Cultural Politics

The way the website is a little dull. I think that if the website was more appealing due to the fact they are providing information about cultural differences. The information on the other hand is very useful, I would use this as a resource if I ever needed to. It goes along with some of the things we went over in class like television, movies, and other types of media. Overall, If I could give any advice to the creator(s) I would simply say "Add more detail in appeal". Other than the dullness, this is a very useful website.

Never Judge a Site By it's Home Page

The Cultural Politics website does not exactly “POP”. When I first went to explore the site I was anticipating exactly what I associate with pop culture; paintings, famous actors/actresses, comics. The home page of Cultural Politics was more like what I would expect when going to read a computer manual. After looking at the large amount of subject matter covered on the site I was immediately impressed. Each link on the toolbar leads the user to more and more information. Easily a reader could sit and discover information for hours with the massive amount links given. I am already impressed with the many genres of film that I discovered, many of which I never knew existed. In looking at the website I also saw that fashion is considered pop culture. Prior to viewing the site I had no idea! I am very excited about this. I think overall the website is useful for GWST3030. It is user friendly and is jammed packed with resources that would take the average internet user weeks to discover searching the internet on their own. Like other users I am apprehensive how often the website is updated with current data. In combination with current trending articles I believe that the Cultural Politics website will be very useful for us this semester.

I thoroughly enjoyed this site. It was neat to see all of the different topics available to read about and to educate oneself on different topics. I am sure that I will find this website extremely useful when it comes to this class and relating to different issues rather quickly. A lot easier to find topics rather than shifting through tons of google websites and suggestions.  The over all eye appeal is not the best I have seen in a website design, but the easy navigation is a plus for this website.

Like most of my classmates, I also agree that the website isn't the most appealing, but there is a lot of useful tools! I do like that everything is straight to the point and easy to navigate. I would encourage my peers to visit the site because it offers a variety of topics and interests. The site seems useful as far as getting information or discovering other site that you may not know about. My overall impression of the site is that it is great! I'm not exactly sure how often things are updated, but I would like to see more sites added that weren't listed.

Cultural Politics Website

The cultural politics website is managed by T.V. Reed in order to inform viewers about popular culture, digital cultures, social movements, environmental justice, and/or cultural theory. Reed purposely intended for the site to be simple instead of exuding extravagant graphics and glitz. The goal of this site is to take a positive step toward social justice and cultural politics. I believe this site will be beneficial to our research. It provides relevant material that is happening in today’s world. In addition, there are plenty of topics to grab the interest of different audiences. I would definitely use this site as a resource to further my research and studies. Considering that was my first time exploring the site, I was pleased with it overload of resources. Even though I personally enjoy the glamorous side of websites, I will continue to use this particular website. I respect the creator’s preference of simplicity and find it a good thing because it will probably lessen my chances of getting distracted.

I liked the overall design of culturalpolitics.net. I really like how each form of popular culture has a wealth of other sites and articles one can read. This would be an immense help when conducting any research into one of the topics. I thumbed through some of the forms and read several fascinating articles. The gender issue section is what really caught my interest, especially playing off a conversation some friends and I has this weekend on feminism. I think this site could have an intriguing presence in our class.

Although rather boring to look at, culturalpolitics.net appears to be a useful website for our class. The vast amount of info within the site is well organized making it reasonably easy to navigate. I agree with Robert, it’s probably not a popular website. I don’t really care about the lack of graphics as long as I gain the necessary material I need.
