My research is about the history of two popular culture
category broadcasts that will allow you to understand how
social values have changed about women. My
artifacts/expressions from the past are the television series,
Bewitched, starring Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York, from
2. the year 1964 and Everything, But a Men, starring Jimmy Jean
Louis and Monica Calhoun. Those broadcast biases underscore
the double-standards about the role of women through the
transformation of cultural and social norms. This paper aims to
use the two culture category broadcasts to compare social issue
messaging about the role of women from the 1960s and to now.
Throughout history, consider that women have always played a
significant, yet devalued, role in our society. Women have
raised presidents, professors, doctors, while managing all
aspects of family and household etc. However, society is still
grappling with acceptance of women’s success and reconciling
the changing role of women as they weave across the spectrum
of choices in either becoming a wife, mother, a professional
women or the inevitable and societal role of fulfilling all three.
In 1964 when the first episode bewitched came out, they portray
woman as a person that need to stay home, clean, serve there
Husband, the house and kids only. Then, on the “Everything But
A Man” which came out in the twenty first century it
continuously portrait woman as a person that need to continuous
to do the same house essential duties plus a successful career.
This movie was about a cheerfully single career woman finds
unexpected love with a man from another culture, but their
drastic lifestyle differences cause as much conflict as there is
chemistry between them. The staring man in the movie used
with a woman that always say yes master and always in the
kitchen no matter what if the men does not have too much to
offer financially, in the movie the express that women even
pouch themselves in a higher level education they still expected
to cook and treat him as a king and provided for the family. The
society need to understand that a woman is very powerful tool
that can be used for the success of the world. But man feel
intimated when an independent woman can manage to reach
professional success, which make them feel that they are losing
control of their dominant side. Because we can still be
successful in career as well in the family without getting extra
help. Again it’s our loss because society always asking us to
3. modified our life to accommodate the way the society portrait
us. The Media that are play a great role on woman success today
has not done a great job, by sharing with the world, the
evolution from the kitchen to the desk with letting the world
known that we do not belong to the kitchen only. They need to
know that women can choose of being a professional that does
not need to come home to do a second job. The thanks doesn’t
go only to media but also to all the strong woman such as Eva
Peronne that Media portrait her life from a movie and song title
“don’t cry for me Argentina”. Her story was about a woman
who was a prostituted on the street and become the first lady of
Argentina. Media has become a very powerful tool for the
evolution of how to see or learn to accept other as a part of our
society. But they need to do a better job on portrait how women
should be in the society.
Issue – Sexuality/Gender
Television
Artifacts/Expressions – “Bewitched” (1964) compared to
“everything but a Men” (2016) this comparison indicates that
the audience and messaging has not changed too much. But it
has been improved a little bit, because now day’s media
broadcast a lot about woman career success. Although company
still bias about what women can contribute financially as an
income to their family, but it a bit better then stay behi nd the
scene. So my question is, what they are afraid off? Why it is so
hard for the change to goes up to the moon? Media need to
allow the society to understand of how to stop bias again
woman. We need to own the scene completely, I has said before
on my discussion paper, behind each successful men there is a
great mom and a great Wife. So please let’s make woman equal
to man. Because “sex” refers to biological characteristics and
“gender” refers to individuals that the society views of sexuality
4. and the malleable concepts of masculinity and femininity.
Animation and printed Material

