Idea 1: How progressive shows like Modern family/Breaking Bad reflect the ideals of the millennial generation...or something to that affect
Idea 2: The effect of viral videos online in the public sphere and how they positively and negatively can change the outcomes/momentum of a campaign. Maybe focusing on Obama's first run for candidacy
The readings that stuck with me the most are the public sphere, millennial generation, and maybe the recent one on race/minstrelsy. Not sold on any one topic thus far though.
I am leaving this comment because it will not let me post otherwise.
ReplyDeleteProspectus topics:
1. How First Lady Michelle Obama's social campaign on obesity was a form of invitational rhetoric.
2. Edward Snowden revealing details of classified government information relates to the public sphere idea on what should be shares.
3. The Syria civil war relating to media shaping politics
This is for Wynter: I prefer the Michelle Obama obesity campaign, but all of these are good. And the reading pairings sound great!

ReplyDeleteEddie: I prefer the viral video one, only because the Modern Family/Breaking Bad one could become very difficult to do in the length you're assigned. I think it might help to choose a few specific viral videos so that you're providing an in-depth analysis rather than a superficial analysis of a lot of them. I like your public sphere pairing!
