Professor Accountable, the film school graduate film professor who thinks antithetically that films suck, offers the following exercise:
1. How do these characters contribute to World Culture? To European-American culture?
2. The character's shows and movies listed represent very many billions of dollars generated for the economy. The fortunes of some of our most important companies and their stockholders are based upon the performance of these characters in the public consciousness. What is the effect on the economy of the members of this list? What is the ongoing effect on the economy, into the future, of the members of this list and future additions to it, including new material and reruns?
3. To continue with the broad scope of Question 2, the characters on this list represent various lifestyle methods and generalized attitudes. What is the effect on society in terms of political and law enforcement trends, of the action of these people on the list?
4. Hollywood and the entertainment industry is overwhelmingly liberally politic. Do the people on this list work
for or
against the liberals and Democrats in US elections? Are platform ideals fortified or obviated by the work of the entertainment industry? Please consider the overwhelming success of Richard Nixon in the 1968 US presidential election as an example of a political trend that was seemingly "contra" to the apparent prevailing social and culutral trend. In terms of the US 2008 elections, consider the work of Paris Hilton. Could a lifestyle figurehead of the American left affect the results in November? What would be that effect?
