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)”
- cut and paste the questions below and answer them in complete sentences.
- Under the heading “From Folk to For-Profit,” how do Maasik and Solomon define “popular or ‘low’ culture”?
- In that same heading, what is “mass culture” and how is it different from “popular culture”?
- On pages 5 – 6, how has capitalism impacted us as consumers and changed our “our cultural consciousness”?
- Under the heading “Pop Culture Goes to College,” how do the editors define “signs”?
- 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.
- Under the heading “Of Myths and Men,” what is “cultural mythology” and how does it impact our behavior?
