These can be centered around any number of phenomena, such as ethnicity, geography, education, popular media, broadcast or online content, sports, national holidays, government legislation, music, political elections, public health crises, etc. This is an exercise in writing from a cultural studies perspective, so choose an aspect of a culture that you can justify as a phenomenon that is socially significant.
