I thought that taking this class as an elective would be a good time. I want to enjoy the classes I’m allowed to choose on my own and not dictated to me by the university. Let me start with a caveat, I don’t think the American obsession with pop culture is in, anyway, healthy. That then begs the question, why would I take this class? Well, I think it’s important to have an understanding of something I’m going to disagree with. I think all too often people hold beliefs or opinions that they can’t back up with information and facts. They instead rely solely on emotion, which is an argument easy to deconstruct. I think if more people took this class that there would be a wider understanding of a healthy balance with pop culture and everyday life. Let me put in a second caveat; I don’t disregard pop culture all together. I use twitter, am Facebook savvy, and watch certain television shows. However, I think that some people do take it too far, and at a certain point it becomes almost scary the level of obsession. As with all things in life, there is a certain balance that must be struck between the glitz and glamour of popular culture and the mundane (at times) life of a college student in Muncie, IN. With all these convictions and thoughts I thought it would be perfect to take this class. I have a certain expectation that I will be shown extremes on both ends of the spectrum, and that I’ll come away with a better understanding of what popular culture is to me.