How the distribution mechanism control the issues addressed in
the content of the artifacts.
The media is very significant in the perpetuation of ideologies
and norms that concern a number of societal issues such as
gender especially through animation and printed material
artefacts. This is through the use of images, and also characters
that depicts a conscience representation of ideas and values.
Basically, the animated and printed media artefacts are neither
neutral nor objective in their impartation of various ideologies.
It is also important to note that the media is a mix of the reality
of what happens in the society as regards issues of gender and
the conveyance of ideas on the same (The Critical Media
Project, 2013). The animated artifacts and also the print media
artefacts heavily present their genres and gender stereotypes
through well designed images and other representations.
Whether through the fictional media, those involved in their
production make choices offer light to the audiences on the use
of characters and their features.
Different meanings around the issues on gender are represented
by the animated and print media artefacts and that plays a major
role in creating meaning and value around the same matter. The
media just act as a channel of distributing what has come from
the corners of power and that are intended to direct shape the
5. and understand the people and cultural practices that surround
us.
Control of the distribution of popular culture artifacts/elements.
The control of the distribution of the animated and printed
material artefacts on issues such as gender is largely controlled
by the several parties that take part in the production of the
contents. These include the screen writers, directors, those who
design the costumes and also the casting agents. Working
interdependently, they are responsible for the choices that
purpose to help the audience better understand the characters
and what they stand for. This is through a number of methods
such as use of clothing and relevant makeups as well as the
character speakers.
The other role they play is making deliberate choices on the
stories they tell and other frames for story telling which is non-
fictional. On the same part, the Federal law strictly prohibits
any distribution of content that is obscene, indecent and profane
through the animated or printed material artefacts. The law put
further diction on what artefacts are obscene, indecent and
profane at the same time (The FCC,2013).
Ways that the controller of distribution affect the shared
experience of the audience and community.
The use of animated and printed material artefacts aid in the
sharing of meaning by the use of symbolic messages that reach
a wide audience and the regional community at large. It
becomes hard sometimes to get the difference of the messages
conveyed since individuals can share some messages that are
only meant for particular recipients in given region. The way
some gender based information for instance is distributed to the
receivers could cause an overlap of communication and the final
message shared out. The distribution affect how people who
belong to the same level such as working class receive the
information and their utilization of it to derive some idea on
issues that affect them regionally. Through the enforcement of
the federal law on obscenity, indecency and profanity, the
content that reach an intended audience in a certain region may
6. be shared in a restricted manner such as late hours of the day to
avoid reaching the young children for instance.

Running head: FINAL PROJECT 1
FINAL PROJECT 3
Final Project Milestone- Music
Week4
Walden University
Final Project Milestone- Music.
The argument focuses on popular culture and how the artefacts
of popular culture have changed society’s values. One of the
valuable artefacts to consider in popular culture is music which
for quite a while is considered a tool of information. Music is
7. mainly viewed from the perspective of the entertainment
forgetting in the entertainment there can be the passing of the
message with ease because of the large number of people that
can be reached in the short or first listening. Music and other
artefacts like movies and social media have contributed to the
global transformation of the globe into the American way of
life. The music that is passed across the globe has kept the other
people across the globe trying to emulate the way the people in
the American popular culture are singing or carrying out
themselves while singing (Crothers, 2021).
There have been considerate reporting of the occurrences of
road accidents which have been attributed to the popular culture
being that some of the songs are propelling or spreading
violence (Brodsky et al.2018). Some of the kinds of music that
are being listened to by the drivers are considered very violent
hence forcing most of the lovers of the artefact to promote
insecurity to themselves and other people. The amount of the
information that can be passed by the usage of music is so big
and being that the rhythms and rhyme make listening to the
beats pleasing to the ears making it easy to pass both good and
violent songs easy. Most specifically, we look at aversive music
styles and songs with violent lyrics.
The accidents attributed to the pop culture with aggressive
lyrics demonstrate that energetic music boosted excitement
resulting in decreased lateral control. But all the same look at
the perspective of the music providing excitement that can also
provide the comfort to allow for focusing on the road while
driving to ensure safety is achieved. Music is seen to trigger
emotions hence its soothing effect also provides the value of
healing the society from the bondage of pains like heartbreaks
and social disturbances hence the advisory effect of the popular
culture cannot be ignored. When soothing a problem in society
is the beginning of solving the problem providing the
psychological healing that is required by the psychiatrist.

