 Hey everyone, I'm Lance Eaton. I am your instructor for popular culture in the US Online here at North Shore Community College, and I just want to say I'm really excited to teach this course I've been teaching it now for about six years and maybe about four years online And every time I teach it. It's just a blast to teach we get them such fascinating Topics and we have such amazing conversations Whether it be in the discussions online. I'm sorry on the blog or even in your papers You guys you know you come to the course and you bring many different insights So I've learned a whole lot which is part of the fun of teaching it But I also get to see many of you grow and come to look at pop culture in more critical ways than you might have thought of before In really interesting ways that you know you're no longer walking down the street and in missing certain things But you're looking at them in whole new light So I really like I really enjoyed that part of the course and I really look forward to another semester Working with you guys to kind of look at what does popular culture mean in today's society and how do we understand that? How do we understand the history? how do we understand different ways of looking at things and Delving deeper into into popular culture rather than a lot of the superficial Conversations that we hear whether it be online or on the news or things like that So as I said, I'm very excited. I look forward to meeting all of you online and having some more great conversations So see you soon
