I personally learned A LOT from this class. I now view things in our culture a little bit differently than how I did when coming into this class. "Fake Love" is something that changed everything for me--the way I see movies, hear songs, and even books... 3 things I love very very much. Another thing that changed my outlook on the world was gender & sex in the media. I knew advertisements were sometimes sexist but in this class I learned that it was so much more. Even things so small like a cigarette could be sexist.
Popular Culture should be something everyone studies because it teaches you how and why your generation is the way it is while stringing it back to the beginning of time. Social media, music, sex, gender pressures, advertisements, sports, TV, race, and even previous generations sculpt our culture.
The study of Popular Culture made me more aware of the world we live in and I believe anyone who takes a class like this will benefit from it as well.