Gender roles can be predisposed labels, which create
expectations for appropriate behavior for males and females.
The topic of gender is important to address because it
sometimes seems to be overlooked in our society by other
issues. Gender can be overlooked by mass media, family,
environment, society and even culture. In some culture Gender
can be address with violence and some other may address with
legal law to avoid discrimination. In today’s civilization,
gender is more than just being a man or women. It can be
10. identified by bisexual, heterosexual and homosexual. According
to planned parenthood.com “Gender roles in society means how
we're expected to act, speak, dress, groom, and conduct
ourselves based upon our assigned sex.” But those type of bias
can automatically tagged as sexism. Society should not be able
to determine a person life, Said Dr, DaShanne Stokes: it’s not
about what you are, but it is all about who you are.

Quote 1 about my issue and my first category:
“Violence in animated cartoons is rampant. Characters hit each
other with mallets, run
Off, or are pushed off cliffs. Consider one of the original
openings so the Roadrunner
Cartoons (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwYQsZuh2CM).
The character Wiley E
Coyote is hit by a boulder, blown up by a grenade, and crashes
into a tunnel wall. But,
he is fine. Violence disrupts and shapes society.”

Quote 2: “Wherever you find a great man, you will find a great
mother or a great wife standing behind him. It would be
interesting to know how many great women have had great
fathers and husbands behind them.”
13. • Social and economic class
• Violence
• Indecency/free speech
Once you have selected your issue, research how this issue is
approached in the field
of popular culture. Refer to the Learning Resources and the
Walden Library Course
Guide for this class.
On the worksheet, explain why you are interested in this issue.
This will serve as the
rough draft of your Final Project introductory paragraph. Refer
to at least one
academically relevant source, either from our classroom, the
Walden Library, or
Google Scholar, that supports your interest in the issue.
Select two popular culture categories as defined in this course.
• Film
• Episodic moving image (TV shows—may be broadcast or
streamed)
• Music
• Music videos
• Fashion
• Advertising
14. • Animation (general animation/cartoons such as Disney or
Warner
Brothers, or genre-specific animation such as Japanese anime)

Using the resources available in the classroom, the Walden
Library, Google Scholar, or
other academically relevant source, identify two quotes that
discuss your chosen issue
and each of the modern popular culture categories you have
chosen. Each quote
should be ABOUT the social issue AND the popular culture
category. Record the
full bibliographic details for these quotes so that you can
include them in your Final
Project.
After completing the worksheet, you will have selected your
issue, the categories of
popular culture you will further research, a draft introductory
paragraph project, and
three academically relevant resources for inclusion in your
Final Project.
Week 2—Milestone 2: History
Research the history of at least one of your chosen popular
culture categories and your
15. chosen social issue. The history should cover approximately 50
years but may be
longer. Do this by selecting two popular culture
artifacts/expressions within the category
and discussing how social issue messaging within the category
has changed over time.
These artifacts/expressions serve as your specific examples.
Include a description of
how the audience has changed over time. Example:
Issue – Sexuality/Gender
Category – Television (Episodic moving image)
Artifacts/Expressions – I Love Lucy (1951) compared to The
Good
Place (2016), or, All in the Family (1971) compared to Modern
Family
(2009)
If your research indicates that the audience and messaging has
not changed,
hypothesize why that might be.
Week 3—Milestone 3: Access and Distribution
Investigate access and distribution of your popular culture
artifacts/expressions.
Determine who influences the distribution of your selected
popular culture
artifacts/expressions. Determine the ways in which the
controller of distribution affects
the shared experience of the audience and community. Consider
how the distribution
mechanism influences the issues addressed in the content.
16. Week 4—Milestone 4: Change
Select one more popular culture artifact/expressions. (Note: you
should now have three
to five artifacts/expressions – two to four from Week 2 and one
from Week 4.) Analyze
how popular culture influences society’s values and whether
society’s values influence
popular culture.
Week 5—Final Project
Revise and combine the Milestones from Weeks 1 through 4,
including quotes, sources,
draft introductory paragraph and incorporating Instructor
feedback from the Grade Book.
Add one more component by analyzing how a second issue
relates to at least one of
your artifacts/expressions. Example:
Issue – Sexuality/Gender
Categories – Movies and Music
Artifacts/Expressions –
Movies: Titanic (1997); Star Wars Episode VII The Force
Awakens
(2015)
Music: “Take Me to Church” by Hozier (2013); “Follow your
Arrow”
by Kacey Musgraves (2013)
17. NEW ISSUE + at least one artifact/expression – Violence in
Titanic (1997).
Include any new research. Be sure to include an introduction, a
conclusion, and
references to all of your sources AND your
artifacts/expressions.
The whole paper should be formatted according to the guidance
provided by the
Walden Writing Center’s Undergraduate Paper Template found

