Homework for Tuesday, March 24th
We just watched a dvd on Postmodernism. You have a full week to look at and/or hear something that is clearly a Postmodern idea or concept in regards to its worldview. Whether it be in music lyrics, a book, a commercial, a tv show or a movie. I want three examples. If you can one from a tv show, a movie and a song or from a book or commercial. If you do not watch tv then from the other choices. Be aware of what is being said or depicted in your viewing and/or listening. Write a clear paragraph on each one of your acknowledgements of said inference of Postmodernism. I just watched one in the new series "The Flash" on the CW network. Clearly a postmodern view and acceptance.

Homework for Tuesday Feb 10
I am writing this to clarify why I do movies in class and have you critic them. We live in a pop culture age. From music, tv shows, fashion, advertising, concerts, books and comic books, to movies. Whether we like it or not the culture and pop culture effects us all the time. Our interactions with others, our taking in of info from friends and general media, etc. I want you, the class, to be able to see when something is "creeping" into that brain of yours and be able to identify it as friend, foe or neither. It is hard to find movies to every ones liking and have enough content in it to be able to identify these markers of worldview position. I will present a list below and you may look at the list and go over it with your parents and se if we can come to an agreement that is suitable for all of the Worldview class. Thank you for thoughtful consideration.
