Wikipedia is pretty reliable, I should think. It even tells you exactly how to cite it. Someday, it would become the compendium of all human knowledge, like the one from H. G. Well’s The Time Machine.

This is the question

Your task
1. Select a communication theory which interests you
2. Write a 2-page (single spaced, excluding cover page and references) paper about this theory.
3. The suggested (not limited to) sections of this paper are as follows:
a. State the theory
b. Name the founder(s)/author(s)/scholar(s)
c. Brief background information of the setting (place, year) where the scholar worked on the theory, providing details of the socio-economic environment at that period (time) and locality, which (you may postulate) affected/encouraged the conception of the theory
d. Application (provide 2 examples) of the theory by the original scholar during that time
e. Current application of the theory (today?s example)

I assure you that 98% of referred text has been cited. Thanks for reading!

What exactly is the question for this essay?

And warning: I smell some plagiarised bits here and there…just take care with how you word bits you have taken off books AND how you paraphrase them as well.
