Week 5 / Blog 5

My favorite part of this course was that we got to watch television and then write about it, all for a grade! If that is not the best class ever, I don't know what is. I liked reading what my classmates observed while watching their shows and some even peaked my interest to watch those as well.

I feel like I definitely gained a greater understanding of the television shows I was analyzing. Of course, I notice things when I watch it purely for entertainment, but I grabbed so much more insight when I actually analyzed the show I was watching in depth.

I think it is value to study pop culture so that you can get a better understanding of the culture that is happening right now. Studying pop culture allows you to understand the ways of society and how it works at the moment.
