WRA 150 Project #2 Reflection

In My WRA 150 class, we were asked to pick a popular cultural artifact and discuss a theme or topic surrounding it. For me personally, I choose to talk about Jordan sneakers, more specifically, newly released Jordan sneakers. Jordan sneakers have become very popular and when they are newly released they create chaos because there are so few released. This topic was easy for me to talk about being that I experience this madness year after year, which ultimately builds my credibility. I’ve been wearing Jordan sneakers for a long time and I’m around people who love Jordan sneakers on a daily basis. For me, Jordan were a fun and easy topic to discuss because they’re such a huge factor in my life. While writing this essay, I had few troubles, but I did have some. The hardest part for me was using a database and citing sources from a database, because it’s not something that I’m very familiar with.  Other than these small troubles, I had a great time proving that Jordan sneakers are a popular cultural artifact and that the issues surrounding them occur because the producers don’t produce enough and are unorganized on release day.
