Students for Non-Ignorance
and the Understanding of Hilarity (SNUH) is a brand new student-led
organization at Calvin
College. It aspires to the following mission:
1) To instill a love of The Simpsons
into the hearts of the Calvin community.
2) To not only absorb, but to readily discern the worldview
of the creators of the aforementioned show.
3) To apply what is learned in our meetings to our daily living,
that we might not be of the world but able to live in it.
As The Simpsons is a staple of American
popular culture and has been for over a decade, we wish to evaluate
the message it sends to the American people. And, as television
serves as a cultural ambassador to foreign nations, we will strive
to determine the effects, both positive and adverse, that this
program has on our relationships with people outside of the American
culture.
