Popular Culture and the War on Traditional Values, by Michael Medved. An annoted bibliography is available of other books linked to issues in this class. This is a class built on lively participation, especially in class sessions. When in doubt, dive in. Come up with new ideas.
Attendance is critical.
As for written work, I'm looking for clarity, not a particular writing style. We want to produce ideas and materials for the church. Take my word for it. After lunch, we will have an hour of question and answer time, followed by time for research, as individuals or as a group. Also, we will watch at least one complete film together during an afternoon session.
