1. What is popular right now in movies, magazines, blogs, videos, and music? Focus on a few key concepts you can identify in a specific popular movie, for example. Feel free to post a link to a video clip to illustrate your points.
2. What makes a movie, magazine, blog, video, or music popular?
3. Who decides what is and is not popular?
4. Why do people differ in their perceptions of what is popular?
5. How does popular culture influence you in your everyday life?
Remember that all blog entries need to have at least one scholarly, credible source cited right in your contribution to support your key claims (i.e., include proper in-text citations according to the style manual of your choice).
