Have ​ ​a ​ ​look ​ ​around ​ ​you: ​ ​What ​ ​types ​ ​of ​ ​films ​ ​are ​ ​popular? ​ ​What ​ ​music ​ ​is ​ ​popular? ​ ​What
new ​ ​art ​ ​is ​ ​being ​ ​displayed ​ ​and ​ ​written ​ ​about? ​ ​Which ​ ​novels ​ ​and ​ ​non-fiction ​ ​books ​ ​are
selling ​ ​and/or ​ ​winning ​ ​prizes? ​ ​What ​ ​attitudes ​ ​do ​ ​you ​ ​see ​ ​expressed ​ ​in ​ ​the ​ ​media? ​ ​What
attitudes ​ ​do ​ ​you ​ ​see ​ ​expressed ​ ​in ​ ​the ​ ​people ​ ​around ​ ​you? ​ ​What’s ​ ​happening ​ ​in ​ ​current
events ​ ​(historical ​ ​events, ​ ​politics, ​ ​activism, ​ ​etc)?
Post ​ ​3 ​ ​characteristics ​ ​of ​ ​post-9/11 ​ ​culture ​ ​a ​nd ​ ​give ​ ​at ​ ​least ​ ​1 ​ ​example ​ ​or ​ ​piece ​ ​of
evidence ​ ​for ​ ​each ​ ​characteristic. ​ ​For ​ ​example, ​ ​I ​ ​might ​ ​say ​ ​that ​ ​”fear” ​ ​is ​ ​a
characteristic ​ ​of ​ ​post-9/11 ​ ​culture. ​ ​An ​ ​example ​ ​would ​ ​be ​ ​that ​ ​a) ​ ​people ​ ​voted ​ ​for ​ ​Donald
Trump’s ​ ​wall ​ ​to ​ ​keep ​ ​immigrants ​ ​out ​ ​of ​ ​the ​ ​U.S.A. ​ ​and ​ ​b) ​ ​the ​ ​fear ​ ​that ​ ​liberals ​ ​are
expressing ​ ​about ​ ​what ​ ​else ​ ​a ​ ​Trump ​ ​administration ​ ​might ​ ​do.
