1. How does popular culture assist our understanding of social divisions? Discuss using at least two examples taken from race, gender, class, sexuality or ethnicity.
2. Can using the 'sociological imagination' assist our understanding of the appeal of popular cultural artefacts?
3. How does an understanding of the ‘popular’ assist an analysis of the differences between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture?
One example of how popular culture assists our understanding of social divisions is through the various types of media that are available. For example, television shows and movies can often portray different social classes in an interesting or informative way. Another example is how music can be used to convey messages about race or ethnicity. Popular culture can help us to better understand these social divisions and the ways that they are expressed in our society.
Popular culture can also help us to understand social change. For example, the way that people dress or the music that they listen to can often be indicative of changes in society. By understanding these changes, we can better adapt to them and make sure that we are not left behind.
