Social Rules with a Critical Eye

Now that you've cut your teeth on the key concepts and tools of critical reading and writing, do the class reading and also turn your analytic vision on whatever you see 'out there' - keeping SOCIAL RULES in mind as the direction of your approach.

The assigned readings made me think of the ways in which a dominant culture/society can shape a subordinate one...but also made me think of how what is popularly understood to be a subordinate view/position can deliver powerful critique of the dominant culture, or highlight interdependence.

And if that doesn't work for me, I always find that comedy news helps get me thinking.
