CHOOSE TWO OF THE QUESTIONS questions to answer. Your essay answers must begin with an introductory paragraph that includes a thesis statement. Then select two or three supporting arguments and develop them in some detail. It is unlikely that you will be able to address all of the possible issues in this brief essay, so be sure to select your supporting points carefully and bring them together in the form of a modest conclusion. You should reference the relationship between everyday culture and the idea of community. Referencing The Truman Show (movie) is highly recommended!

CHOOSE 2:
Are cultures of everyday life worthy of study?
Are traditional gender roles still reflected in the home?
Are centralization and bureaucratization still central characteristics of the social organization of the modern workplace?
Has our understanding of what constitutes community changed over time?
How is everyday culture a site of contestation?
