Using Eric Liu and E.D Hirsch as references in “what every American should know.” and “cultural literacy”, examine Liu’s thesis, that 21st century America- by dint of its diversity and the appropriate of digital realms for cultural commentary – will disavow one man who defines ‘cultural literacy’, then we must work as Omni-Americans to collectively define the boundaries of cultural literacy. By using Hirsch as a foundation examine the means to update his list and what it would look like if revised today. Understand the implications Liu makes in his article while referencing Hirsch’s work. Apply Liu’s conceptual framework for an updated list, and using Hirsch’s list as a starting point, how do you go about facilitating that list? What does it now include? and Why have you included those items?
