Reflection on Process-#9

Overall, I enjoyed the process of writing the blog.  My favorite part of doing the blog entries was looking for the right picture or video to capture the essence of my blog post.    It was challenging connecting the assigned text directly with the pop culture example.  Doing this, required a lot of creative analysis.  This project taught me to become a more critical reader of pop culture.  Instead of passively absorbing the messages that are given to me , I now have the tools from this class to challenge the textual ambivalence of most popular culture texts.  Many texts such as Lady Gaga appropriate aspects of feminism for commercial means, does this cheapen the message of feminism?  In the future, I plan on maintaining a blog on hip hop.
