehensive bibliography that includes all referenced materials.
Attachments for Reference:
- Assignment Guidelines: To ensure alignment with the task requirements.
- Current Draft of the Paper: As a starting point for the revisions.
- Pattern Discrimination (Book Chapter): A core reading on algorithmic bias and data-driven systems.
- Coded Bias (Film): Access the film here: Coded Bias - Carleton MediaSpace.
- Jackson 2Bears’ Coded Territories: On Indigenous identity and new media art.

- National Identity Lecture Notes (COMS 3109): Featuring discussions on Benedict Anderson, Eva Mackey, and concepts of nation-building.
Goal:
My goal is to produce a paper that is entirely my own, thoroughly addresses the questions, and incorporates missing elements to meet academic standards and demonstrate strong engagement with the course material. I would greatly appreciate your help in rewriting the responses, adding the missing details, and ensuring the final version is comprehensive and original.
Thank you so much for your time and assistance. Please let me know if you need anything further from me. I look forward to your feedback!
