Berger, Arthur ASA. "Media Tribes: Making Sense of Popular Culture, The Mass
Media, And Everyday Life In America." ETC: A Review of General Semantics 70.3 (2013): 339347. Academic Search Complete. Web. 18 Feb. 2016.
This source from Arthur Berger is very supportive of my single source drafts. The source
is about how popular culture has always had an effect on our society in America but it has
only recently become such a big deal. Berger discusses the ways that he has observed
popular culture conforming and how noticeable it is to everyone else. He also talks about
strategies to use in classes to take steps towards students understanding all the different
ways popular culture takes place in their lives.
The text is well composed by Berger because he starts with a conflict and in return gives
many examples to go towards a solution. He uses many relevant and relatable examples
to support his argument. He put things in many different perspectives so he can reach out
to all audiences. There are many other sources that Berger uses to support his claim
towards Popular Culture. The argument is very strong and very likely to be used in many
other references.
I would like to use this source to support my main argument because it is so relevant to
movies but also broadens the subject to all other impacts in society. It ties everything
together and isnt complicated. Berger is straight to the point about his statements and has
very valid reasoning. I will be able to pull many different quotes from this source and pull
different reasoning from each one to support my overall argument.

Quinlan, Sean M. "Shots to The Mind: Violence, The Brain and Biomedicine In Popular Novels
And Film In Post-1960S America." European Journal of American Culture 32.3 (2013): 215234. Academic Search Complete. Web. 18 Feb. 2016.
This Source from Sean Quinlan is about how in movies, characters being shot in the head
has progressively gotten worse and more gruesome. It discusses how films have become
more and more disturbing in detail. Quinlan goes into detail about specific historical
events and how they related to the tragic headshot. He states that this frenzy over the
headshot has only been so big after 1960. The time period is important because the
children back then are now the adults teaching their children about the movies and
society they saw.
Popular Culture has brought in new things every century and even every new year. Some
of the new things brought into American Popular Culture is more gore and blood. It is
very prominent through movies. There are many audiences reached through each single
story. Quinlan reaches out to the audience by tracing the events that have happened
through history. Quinlan can relate to everyone through those events because they're part
of American history
I can use this source in my research paper because it has very true arguments. They
appeal to my bias. You cant deny the facts of history and the events that took place like
JFKs assassination. I can relate this source in my argument of how the Popular Culture
in movies now and then are becoming more and more disturbing and bloody.

Jensen, Kenneth D. M. "Through A Screen Darkly: Popular Culture, Public Diplomacy, And
America's Image Abroad." Naval War College Review 68.3 (2015): 161-163. Academic Search
Complete. Web. 18 Feb. 2016.
This excerpt by Kenneth Jensen is a great analysis of a book about the Popular Culture
through stereotypical American ideologies seen by others. The article discusses how
Americans have to explain how they are different than what is portrayed through the
movies seen by everyone else. Jensen discusses how the influence of the Popular Culture
effects the way that our society expects certain people to act.
Jensen uses a great source to analyze and really hits every point needed to make his
argument. Jensen uses examples of specific TV shows that are common stereotypes that
Americans face due to the Popular Culture beliefs. Jensen also talks about the identity
that comes with the new Popular Culture beliefs. He argues that the identities that the
media and movies portray for all Americans are not always realistic.
I could use this source for my research paper as support because it broadens my subject
from films to TV shows and even radio stations. I can use this to argue that Americans
struggle with identity the most due to the Popular Culture ideologies formed through
these TV shows and movies. I like this source because it is becoming more relevant today
but more through music rather than movies. I could use that as support for my argument
as well.

Buhs, Joshua BLU. "Camping with Bigfoot: Sasquatch And The Varieties Of Middle- Class
Resistance To Consumer Culture In Late Twentieth-Century North America." Journal of Popular
Culture 46.1 (2013): 38-58. Academic Search Complete. Web. 18 Feb. 2016.

