Annotated Bibliography Conklin, Michael. “ Why Judges should refrain from Pop Culture references in Judicial Opinion.” vol. 46, no. 1, pp. 139-63.

The author, Michael Conklin, explains in detail why judges should refrain from Pop Culture references in judicial opinion. The biggest argument is that Pop Culture references will make no sense in the future. Judicial statements will be unreadable in the future if it is full of references that no one understands. Another point that the author brings up is that being in the judicial system is a professional business. In a professional business it would be very inappropriate to make Pop Culture references, especially when peoples lives are at stake. The curt system needs to be taken more seriously and Michael Conklin highlights that perfectly in his essay. It would be a shame for documents from important cases like Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy to be thrown out because the judge was making pop culture references. As long as we keep things professional in the courthouse then everything should be fine. Many Judges are already cracking down on this problem. Lawyers and attorneys are also pitching in. Soon the Senate will create rules and laws to regulate it. Pop Culture is very impactful on our society.

D'Souza, Dinesh. "American Pop Cultural Exports Are Tarnishing the Nation's Image." American Values, edited by David M. Haugen, Greenhaven Press, 2009. Academic Search Ultimate, link.gale.com/apps/doc/EJ3010110280/OVIC? u=dixiesta&sid=bookmark-OVIC&xid=2e6eb787. 16, March 2023 Dinesh D'Souza's article "American Pop Cultural Exports Are Tarnishing the Nation's Image" argues that American pop culture exports such as movies, music, and TV shows have a negative impact on America's image abroad. D'Souza contends that these exports propagate negative stereotypes of Americans and promote a hedonistic and materialistic lifestyle that is at odds with traditional American values. He argues that American pop culture is undermining the country's moral authority and contributing to anti-American sentiment around the world. D'Souza also suggests that the spread of American pop culture is part of a broader cultural and economic imperialism that is eroding the sovereignty of other nations.

Gibson argues that these forms of media play a crucial role in shaping our perceptions of what is possible and desirable in the realm of human enhancement. She traces the evolution of depictions of cyborgs and other enhanced humans in popular culture and examines how these depictions reflect cultural anxieties and aspirations. Gibson suggests that the popularity of these depictions reflects a broader cultural fascination with the idea of transcending human limitations and achieving a new level of power and control over the world. However, she also notes that these depictions often simplify the complex ethical and social issues that arise from the development and use of cybernetic technology, and that we must be careful not to let our fascination with these ideas blind us to their potential risks and downsides.
