Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Culture Constructed?

Did they construct the culture that they envisioned for the youth of America? Or, did the culture they aimed to construct come up a few bricks shy of a load?
As you reflect on Constructing a Culture, keep these questions in mind. Do intentions always lead to desired outcomes? Is presenting a vision for the future enough to ensure that future? Or, do the elements of visual culture provide so much depth, such vibrant and varied experiences, that once they are put out in the world and presented to teens they take on a life of their own?
Thanks for visiting!
