San Diego State University Maasik and Solomon Mass Culture Questions

0 comments

I’m working on a english question and need a sample draft to help me understand better.

To begin, we will read the textbook introduction titled “Popular Signs: Or, Everything You Always Knew about American Culture (but Nobody Asked)” 

  1. cut and paste the questions below and answer them in complete sentences.
    1. Under the heading “From Folk to For-Profit,” how do Maasik and Solomon define “popular or ‘low’ culture”?
    2. In that same heading, what is “mass culture” and how is it different from “popular culture”?
    3. On pages 5 – 6, how has capitalism impacted us as consumers and changed our “our cultural consciousness”?
    4. Under the heading “Pop Culture Goes to College,” how do the editors define “signs”?
    5. Under the heading “The Semiotic Method,” what is “semiotics”? Why do we need to study signs within a system or code to determine its meaning? Explain.
    6. Under the heading “Of Myths and Men,” what is “cultural mythology” and how does it impact our behavior?
