Recommended: How does star wars affect our culture

I went to see the new Star Wars for my Humanities cultural event. It was awesome! I completely loved it! Star Wars is a cultural event because of how popular it is and how it's such a big part of our society. I loved the movie Star Wars VII! I went on January 1st, with my dad, my two sisters, and my best friend. We went to the Megaplex theater at Thanksgiving Point. It was really amazing! Even though it wasn't 3D, it was still cool.

    In the fiction world heroes have been one of the most entertaining figures. It has always been fun and interesting to read about heroic stories and about different obstacles that heroes had overcome. When someone mentions the word "hero" it is more likely to think of characters like Batman or James Bond, but it is for sure that if we had the chance to ask the same question centuries before, the answer would have been different.

The plot of the story sucks you into the novel and makes you want to continue reading the novel.

    It has a huge impact on popular culture that people feel obligated to go see the films. Star Wars movies are shown and promoted nearly worldwide. In addition, Star Wars is one of the first films to have the most successful merchandise franchise. “These movies began building buzz long before they opened and commanded coverage in magazines and the emerging genre of infotainment television” (Bordwell and Thompson 683), basically Star Wars is a mega picture. It is everywhere and all over people’s faces, for example Episode VII has been promoted in the past year all over the world. The movie tickets in many theaters have sold out because people feel obligated to see it. On the other hand, films in the 1890’s did not have the type of promotion Star Wars has received, but a lot of people went to see the short silent films. Due to a few reasons: for entertainment, escape reality, popular culture, and going out to the movie theater to watch a film was a social norm at the time.

    There is a strong debate in our society about immigration: whether it helps our economy or hurts it. Immigration laws should not be as strictly enforced as they’re trying to make them be. Immigrants are a working part of society, and they’re taxpayers just like me and you. Although many immigrants have little knowledge and have poverty level incomes, they are hard workers who truly do help the economy, and if people want to point fingers and blame someone they should point fingers at the big companies.
