Evidence: You will use evidence to support your analysis throughout the project.
Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis. Use at least two resources from the module resources sections of this course and two resources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library.
It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspectives from varied sources to support the analysis, which is different from the Citations and Attributions rubric criterion.
Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself. Citing and attributing sources will be represented as APA in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your work.
You will be evaluated on both criteria.
Topic Description: In this section, you will identify and discuss the factors that shape your thesis statement.
Describe the area of popular culture that you will analyze and a specific example that represents this area by using effective details.
Effective details include the kind of popular culture it is, where it exists, how people engage with it, or what value they get from engaging with it.
Describe the relationships between the example you chose, the area of popular culture it represents, and the population that engages with this area of popular culture by using effective details.
Effective details about the example include how it represents or is connected to this area of popular culture.
Effective details about the population include demographics, cultural practices, social identity, or key aspects.

What is Representation?
Outcome #1: Define representation and its interaction with pop culture
According to O’Brien and Szeman (2014), representation is:
The social production of meaning through sign systems (i.e., words, images, gestures). Representation involves making meaning by creating links between conceptual and linguistic or signifying levels of meaning—links that are established through codes shared by members of a culture. Inseparable from socially specific processes of ideology and mythology, representation constructs the world in particular ways that have significant bearing on the organization of society. (p. 365)

1. Watch the movie The Social Dilemma on Netflix and then discuss in specific terms how it represents an hegemonic struggle occurring currently in the cultural worlds of the internet and social media. The movie has somewhat of a left slant to it – you can write in a way that supports that slant or you can take issue with, and argue, against that slant. Most importantly is that you identify a situation of hegemonic struggle that you see in the movie and that you use the terms resistance and incorporation to describe how that hegemonic struggle plays out. Remember, be specific!

I have watched the video posted by Crashcourse (2017) with keen interest and I find it intriguing, especially when I imagine and reflect on the concept within the scope of my cultural background. I agree with the speaker that culture is, indeed, a complex concept and is consisting of many different factors that influence and distinguish one culture from another. Prior to watching the video, my knowledge on culture was inclined on the major cultural factors such as nationality, language and religion. These major cultural factors succinctly distinguish major cultures, especially within the national boundaries. With such factors, it becomes easier to identify the differences between the predominant national cultures. For example, Indian culture versus Canadian culture can easily be segregated on the basis of the language and religion.
On the flip side, the speaker in the video demonstrated something that expanded my knowledge and formed the basis of this reflection. The speaker stated that geographical confinement is not an assurance to having a unique culture. That is, not all people coming from one country can be categorized under the same culture. This can be extended to language as well as not everyone who speaks the same language belongs to the same culture. In reflection to this concept, I will give my cultural orientation. I am an Indian citizen and I affiliate with the Indian culture on a macro-level. The Indian culture clearly distinguishes me from the culture of an individual from a different country, say, Brazil. However, even in Indian, there is no unique culture that everyone can affiliate to. Instead, there are numerous subcultures which are further segregated on the basis of numerous smaller factors. Back to the Indian case, I belong to a subculture that is not dominant within the nation. Applying the concept of conflict theory, I am aware of the numerous challenges members of my immediate culture face through the normalization of cultural values by the dominant cultures and considering some of our unique cultural beliefs as unaccepted.
In Canada, the concept that I find relatable in the video is the idea of multiculturalism and cultural diffusion. Although there is multiculturalism even in India, the differences between the sub-cultures are very narrow thus giving the impression as though it is a single large culture. In Canada, the differences between the cultures are succinctly evidenced and the acceptance of the various cultures within the society is greater. As such, Canadian society is more multicultural society with many cultures coexisting together. Due to this coexistence of many cultures (not necessarily peaceful since conflict theory applies even in Canada), there is cultural integration and cultural diffusion. In my case, for example, I have found gone out to buy clothes which are unique to other cultures but I now find them interesting. I have also been open to test food from other cultures and now I am one person who must eat at least one meal from Mexican restaurants. These new things I try and accept are due to cultural diffusion and is brought about by multiculturalism. My wardrobe and food preference is still heavily inclined on the Indian culture but I have to appreciate that cultural diffusion has significantly affected them right now.