Values
Does popular culture change society’s values, or does popular
18. culture reflect the values already present in society? What role
does popular culture play in defining what is normal, what is
cool, or what is unacceptable? How do we maintain a moral
compass in collaboration with cultural expression? These
questions throw some issues into stark relief and act as
aftereffects of climactic events.
The Learning Resources this week focus on the ways in which
popular culture in the United States responded to the events of
September 2001. Similar comparisons could be made to the
popular culture response in Britain after the London July 2005
bombings and in Madrid, Spain, after the 2004 train bombings.
Events that provoke a public emotional reaction also shift
popular culture expressions. Sometimes this includes self-
censorship, support for patriotism, or a dominant ideology.
Consider these ideas as you prepare your Final Project as this
week’s.

19. The work you have done in Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4 has been
building blocks for your Final Project.
In Week 1, you selected one of the following social issues:
· Race/ethnicity
· Sexuality
· Gender
· Social and economic class
· Violence
· Indecency/free speech
You also selected two popular culture categories from the
following list:
· Film
· Episodic moving image (TV shows—may be broadcast or
streamed)
· Music
· Music videos
· Fashion
· Advertising
· Animation (general animation/cartoons such as Disney or
Warner Brothers, or genre-specific animation such as Japanese
anime)
· Food
· Printed material (books, magazines, manga, comic books, or
graphic novels)
· Video gaming
You also identified 3 academically relevant sources and dr afted
an introductory paragraph.
In Week 2, you researched how social issue messaging and
audiences change over time by comparing and contrasting
specific popular culture artifacts/expressions within your
chosen categories.
20. In Week 3, you investigated access and distribution of your
popular culture artifacts/expressions.
In Week 4, you selected an additional artifact/expression and
looked at how this new artifact/expression defines or disrupts
“normal” in relationship to your issue today.
This week you reflect on your work and construct a completed
Final Project. In addition to revising your previous work into a
cohesive paper, you will add one additional component.
Select a second issue that is related to at least one of your
chosen artifacts/expressions and discuss how it conveys
information about this second issue, synthesizing what you have
learned. For example, if you are working with the issue of
violence and how it relates to your chosen popular culture
artifacts, select one of those artifacts and discuss how it might
relate to gender. See the Week 1 Final Project Summary
resource for an example.
Revise the work so that it becomes a unified essay with an
introduction, transitions, a conclusion, and the required
references.
Submit your Project, which should consist of a 1,500- to 2,000-
word paper in which you do the following:
· Discuss the history of your social issue as expressed in
popular culture in general.
· Define the audience for each of your popular culture
categories and explore whether social issue messaging and the
audience has changed in any way. Consider whether the
audience is local, global, or regional.
· Discuss what each of your example popular culture
artifacts/expressions communicates regarding your issue.
· Analyze how at least one additional social issue relates to at
least one of your popular culture artifacts/expressions.
21. · Analyze access and distribution limitations for each of your
popular culture artifacts/expressions.
· Determine whether or not access and distribution forces
control content. Explain your reasoning.
· Explain whether your popular culture artifacts/expressions
send messages that define social values or provoke change.
· Analyze how your example popular culture
artifacts/expressions connect or do not connect with your
personal values.
The final paper should include:
· A full revision of the Milestones from Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Check for overall structure and appropriate transitions between
sections of the text. Please refer to the resources available on
the Walden Writing Center site to help with this.
· The References page should include at least five academically
relevant resources as well as the full listings for your popular
culture artifacts/expressions. Use the Final Project Worksheet
from Week 1 to help with this.
