What is popular culture, and what does it mean to you?
Pop Culture is commerical culture that combines music, movies, art, fashion, magazines, dance, and television., literature, and radio. It brings together different people's opinions, ideas, and interests. Pop culture can change perceptions, motivate, and make people scared.
According to Dictionary.com, pop culture is "a contemporary lifestyle and items that are wellknown and generally accepted, cultural patterns that are widespread within a population."
Why is an understanding of popular culture relevant to you in a business environment and in your present and future career?
Pop culture will be very relevant to me in a business environment as I am a marketing major. Marketing is the business of promoting goods and services for the purpose of selling. Pop culture has a huge influence on consumers as pop culture involves what's "in" with fashion, music, art, television, and film. Pop culture's influence can be used to influence consumer purchases.
What would you consider to be an example of a pop culture artifact? And why would you choose it?
I think that an example of a pop culture artificact would be anything that is current and "in". This could include a music sample, pictures of celebrities, shows, clothes or movies. I chose a picture of the cast of the show Modern Family. This show not only is one of the most watched comedies on television but it also brings to light a very large social issue of gay rights as Cameron and Mitch are a gay couple on the show with a small daughter.
