Politics and popular culture

Exam instructions:
In a single Word document, respond to 3 questions from the list of 10. The questions are equally weighted.
Produce approximately 500 words for each response. Thus you will produce approximately 1500 words in total.
You can cite sources to enhance your response. For citations, use the form: (Author date, page). Do not include a reference list.
Ensure that the question you are responding to is included above each response. This does not contribute to the word count.
