In this final discussion, look back on your experiences in the course and thoughtfully reflect on what you have learned.

Each discussion is meant to be a collaborative space for conversation in which to process the concepts within the course. To ensure an interesting and respectful discussion, you are encouraged to think creatively about your initial posts and build upon the points made by your peers. Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful towards your peers and instructor in your discussion post and replies.

Create one initial post and follow up with at least two response posts.

For your initial post, address the following:

1. How has your understanding of popular culture been enhanced by analyzing it through the four lenses?
2. How do you believe the critical analysis skills learned in this course could help you overcome personal, academic, and/or professional obstacles?
