Subject: Popularity Discussion Author: LaFrance Hunt [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:47:07 01/20/08 Sun I definitely found class to be entertaining and enjoyable. I found the discussion on popularity to be especially interesting. During class, I could not think of who the two most popular people were. At my high school, I can’t really say that there was any one person who was the most popular but maybe a few popular people. Due to some segregation at times(by classmates), popularity was divided by race. The blacks who were popular were those who had expensive material possessions (i.e. the nicest car, clothes, house, shoes, etc…). Also for black females you were popular if you were neat, outgoing, and had nice hair and body. For black males you were popular if you were an athlete. For white females, those who were popular had well developed bodies, considered pretty by others, thin, and either on the cheerleading squad or dance squad. For males, the most popular people were the athletes. All in all, it is interesting to note that each culture has different values and ideals that shape the way they view things, things as simple as popularity.
