Discussion Post
We will continue our exploration of wellness through the four general education lenses and the humanities, with a focus on art and culture.
Review the module resources and overview, then select a popular culture example. (It can be a television show, a commercial, a game, a movie, etc.) Analyze the representation and social message that is associated with the example. If you like, you can select a particular episode of a show.
In your initial post, briefly describe the popular culture example you selected and address the following:
1) Share a link and/or summarize your topic so that we all have enough information to understand your discussion even if we are unfamiliar with the example.
2) Discuss how your example relates to the concept of wellness as defined in this course and how it relates to specific challenges or supports of wellness.
3) What are the social implications of this message? Briefly discuss any potential social impact or response to the example.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
