Bootleg Culture

One form of intertextuality that you see a lot nowadays is plagiarism. Students alone, at least in high school, do this all the time. They will have a paper or something due and the will just copy and past from the internet and call it their own. In high school you usually just get a slap on the wrist and get told not to do it again, and maybe get an F on it, but the punishment is not too severe and that is why it is seen more often in high school than in college.

What I have learned

I have learned many things about popular culture since the beginning of this class. One major thing I have learned it that literally everything has to do with popular culture. You turn on the tv and what do you see, commercials. These are examples of popular culture. Also new types of music are becoming more popular, like mash ups. Everywhere you look you see something to do with popular culture.

Football High

In the video there were some pretty big issues and bad stories brought up. The won that stuck out the most was about Will James and Tyler Davenport. To think that one of them died from heat stroke is a scary thought. I played football in high school and remember having two a days and how hot it was and how we hardly had any water breaks. This could have easily happened to anyone on our team. Serious precautions need to start to be taken or else more and more kids are going to get hurt.
