American History!!!
Popular culture helps promote nationalistic views of The United States History. The American Revolution was a devestating event that refers to the period during the last half of the 18th century . The United States of America gained independence from the British Empire. Popular culture promotes the American Revolution as a time period Americans should be proud of because we gained our independence but its not that sweet and dandy. It’s almost as if America is using media to reflect on our past for example "The school of Rock". The American Revolution was no where near enjoyable, as the struggle between the colonists and the British was evidently painful and sickening .People have been using media to spread the word about good and bad . weather we like it or not we promote nationalistic views of the Revolution, and more to children, toddlers and adults. This reminds me of propaganda because people tend to use media to spread the word about everything and tend to hide the bad things that go on in the world. It's interesting to me how when we were younger we were lied to about our history. Teachers made it seem like the world was so perfect and if there were wars it wasn't a big deal. Well today I think that should end because lying to kids about OUR history doesn't make anything better.
