Artifact
Mad Men, a show that started in 2007 that is set during the 1960's. The main character is Don Draper, who is the creative director of Sterling Cooper & Partners. When he's not at work, which he's very good at, he's either drinking, smoking, or cheating on his wife. The show is still running and is in it 6th season.

Research Paper 1
The topic for research paper 1 is what the 1960's are actually like. The title will be Mad Men and the 1960's: Accuracy or Entertainment. I will be not only researching advertizement agency's and how they operate, but also how people spent their free time, to see if people really spent their time like Don Draper. I will be using Mad Men as a secondary source, along with other primary and secondary sources to compare.

Research Paper 2
The topic for research paper 2 is entertainment in the 2000's. Using Mad Men as primary source as it was created in the 2000's. Comparing this with other shows and other primary and secondary resources, to see if Mad Men fits a pattern of what is popular as far as entertainment. If it does, then that shows that this show, even though it is set during the 1960's, reflects more on our time period then the actual 1960's.
