THIRD BLOG, due Tue, June 7, 2011
Dear Soc. 199 Scholars,
In 300 words or more, using paragraph form (so, 2-3 paragraphs), please identify what you think are the strongest and weakest points of Gans' arguments about high culture and popular culture, defending your choices with examples from several parts of the reading (from pages 60-156). Also mention an interesting tangential point (minor point of information) that you remember from the reading.
