帮我写些东西 -- 2

写一些文章 Song lyrics can say a lot about a culture. They can express the current attitudes of the times, describe gender norms, and even explain social systems on a larger scale. Carly Rae Jepsen’s pop song Call me Maybe expresses a lot about U.S. culture. It is latent with the passive female voice asking for the boy to call her if he desires. On the other hand, Justin Beiber’s song Boyfriend is a song projecting his male power, affluence, and sexual prowess. These songs can shed light on a lot of cultural trends that are hidden just under the surface. For this assignment, you will see the connections between the media and material culture. 1. Choose a material aspect of our culture (Music video, song, clothes, magazine, T.V. show, Technology, etc.) 2. What does it say to an outsider about our culture? 3. How does this relate to the readings?