Joshua Buhs also discusses how films brought up a sense of identity through popular
culture. The popular culture began to become what made different classes equal. In Buhs
response, he acknowledges that the middle-class people in the late 20th century had a
mindset of not falling into the new thing, consumerism. Buhs response is mainly about
how through time, the movies created around the Bigfoot idea had many responses. Buhs
comments a lot on how the responses depended on the class of the consumers.
Buhs response is very well written and pulls the audience in right away because of the
well known topic of Bigfoot. This response has a lot of references to movies made after
the first play introducing Bigfoot and how the audience was effected. The relationship
mentioned in this response towards Popular Culture had to do with how the different
audiences reacted to the stories and how it eventually effects society.
I can use this source for my research paper because it has good support for the upcoming
of the more intense stories involving Popular Culture in American films. I think there is a
good argument to this one and very similar to my single source analysis. There are many
good examples of responses to new ideas in Popular Culture in this source and easy to
relate to. I could definitely elaborate on how these responses enforce a newer Popular
Culture to begin and how its all a big circle.
This source is scholarly because it was found through the University of Louisvilles
library site with a limitation that pulled only peer-reviewed references.
Schneider-Mayerson, Matthew. "Disaster Movies And The 'Peak Oil' Movement: Does Popular
Culture Encourage Eco-Apocalyptic Beliefs In The United States?." Journal For The Study Of
Religion, Nature & Culture 7.3 (2013): 289-314. Academic Search Complete. Web. 18 Feb.
2016.

Schneider-Mayersons source includes the topic of the different genres of film that
Popular Culture effects. He talks about how one of the recent events that popped up in
America was the Peak Oil movement. Schneider-Mayerson connects the peak oil event
to the way people in America react to apocalyptic events in movies or TV shows.
This article is not directly all about the impact from Popular Culture in movies but mainly
about the consequences it has on every aspect in society. Schneider-Mayerson appeals to
his audience by making more recent recollections of memories and subtle jokes about the
apocalyptic ideology. The article is put together well by all of the topics leading from one
to the other smoothly.
I would like to use this source as support for my research paper because it has some good
references to the apocalyptic idea which my single source was about. I think this source
took in the non-church related constructs of the apocalyptic idea and made another part to
quote and use as support.
This source is not scholarly but has strong support for my argument in my research. It
was also found on a Universitys library website so it has some credibility there.

Maggi, Armando. "Christian Demonology In Contemporary American Popular Culture." Social


Research 81.4 (2014): 769-793. Academic Search Complete. Web. 22 Feb. 2016.
This source by Armando Maggi is very supportive of my argument for my research paper.
The paper discusses how the genre of films has been affected by the popular culture. He
discusses how the demonic story line has become a big interest for the viewers. Maggi
also discusses how there is a religious tie to the new genre of films made for the new
audiences.

Maggi supports his own argument with strong examples. He supports his argument that
some historical events had a big impact on the popular culture beliefs. Maggi references
to 9/11 which is a more memorable time and impact on most of the new audiences going
to watch new films. Maggi supports his argument also by using many sources and citing
them within his commentary. There are many valuable references in this article that
would be useful in my argument for the research paper.
I could use this source to support my very first argument. It is perfectly related to the
topic Im discussing and has very similar features. This source also would bring in a new
perspective on the same topic that I am discussing already. This source is not listed under
peer-reviewed but is very reliable. The source was also of off a Universitys website and
was near the top of the list.

Hill, Matthew B. "Revising (The) Resistance: American Guerrillas In Popular Film And
Television." Journal of Popular Culture 46.6 (2013): 1289-1309. Academic Search Complete.
Web. 22 Feb. 2016.
This source discusses insurgency, myth and American History through events and films in
America. Hill reaches all sides of views towards resistance to fighting in many situations.
Hill says that we Americanize these images of resistance fighters which becomes the
popular culture. This source is very relatable to popular culture today and how our view
as a country towards specific ideas is inflicted on by society.
Hill uses many different pieces of evidence in his article for each of the topics he
discusses. Hill also has a strong organization pattern of introducing the topic, supporting

it and then relating it to his other examples. Hill also refers to a lot of movies and
explains how they are relevant.
I think this is a good supportive source because it discusses directly what Hill states in the
introduction and more. The references used in this source are not as recent but are part of
American History. This will be a good background for examples of how American Pop
Culture has changed recently. This source is not scholarly either but it is an excerpt
from \a published journal and was found on the University of Louisvilles library
website. This gives it some credibility by having the opportunity to be read by the
thousands of students at this school.
