Topic for my paper

I need to submit a proposal tonight for my class entitled
"Media, Society, and the Arts."

We've studied everything from renaissance painting, to
magazine advertising, to pornography on the net. I probably
want to do something technology related. Basically
something having to do with art's role in society (could be
gender/race/class issues), but I probably want to discuss it
on digital terms.

Anyone have any serious ideas?

Does charging a fee for access to art forms on the internet
limit it's scope, availablity or appeal to people.

Does the modern media accurately reflect society or actively
steer society when it comes to appreciation of art?

Could monkey's be any more funny??? I doubt it, but
discuss...

you could probably talk about cyberculture & it's affect on
society. maybe compare it to ten years ago when the internet
was still in it's early phase as a public service?

Probably more how technology has influenced art's role in
society.

I would like to talk about cyberculture I just want to write
something that's not b.s. I want to talk about
e-communities and stuff but I don't think moderating a
message board gives me much authority on that topic. I need
to find a site with some good resources maybe...

there is a book called reinventing comics by scott mcloud
that actually has alot to do with your topic, although it
may be a little broad.

i mean, people probably have written dissertations just
barely scraping what you're asking. you need to narrow it
down and if you have time go to your library and do some
research. Professors always like sources.

its due in three weeks or so. It's not that serious, 4-7
pages double spaced. I just waited until the very last
minute to make my proposal...
I know i need to narrow it down that's what i'm trying to
figure out.

zaphod i'll check that out now

one idea...with the advent of the internet society's
exposure to different mediums of expression have increased
ad infinitum, therefore discuss how this exposure has
affected society (i.e. in your opinion negatively or
positively). of course your opinion should have some weight
to it. look for journal articles pertaining to these ideas
and based on what you find defend your argument.

The relatively "new" anti-globalization protests and how the
Internet has facilitated their coordination.
