Culture Magazines

There are a variety of magazines and other media outlets that focus on youth culture and identity issues. Many have a slick contemporary presentation on the Internet such as Fan The Fire @ http://fanthefiremagazine.com/magazine/. Perhaps the most widely read magazine focusing on contemporary youth culture from a Christian perspective is Relevant @ http://www.relevantmagazine.com/digital-issue/53 After previewing these 2 sites, compare and contrast them and give me your thoughts on the good and bad. What would you include or exclude? Give your own links to your favorite culture sites!

Are you typical???

While everyone is unique in her/his own way, there are still characteristics that are typical to the human race. Watch the video courtesy of March 2011 Issue National Geographic Magazine and give me your comments. Link here

The Red Market

 Is the human body sacred? Or is it a commodity ready to be chopped up and exposed to the forces of supply and demand? 
These are important contemporary issue questions and the opening lines to this article @ http://www.wired.com/magazine/2011/01/ff_redmarkets/
Read the article and find out what the “red market” is all about. Make sure you look at all four pages of the article. How should you as a Christian address this issue….should we start some active protests or should we just ignore it and pretend it doesn’t exist…or perhaps something in the middle…give me your thoughts in 50 or more words!
