<p>For an essay on popular culture, I used Britney Spears' "3" and crocs footwear to show that pop culture doesnt neccesarily reflect society;s most important values. For "3," I said society just looks to such songs as entertainment and doesn't really value sex and threesomes above everything else. I threw in a current event about recent developments using HIV to combat brain cancer to show that society is moving far along and truly values innovation above most important.</p>

<p>For crocs, I just said that it's a luxury and comfortable convenience but society doesn't really put "cheap plastic footwear" at the top of its values, and talked about how newspapers instead talk about declining values reflected by homicide, etc, not anything like fashion.</p>

<p>Ok?</p>

<p>Looks good.</p>

<p>On another point…haha on my October essay I got a 6 (FAIL)…and I’m much more confident in my essay this time. Last time I wrote the essay I used no literary/historical examples and a very murky personal example and wrote 1 page. This time I used 2 literature and 1 historical example and filled up both pages. I thought my examples were good…a 10 isn’t extreme right? I really want a 700 in writing…I got a 530 in October. Turrribleeee</p>

<p>I got a 10 on the Oct 2009 essay with 78/80 mc, and ended up with an 800. I don’t think my essay was anything spectacular. PM me if you want me to send you a screenshot of my essay from the score report</p>

<p>im curious about my essay score, i used mozart as an example for baroque popular culture, and paris hilton and her search for expression (or a reason why she is being famous) as a symptom of our always-looking-for-values culture in the second half of the 20th cent… and some third, but i dont really remember what it was… my thesis was that popular culture is only popular because it is successful, and for being successful it has to fulfil expectations and wishes of the contemporaries… therefore it always deflects the general values and views in a society… do u think that was too complicated? do you get the point? thx for answering ^^</p>
