1.    What does Harry Potter show us about the globalization of culture?
Please note: Im not asking an economic question. Harry Potter has been a global phenomenon. Im not asking about sales figures. Please don’t try and make a point about it being read worldwide.
2.    How has the representation of the LGBT community changed in popular culture? Do you think things have change in the three or four short years since Kidd wrote his text?
3.    How has popular culture responded to the virus and our quarantines?
4.    The first two clips are two consecutive scenes from one of the most popular cult movies of all time. This definitely fits the notion of popular culture as carnival/circus/sensationalistic

Do you think a film like this could be made today?
And Watch these videos…..there is a trend in pop music to be more and more sexually outrages and/or expressive since the 1950s. The lines of “decency” have been pushed considerably, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Do you think it is possible to be sensationalistic sexually anymore? (without crossing the lines into porn) Or do you think that is missing the trend that is happening?
The first three were scandalous due to the sexuality in them, but perhaps they seem tame today. The fourth makes me ask, “Where did Sexy go?”

We have encountered the concept that “food is more than sustenance” multiple tim

/in /by

We have encountered the concept that “food is more than sustenance” multiple times
in multiple ways in our readings this quarter.
a). Explain what this concept means to you. Compare and contrast three instances
(drawn from the readings, you may supplement with material from lectures) in which it
has become clear that the social and/or physiological role of food goes beyond its
component calories, macronutrient content or vitamin and mineral micronutrients.
b). Explain why, exactly, food is more than sustenance in these cases.
c). Does thinking about food differently (as more than its component nutrients) make a
practical difference to the relevant policy decisions, health recommendations, food
choices, food justice approaches, or food science in these cases? (750 words or less)

The first half of this course emphasized three traditions of sociological theori

/in /by

The first half of this course emphasized three traditions of sociological theorizing that apply to the study of social movement processes and outcomes: resource mobilization theory, political process theory, and frame analysis. Drawing upon as wide a range of both reading and lecture materials as possible, describe these three theoretical traditions in as much detail as possible. Then, after describing each theory, provide examples from specific movement cases – either from the course
readings, lecture examples, or your own reading elsewhere – that support the importance of either resources/organization, political opportunities, or cultural frames. Conclude your essay with a brief discussion of which approach you find most accurate for understanding modern social movements.

Social movements have a variety of consequences both for their members and for s

/in /by

Social movements have a variety of consequences both for their members and for society as a whole. Some of these consequences are intended, while other consequences either directly contradict the best intentions of movement activists or perhaps advance the movement’s ideals in
unexpected yet positive ways. Drawing upon as wide a range of both reading and lecture material as possible, describe these four categories of social movement consequences: intended internal, unintended internal, intended external, and unintended external. Given that sociology has had
the most to say about intended external consequences, your essay should be most detailed on that subtopic: be sure to say which specific factors tend to be the most important in determining a movement’s ability to achieve its intended goals of change in society. Conclude your essay by
describing whether social movements really “matter” in generating social change.
