Many colleges now offer courses in which students study television programs, comic books, magazines, advertising, and other aspects of popular culture. Critics complain that schools should not replace serious literature and history courses with such fluff. They claim that courses in popular culture present material that is trival and inconsequential. But the study of popular culture can be just as important, demanding, and instructive as the study of traditional subjects.

Assignment:

Can the study of popular culture be as valuable as the study of traditional literary and historical subjects?
YES.

The study of either popular culture or traditional literary and historical subjects are all valuable depending on the way you look at it. Though, some may seem unvaluable at the moment, we should look at the positive side of judgment. Personally, I believe, although it is important to know what our ancestors went though and how we came to be, it is more important to focus on what will help us evolve in the future. So, that being, popular culture should be as valuable as the study of traditional literary and historical subjects.

Popular culture, is popular for a reason, right? Whether it's fun, or easy, if people like it, then we shouldn't be the ones to keep it from them. If we gave it a chance and stopped being so closed minded all the time, maybe we would see some improvement. Just because it doesn't seem as serious and other subjects does not mean it is not as important.

As the world keeps spinning, life keeps on going and with that brings new people with new ideas to make subjects that will benefit us for the future instead of filling out heads with out-dated knowledge or about the past that doesn't really matter in the current evolution of the continuing human population. The popular culture is just like the old culture, just modern. We should give it a chance and if we see change, then we should keep it that way. Popular culture is important to listen to as we belive it is important to listen to historical culture.

In conclusion, it's all based on whether it'll work or not. I say, for the benefit of change, we should give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can continue valuing what we value today and keep the same routine going.
