Read Chapters 1, 8,9 in UT pages 10-35 and 182-233 In this paper, you will consider how your ideas about the world were formed. Think back to your formative years: your childhood, middle school, high school, or early adulthood.
What TV shows do you remember shaping your expectations about the world?
What shows taught you what “the good life” looked like for an adult? What did they teach you to expect? Select three or four TV shows (in contrast to movies) and briefly reflect on how they, consciously or unconsciously, affected the way that you approach the world. For example, the show Friends may have instilled the expectation that life as an adult was about being able to spend time with your friends all day and afford big apartments. This expectation was clearly wrong, but we can point to where such an idea developed.
What types of expectations like these do you have molded into you? Your paper should be two to three-pages (not including the title and references pages) and be formatted according to APA standard guidelines. An introduction paragraph (with a thesis statement) and a conclusion paragraph should be included. At least four Bible verses should be directly quoted in the paper and not merely cited.
