Galileo in Pop culture

1. The viewer had to have prior knowledge about the certain events and people in history (such as julius caesar or robin hood) to understand what role they play in the ad.

2. The benefits of using historical themed content in pop culture is that people can learn about history in fun creative ways such as songs or digital media. The dangers of using historical themed content in pop culture is that some things may not be historically true about a certain person, and sometimes may make them look bad than they actually are. It is not good for young viewers because since they dont have prior knowledge about the history, they will form an oppinon already based on a comercial, not from actual history.
