The modern curriculum in the West has developed in such a way that does not only purposes to improve literacy and morality amongst students, but is also designed to develop students’ understanding of social roles and their place in society. On average in 2004, American children between the ages of 6 and 17 spent four hours a week devoted to homework and 32.5 hours per week in school. Altogether, time spent on academics has increased over 7.5 hours per week compared to 20 years ago (Swanbrow, 2004). As new media proliferates and becomes more accessible to schools and their students, it is both imperative and remarkable to note what implications this may have on what is taught in school, how things are taught in school, and what students learn, which all then work to shape the nature of a shared or fragmented culture.
