Today’s society is filled with unrealistic representations of what it means to be successful. People often emulate the culture represented through advertisements and social media. As a result, people lack finding their individuality, due to conforming to advertisements’ norms and popular culture. This is shown throughout James B. Twitchell’s “What We Are to Advertisers.” Twitchell explains that following advertisements, consumption communities are often formed, eventually leading to stereotypes…

In English 100, peer reviewing rough draft essays has been a helpful process that has helped me improve in my writing. I used peer reviewing as a tool to make the necessary corrections that were needed in one of my essays. The comments and grammar suggestions from my peers have been useful to make modifications in my writing. For example, when I received a graded paper back, I read over the peer review comments and used what was needed to make the Essay stronger. If a comment stated to include…

Grammar - This is extremely important for staff members and ties into maturity as well. Staff who talk with bad grammar look very childish and like they really don’t care about what they’re doing or who sees it. It almost makes it looks like that staff member is being lazy and they just don’t want to put in the effort required to talk in correct grammar and look professional. For that reason I think grammar is extremely important and although mine is not perfect, I strive to use the best grammar…

Culture is a kind of behavior between the interactions of people, groups or individual. It can be differentiating in religion, language, habits, arts and food.

A low-context culture is a society “in which the media that are produced and consumed are generally straightforward,” while a high-context culture is a society in which “both the producers and the consumers (the audience) of a media content the actual words, images and stories heavily depend on a shared understanding of the context within which that media content is presented.” (Sterin, 2014) Using these definitions, cyberbullying can reasonably be considered high culture. Cyberbullying…

To study popular culture is to challenge the assumption that high culture carries worth, and low culture is the binary opposite therefore lacking in value. Popular culture, is the everyday ordinariness of life (Williams 1958: 93) and saturates everyday life. Popular culture is so widespread that its presence cannot be ignored within an academic study of humanities. The dilemmas surrounding popular culture originate from definition: in defining it with recognition to its historical subjugation to…

OMG did you here? i know right!!!! its crazzzyyy! In this day and age, texting is one of the main types of communication. Whether children choose to use correct grammar when texting, do they really know proper grammar for everyday use? Some people claim that children still have the capability to use proper grammar skills, and that they just choose not to. Others believe that children really do not know any better. With the belief that texting does not effect children’s grammar, one must wonder…

somewhere in the middle. When texting or messaging on Facebook, proper grammar is the furthest thing from my mind. However, if I have to write an academic paper I would choose to lean more towards the prescriptive style. What it comes down to is the context of the situation one is in. I do not advocate for throwing away the structure and standards of the English language, however proper grammar is not necessary in certain social situations. It is not necessary while texting a friend, but it is…

Barbery is essentially arguing that grammar “is a way to attain beauty,” and for the most part, this is true. The application of grammatical rules is really how one coherently conveys a message to their audience -- after all, grammar itself is what allows speakers to understand one another. The ability to “manipulate” these rules, so to speak, may be what Barbery subsequently means by “applying the rules of grammar skillfully” -- the application of different grammatical rules and processes can…
