Weekly written analysis 1

For this week’s popular culture issue that is making the news and catching my interest is no other than Michael Jackson’s death. I’m sure everyone is either sick of this issue or they can’t get enough of it. I found myself heavily interested in it in the beginning but, now I think I am finally paying attention to other things. The topic of his death brings on an assortment of conversations like his great music to his bizarre personal life. I have tried to avoid conversations about his personal life and have tried to focus the majority of the conversations on his monumental accomplishments. It’s been over ten days since Michael’s passing and it is still one of the biggest popular culture things going on. I am 27 years old and I cannot recall one person that has gained this much attention for such a long period of time. This should make each and every one of us appreciate what this man has accomplished is his life. In closing, for those of you who have celebrated his death and focused on his positive parts of life, thank you! For those of you who have focused on the negative parts of this life, dig deep down and try to be positive about this tragic death of a popular culture icon.
