http://genderpopcg.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Gender and Pop Culture. Wednesday, March 18, 2009. One of the Most Disturbing Things I've Ever Seen. While looking around mediawatch. For something to blog about I ran across one of the most horrifically disturbing things I’ve ever seen. Apparently the Japanese video game company Illusion has made some very distasteful games, such as, RapeLay and the Battle Rapper series. After looking a bit more I came across the story line for these games. Members of the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault.

Pop Culture: Bollywood vs. Hollywood
http://julianb-popculture.blogspot.com/2009/05/bollywood-vs-hollywood.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. Bollywood vs. Hollywood. Bollywood is squaring off with Hollywood, according to Tyrell. What does this article tell us about the capacity of non-western countries to resist western culture? Should we expect Hollywood’s domination to decline further in the future? What paradoxes about culture globalization does Tyrell illustrate through the case of the Indian cinema industry? Why does Cowen call cinema “one of the hard cases for globalization”? Does Cowen worry about that issue?

Gender and Pop Culture: April 2009
http://genderpopcg.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Gender and Pop Culture. Thursday, April 30, 2009. This week in the media I came across a great non profit organization that I’d never heard of, girls write now. They teach the girls to write poems, fiction and non-fiction, also teaching them to fill out college applications and entrance essays. All of the mentors are volunteers and all of the money for this program is created by donors. I think that this program should be offered in every city. This service would be beneficial to the feminist movemen...

Pop Culture: Comics in America
http://julianb-popculture.blogspot.com/2009/05/comics-in-america.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. Another appeal of comic books is their ability to include contemporary problems that society is dealing with, “comics also made reference to current social issues such as drug use, the counterculture, the different social movements, and racism. The heroes of these comics included Spiderman, the Incredible Hulk, X-Men, and the Fantastic Four,” (Williams). One must understand that the comic book world is divided into different categories such as graphic novel and manga;. The comic boo...

Pop Culture: How to Judge Globalism
http://julianb-popculture.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-to-judge-globalism.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. How to Judge Globalism. How does Sen show that globalization is not a “western curse”? By what criteria should “globalism” be judged? What is the “central issue of concentration” in the debate about globalization? So naturally, Sen believes that the same applies today. That advancements and there for globalization should be embraced and not something feared. “To see globalization as merely Western imperialism of ideas and beliefs would be a serious and costly error,...The criteri...

Pop Culture: March 2009
http://julianb-popculture.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2009. I am recently reading the Watchmen. Graphic Novel and realized something, all super women are dressed for sex while most men are dressed for coolness or practicality (except superman. He just looks like a pansy). As a child growing up I watched Batman. And I thought he was so cool. Now that I am older I realize the only females in batman are Poison Ivy. Who is evil and Cat Women. Another show I watched was He-man Masters of the Universe. Sunday, March 8, 2009. Existence. Now t...

Pop Culture: The Impact of Globalization on Developing Nations
http://julianb-popculture.blogspot.com/2009/05/impact-of-globalization-on-developing.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. The Impact of Globalization on Developing Nations. Based on the text globalization seems like double edged sword. The problem with the text is that it does not consider the future. The question should be: what is the impact of globalization going to be in the future, based on the past? As it looks now they do not plan on changing these things. So their people will be worse off in the future than they are now based on the decline that we have observed in the past. Bollywood vs. H...
