Once you selected your issue, you researched how this issue is approached in the field of popular culture.

Film
Episodic moving image (TV shows-may be broadcast or streamed)
Music
Music videos
Fashion
Advertising
Animation (general animation/cartoons such as Disney or Warner Brothers, or genre-specific animation such as Japanese anime)
Food
Printed material (books, magazines, manga, comic books, or graphic novels)
You investigated access and distribution of your popular culture artifacts.
You selected an additional artifact and looked at how this new artifact defines or disrupts "normal" in relationship to your issue today.
You reflect on your work and construct a completed Final Project. In addition to revising your previous work into a cohesive paper, you will add one additional component.
Select a second issue that is related to at least one of your chosen artifacts and discuss how it conveys information about this second issue, synthesizing what you have learned. For example, if you are working with the issue of violence and how it relates to your chosen popular culture artifacts, select one of those artifacts and discuss how it might relate to gender.
