To Catch A Predditor: Reddit, Gawker, and the Challenge of Online Privacy

Last updated on: October 17, 2012 at 12:36 pm By Jason Morehead

Reddit describes itself as “the front page of the internet”, a statement that seems to be growing truer all the time. The site has become increasingly popular — it’s estimated that the site receives as many as 30 million unique visitors a month — and it has garnered an immense amount of cultural capital. On August 29, 2012, President Obama went on Reddit and did a live Q&A (or “AMA”, for “Ask Me Anything” session in Reddit-speak) that had more... Read more

Was America Ever a Christian Nation?

Last updated on: October 16, 2012 at 11:32 am By Drew Dixon

Nearly every day, I see some post on Facebook or Twitter mourning how far America has fallen from its Christian founding. I understand where many of these people are coming from, they sense that Christian principles are not as respected as they once were in our country. This is something that we have weighed in on numerous times in recent days here at Christ and Pop Culture. Alan has refuted the idea that is pretty prevalent in American evangelicalism that...

The Cure for Workplace Blues

Last updated on: October 16, 2012 at 9:12 am By Erin Straza

Back when I was in college, I remember dreaming of what my first job would be after graduation. I didn’t know what I would do, exactly, but I assumed whatever job I found would be challenging and fulfilling. There I would be, working for some company’s marketing department, the creative communications pouring out faster than I can write them down. My first job was for a great company and I got to work with great people. I did get to... Read more

The Feedback Loop: Is “Gangnam Style” What America Needs?

Last updated on: October 16, 2012 at 8:39 am By Luke Larsen

It took me multiple social interactions with the song in order to become convinced that I should probably take a good hard listen to “Gangnam Style” by Korean pop star Psy. First, my mom texted me, asking if I had heard of this “Korean pop video that’s becoming popular on YouTube.” Of course”, I responded in the negative, not thinking much of it considering how many times my mother had asked me that very question about other videos. Then, a... Read more

The Kiddy Pool: Diapers, for the Glory of God

Last updated on: October 16, 2012 at 8:21 am By Erin Wyble Newcomb

I got pregnant with my first daughter almost 4 years ago now; I subsequently carried her to term, nursed her for 23 months, and, in the same week that I celebrated weaning her, found out I was pregnant again. The cycle began again (or rather continued) with another pregnancy, the birth of another baby girl, and here I am, almost 5 months in to nursing and going strong. Sometimes I wonder when I’ll get my body back to myself, and... Read more

Cosmic Horror vs. Holy Terror: Christians Can Find Value and Meaning in Scary Movies

I would suspect that the "horror" genre is one of the most unpopular genres -- literary, cinematic, or otherwise -- for Christians, and understandably so. Read more

What Motivates Suicide Bombers? It might not be what you think.

Last updated on: May 16, 2013 at 8:56 am By Alan Noble

What motivates someone to become a suicide bomber? Irrational religious fanaticism? Sometimes. A desire to see a global caliphate combined with animosity towards a western society which has colonized and abused Muslim lands? Sure. But sometimes they are motived by a quite rational and honorable desire to protect their mothers and sisters from rape and abuse by white men. In this article at Foreign Policy, Hussain Nadim, “a faculty member at the Department of Government and Public Policy at National University of Science... Read more

Teach Your Children Well: Reflecting on Madeline Levine’s Book and Galatians 5

Last updated on: October 14, 2012 at 7:16 pm By Erin Wyble Newcomb

Last week, MSNBC’s “The Cycle” interviewed Dr. Madeline Levine, psychologist and author of Teach Your Children Well, whose best-selling text calls into question the dominant ideologies of today’s parenting ideals. Levine remarks “What’s overparenting? It’s doing what your kid can already do and can technically do” and confusing the parents’ needs with the children’s. The challenge with letting children exercise their abilities and near-abilities is essentially one of parental peer pressure. My 3-year-old, for instance, can put on her own shoes.... Read more
