Anthropology of the Big Bang

[Tuesday Pajamas]

Several of Ricardo's posts have prompted us to make a philosophy, culture and history thread, because they wasn't anywhere for these topics to be posted.

Okay so I have no idea where to post this) I suppose you could say that this is also a rite of passage. I also class going to Uni, and a three day festival, as rites of passage. You could also knowing that CL was tuned in, say that he slips in numerous references.

I think if we're going to examine any twenty first century artifact it might as well be TBBT. In gives us an insight into Earth's culture. Those five American media companies also dominate world viewing; we are being entertained, but also sold a life style, and culture(with it's own values). But also the world's impression of America is based on shows, and films. I think what has really shaped our heroes, is the negativity they were exposed to. Jock Vs everyone else, but especially The Nerds, is well known. The idea of the American man as physically, sexually, male is (according to RT programme) based on gangster movies(The Godfather, Scarface), which then became gangsta rap culture, and has spread around the world , as how a man behaves. They saw bullies at school, (and afterwards), as 'gender police', enforcing what it is to be male. This programme had the chance to challenge this stereotyping, I'm not sure if it's done that or reinforced it.
