Third Entry

Now that we have read six articles for Popular Culture, look back on those six articles (from Aug. 31-Sep. 14) and explain which of these six articles provides the most provocative and interesting information for the reader.  Why is this information interesting?  Is this information also something that is important for the reader to know or think about?  Why or why not?


The pieces that I found most provocative would probably be 10 Seconds to Love, Porn, and Victoria Secret.   Each one of these pieces has different aspects that make them provocative in one way or another, for example, when the author declares that Pamela Anderson is not a real person in 10 Seconds to love it has the potential to create deep feelings in people.    Even though a lot of the piece is opinion based it brings together some very interesting points.   One such example is that our society has changed the way we view sexy and that can be seen in the change of our sexual icons.   Porn, if because of nothing other than the subject matter, is extremely provocative.   It is extremely interesting to see the view of society and the class and realize that they do indeed coincide.    It is very important to think about the information that all of these pieces are giving and to see if indeed that is how we want our society to be.

  1. You mention the "Victoria's Secret" article in your first sentence, but don't really go into what you're getting out of that article in specific. Which parts in your paragraph are you using to bring out the major points in the VS article? It isn't entirely clear to me.
