Based on reading # 4 “What’s Dumbing Down America: Media Zombies or Educational Disparities?” in Connecting Social Problems and Popular Culture

I’m stuck on a Computer Science question and need an explanation.

Based on reading # 4 “What’s Dumbing Down America: Media Zombies or Educational Disparities?” in Connecting Social Problems and Popular Culture, does popular culture interfere with education? Did pop culture change how people interact (and exchange information)? Please explain with examples. And. please include the symbolic interactionist perspective in your discussion.

Required: Please make sure to include, at least, one direct quote WITH PAGE NUMBER/S. And, please don’t re-post the quote/s posted before by one of your classmates.

***An Optional but highly recommended reading– Please feel free to include Chapter 9 in your discussion: Are students Getting Dumber as Their Phones Get Smarter? E-Learning, Edutainment, and the Future of Knowledge Sharing in Digitized Lives Culture, Power and Social Change in the Internet Era
