Matt GlowackiIn his presentation, Mr. Glowacki will examine how popular television programs often operate on the fringes of societal acceptance and have a more developed, logical, and inclusive view of our society. He will take a look at “Family Guy” and “South Park” and break down stereotypical attitudes and behavior among people.
