I always assumed that people like Shakespeare and his works were just as influential during their lives as they are now, but obviously that is not the case. I think about this in comparison to the famous example of how an artist\u2019s paintings are more valuable after their death. I have thought about that in terms of artists throughout history, but never in terms of artists now. For example, when rap\/music artists die, such as Mac Miller, XXXTentacion, and JuiceWorld, their listens\/streams tend to increase significantly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Also, as a major MCU nerd, I was so excited to see Black Panther. When I saw the movie in theaters, it was immediately my favorite Marvel movie, but I had no idea how culturally significant this film would become. As the first film starring a black superhero, it was amazing to see the celebration of black heritage and identity and to see the cultural movement that this film sparked feels like we are making history.\u00a0 Being in this leadership class and being able to analyze pop culture like this is really fascinating. Instead of thinking about T\u2019Challa\u2019s character of just an awesome Marvel hero, we can see him as a cultural icon that inspired a shift in world culture. It is good to see that Chadwick Boseman left such a beautiful legacy. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like how Dr. Bezio defined leadership as coming up with mutual goals through story-telling using narratives of history, and how this ties to popular culture.
