What are the details of our daily existence? What systems dominate our lives? What meanings can we make of our situation?

This social studies/humanities course will steal from various disciplines - including anthropology, critical theory, cultural studies, economics, futurology, history, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology - to help us make sense of our situation.

A major goal of the course will be to focus your attention on your own life. Together we will investigate major systems that create and rule our lives including capitalism, school, family, popular culture, and the US government. And we will figure out how to interpret our lives, and these systems, and the collision of our lives and these systems.

We will detour into the future and the past but our journey will be primarily contemporary.

HW 7 - Interviews and Surveys

Please collect the response of multiple people to interestingly imagined questions addressing one or more aspects of the digitalization of our daily experience.

For Wednesday AM please post the response of a family member. For Friday AM please post 2 or more responses of a passerby or stranger. For Tuesday AM please post the thoughts of your best friend who is not participating in Personal/Political.

Please post all these responses as one post (opposite of what I usually request) and just "edit" that post each time to add more.
