Discussion Board 6: The Message of Pop Culture
Description:
It is common knowledge that media communicates messages, both reflecting social norms and reinforcing specific ideas of who we are and how we should act. When considering popular culture and the messages embedded in a given song, video, television show, movie, or magazine advertisement, sociology directs us to consider the image itself, the viewer and the one viewed, the social implications, and the context of the industry from which the media is produced, among other things.
