UCS 20201 Iglesias-Villamel - How Does Pop Culture Shape Our Life Stories: Home

Pop culture under the microscope.

How does it shape society - for better or worse?

Think of research as a conversation — read widely to hear what scholars have said and then add your own voice.

Understanding your Assignment

• Choose a pop culture artifact (movie, TV show, song, ad, social media trend) not discussed in class.
• Focus on one aspect (e.g., gender roles, violence, relationships, identity).
• Analyze how that aspect is represented and evaluate its positive or negative impact on society.
• Support your points with at least 3 scholarly secondary sources.
• Format in MLA style
