Drawing on the readings, lecture, and video write a short essay
(700-750 words), analyzing 1984 Apple advertisement in relation to
religion and popular culture. How does this commercial confirm or
undermine some of the themes we have so far learned in this course?
Dissecting the advertisement, point out various elements in the video
that allows Apple to portray an ideal image of the brand. Does this
image of the brand align with the ideal image of the United States? if
so how? How may some see this commercial as patriotic and what are some
arguments against it? What do those for and against arguments say about
the view of the people?

you need to draw on the readings (cite at least 4 of the course readings). Please make sure to cite properly and provide a bibliography in the end. Keep in mind that the word account does not include your bibliography. We will provide criteria for the paper but overall you will be graded based on the same criteria you had for the reflection papers, e.g. the significance and relevance of the topic, the quality of your argument and analysis, drawing on and engaging with the course readings (here you have at least 4 readings instead of 2)—you may also draw on other course materials as well as those you find relevant but we had not assigned for this course—and finally the quality of your writing, the format, citation, and bibliography. Please use double space, 12–inch font format.
