Hey! Welcome to the forums!
It's good to see someone else doing society and culture. I'd definitely encourage you to check out our resources for it here and to ask all society and culture related questions here
Have you thought of a pip topic yet?
Love thissssss!!
Thank you for the warm welcome!
I absolutely love society and culture, I didn't expect to but its definitely one of my favorite subject and the only class I don't dread going to. I have started brainstorming for my PIP, I have way too many ideas and I haven't picked on yet. I will be going to 'PIP Day' in a couple of days so by then I expect to have a solid idea.
A few of the ones i did have are ;
- American Imperialism in the Middle East (or Western Imperialism in Pakistan)
- Nuclear bomb testing still happening in rural areas (and maybe how has nagasaki/hiroshima effected that)
- The real victims of 9/11 (increase of prejudice and who ultimately paid the price)
- Terrorism in Western vs Eastern countries (double standards/news outlets)
- Ethnic Cleansing (myanmar/bosnia)
- Representation of Pakistanis in western media (how they must adapt when living in western areas)
- Its assimilation if the east come to the west, yet oppression if the west live in the east.
- How has humor evolved (is it too pc? what role did social media play?does it need t be offensive to be funny)
- Interest of adolescents then vs now
- portrayal of women in modern adventure/ action films (marvel maybe)
- How media drives people into intense opinions
-Depiction of superheroes/ why they are still so relevant/important
- To what extent do TV shows portray real life and how can it affect others?
- The relationships between generations and the inevitable 'my generation was way better'
- Sexualisation of music videos vs before
- The different standards to which people of a particular race are held
- Why has you tube taken over TV as form of entertainment? How impressionable has you tubers become?
- The perpetuating notion of the 'Modern Muslim'
The list is super long (sorry!) and these are only some of the ones I've had. Any advise on how or which one I should choose? (sorry again for the long list!)
