What Aspects in our Society Determine What is Highly Valued?

What aspects in our society determine what is highly valued?

-My personal investment with this topic is that I am personally exposed to what society thinks is most important; we see in magazines, billboards and commercials every single day what society determines “important”. An example of what society finds important is the Kardashians, you are considered an outsider if you don’t focus or are completely up to date on topics like these.

Another example of how I am personally invested in this topic is that sometimes you see news of something “huge” happening like a marriage, a divorce or a scandal of who cheated on who. Personally, I don’t find any of these stories useful to society I find it gossip and unintelligent. I would rather be surrounded by topics that matter, like stock or what is affecting our economy and how our soldiers are doing overseas. Topics that actually affect families and the value of our lives is what I believe society should be truly focuses on not which celebrity went to rehab this week.

Some follow up questions would be:

-Does social media have an impact on what society consider important

-If you do not agree with what’s “important” in society are you seen different or wrong compared to others?

-Which class of people decide what people or what topic is important or worthy in society?

The purpose of the research project would be:

-The purpose of this research project is to have a better understanding on whether a topic is important for the right reasons

What platform could you imagine writing this paper for?

-In a satirical article

Who could your audience be?

-My peers, teachers, friends and general public

What kind of sources might you use?

-I would use sources from major social media, including Facebook, twitter and YouTube as well as major television news stations and newspaper along with magazines. I would compare all of them by what they consider important and relevant
