Write an informative (and surprising) academic essay based on library/internet research about an aspect of global popular culture of your own choice. Your essay should be approximately 1,000 words (3 double-spaced pages), with 1-inch margins and 12 pt. Times New Roman font. The paper should explain something to readers (the members of the class, including the teacher, and other students of global popular culture) that will strike the audience as interesting, in part because it is new and thus in some way surprising. See our readings on D2L for an explanation of the informative (and surprising) essay. In this essay you should:
Choose an aspect of global popular culture that interests you (and others).

Work with at least three research sources to reflect multiple perspectives on the topic.
Work with at least one research source written from a non-U.S. perspective and at least one source from a perspective within the U.S.
Assume an audience who is involved in a common conversation about global popular culture and has basic background knowledge of the subject, but perhaps a “mistaken or overly narrow” view. Break readers away from their common, Inadequately informed viewpoints by inviting them to consider a new and surprising view. Also remember not to simply summarize your sources; instead, use the rhetorical strategies that we developed in Unit 1 in order to side with or against your sources (or do a mixture of both) and to advance your own thesis.
Here are some ideas:
