Week 2 Monday

Today I thought about what is culture. The idea of breaking up culture into groups of producers, texts, and consumers was helpful. I also found the study of Industrialization in the UK and the Manchester situation to be fascinating. It's a tragic example of how the church dropped the ball and was unable to relate to the working class. It made more sense later in the lecture in understanding that we were using England as a backdrop because industrialization and pop culture happened there first.
