For this assignment, you will choose any form of pop culture that you are interested in, and then pick a social issue that interests you. Your paper will discuss the ways in which your form of pop culture explores the social issue you chose: For example, Sweatshop: Dead Cheap Fashion is a reality television show that explores the harsh realities of sweatshops.
It has all of the elements of reality television, but it focuses on a major social issue. Cooked is a docu-series based off of the book of the same title that is not only a cooking show, but also highlights the issues with our food industry. You could look at sci-fi, comics, a specific genre of music, fashion industry, the "tiny house" movement, etc...Just choose a specific topic and look at it through a specific form of pop culture.
If you look at sci-fi, for example, choose one or two shows that tackle a social issue-For example, both Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Dr. Who have episodes that deal with immigration.
There are several television HGTV type shows and documentaries, and magazines that focus on the "tiny house" movement (including their use as homes for the homeless). There are a lot of options, so have fun!
