In at least 5 pages, present your research and analysis addressing the role, rightly or wrongly, that culture has on politics. Specifically address the following questions:
“No taxation without representation” was an important rallying cry in the Revolutionary War. So was “No King but King Jesus.” Compare and contrast these cultural phrases with some modern interpretations like “It’s morning again in America,” said by Ronald Reagan; “Yes, we can,” used by Barack Obama; and “Make America Great Again,” a slogan of Donald Trump’s campaign.
The current manifestations of these slogans are the “Tea Party Movement,” the “Religious Right,” and even the progressive/libertarian movement. These are segments of the population, but not specific political parties. Analyze these or other movements in the context of their impact on the political process and public policy.
What role do television and popular culture have in shaping political opinion? For example, analyze All in the Family from the 1970s or West Wing from the 1990s or House of Cards more recently. An ancillary discussion would be to ask what role do movies play in shaping public opinion? For example, All the King’s Men, The Manchurian Candidate, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, or even a movie like Avatar.
