HOW POPULAR CULTURE AFFECTS RACE
The popular culture particularly visual media affects our opions and attitude towards race and racial minorities group. our assumptions about race and
racial minorities are both successeded and reflected in the streotypes presented by the visual media. i strongly believe in the George Gebners scientific
examintaiton of televison that how we perceive ourselves and how we view those around us are affected by what we see on television. Visual media has

represented in television they contribute to the overall racial climate.The historical results have been distinct and different groups have encountered
unique forms of racial opression. Native american faced genocide , blacks were subjected to slavery, mexicans were invaded and asians faced
exclusions. Films and televsions have been notorious in dissementing images of racial minorities which establish for audiences what these groups look
like, how they behave and in essence who they are. Another important perhaps central dimensions of racial minority streotype is sex gender

Popular Culture And Popular Music
'Popular music has been called the soundtracks to our lives: we can hear it on the radio, through our computers, on our iPods or mobile phone, via a
CD player or vinyl record deck, piped into shops, and during television adverts and programmes' (Wall, 2013), music is all around it which makes it
such a massive part of popular culture. This essay will explore the study of Popular Culture, in relation to popular music, how it's changed and why it is
so important. It plays a crucial role as it is a part of our everyday lives; we are constantly influenced by it as it is a mainstream medium that everyone
has access to, it displays different forms or topics everyday for everyone to enjoy.
Culture helps us to understand the world that we live in, what is happening in the world at the time, all about society which all contributes to how we
understand ourselves. It's argued that popular culture has been around since the eighteenth century and (Storey 2003, p. 1) states that 'Romanticisms,
folklore, and finally, folk song, "invented" the first concept of popular culture.' But, it has vastly changed from its origin of folklore to the modern
culture it is better known for today, as it has become modernised as time has gone by and changes such as urbanization and industrialisation have
influenced it. Popular culture takes various forms and cannot simply be defined by one thing as each component links together to create the whole
basis of the pop culture. Each sector is enjoyed and

Popular Culture at the Beginning of the 1960's The early 1960's was a period of time where standard of living was rising and there was more
consumer goods to buy and people were on higher wages so could now afford luxury items which they would of never thought of buying. The
1960's was a period of great change, particularly in the younger generation of people. A good quote from the Prime Mister at the time sums up the
early 60's in a way which many would agree with, 'you've never had it so good', he said this at the 1957 general election – but some people still think

campaigning programmes e.g Tonight also dramas were beginning to become very popular, 'Cathy Come Home' was a great impact on society. By
the mid 60's TV had a major influence on youth by programmes like 'Ready Steady Go', 'Cathy McGowan and 'Ready, Steady, Go' were magic,

Reflection Paper On Pop Culture
Throughout this 6 week Pop Culture course, I can definitely say that I have learned a lot and will be able to apply my knowledge to future classes
and such. In this course we thoroughly discussed the theories of semiotics, cultural economy, hegemony, commodity fetishism, the genre cycle,
globalization, and the social construction of gender, race and class, all which is a large part of our present day community and culture. Despite
learning about all of these central concepts, the two theories that I think make up a big part of our culture and the way that we see the world, is both
semiotics and the social construction of gender, race and class. I chose to do my paper on a certain individual and her family because I think that they
are a major part of our culture and society.
Kim Kardashian is one of the most well known celebrity figures in pop culture today and the world has seen her rise to fame from her family's
popular reality tv show, Keeping up with the Kardashians. Everybody knows about Kris Jenner, her "momager", we know about her sister's health
issues, we know who her father is, Robert Kardashian, since he represented OJ Simpson in the murder trial of Nicole Brown Simpson, and we
definitely know about her 72 day marriage to Kris Humphries. But two of the biggest questions that I can't help but think is why exactly do we care so
much about this her and why/how has she become such a large influential figure in popular culture today?
Recently she was featured on the cover of a well known magazine, Vogue, which is known for who adorns their cover each month. Following Kim
Kardashian's debut on the cover, the magazine received quite a bit of negative comments, asking why she deserved to be there in the first place. In
oh the places you could go, semiotic analysis, a quote by Anna Wintour, the chief editor for Vogue magazine said, "part of the pleasure of editing
Vogue, one that lies in a long tradition of this magazine, is being able to feature those who define the culture at any given moment, who stir things up,
whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influences the way we see it." Kim Kardashian and her family are said to be the ones that

Reflection Of Popular Culture
American Popular Culture – music, movie, painting, and clothing – is seemingly a superficial topic, but is actually the reflection of the social values
and even political inclination that prevailed in the society of that era. From the pious and strict Puritan colonial culture in 1600's to the hippies and
Rock n' Roll in 1970s, American culture did go through massive changes along with the transformations in racial and gender equality, social ideals,
politics, and America's role in the world. In the project, our group divided American history into roughly three periods of time, in each of which we
researched about the content of popular culture as well as analyzed the causes of the these cultural phenomenon and their development. Lilian is...show

At the beginning, in order to reasonably divide the whole history into three periods, we logged into Library Genesis and downloaded papers
including "A History of Popular Culture: More of Everything, Faster and Brighter" and "Prosthetic memory: The transformation of American
remembrance in the age of mass culture". With these materials and our background knowledge of U.S. history, we roughly chose two turning points:
Civil War, Great Depression. Our criteria for dividing the periods was that each period should have unique and distinguished characteristics, and the
popular culture in the era was a reflection of politics, economics, religion, or America's role in the world. Civil War is not only the turning point for
African Americans, but also a signpost for human rights in America. Prior to Civil War, main stream culture came from whites. After Civil War,
African Americans started to be more involved in the society, stimulated more racial integration, and added to the culture diversity in U.S.. Prior to
Great Depression, U.S. witnessed financial crisis for several times. After Great Depression, U.S. enjoyed economic prosperity and its role gradually

Popular culture has an effect on everyone's life in this world. If we don't look like the pretty faces our television and movies advertise to us, than our
life tends to be more difficult growing up. Our country provides fast food chains that are deleterious to our health, but since corporations made them
popular, the average American thinks nothing of it. Even though a lot of Americanpopular culture isn't the best choice in our lives, Judith Ortiz Cofer,
Nora Ephron, and Eric Schlosser use this theme of popular culture in their essays. In Cofer's "The Story of My Body", the author talks about her

As you can see, skin color, race, and looks has a lot to do with the current place and time in popular culture. In Nora Ephron's "The Boston
Photographs", many reactions are conveyed from a photo that all ties into popular culture and what's acceptable in society. Stanley Forman, who was
the photographer for this photograph, captured a rescue attempt that failed and led to a woman's death. Ephron writes that "they are pictures of death
in action, of that split second when luck run out, and it is impossible to look at them without feeling their extraordinary impact and remembering, in an
almost subconscious way, the morbid fantasy of falling, falling off a building, falling to one's death" (434). There were a lot of responses around the
country and most of it was negative due to the result of the incident. Even though most of the comments were negative about the photograph, there
were some positive comments that go beyond the demise of the young woman's death. Marshall L. Stone of Maine's Bangor Dailey News, "claimed
that the Boston pictures showed the dangers of fire escapes and raised questions about slumlords" (435). Ephron wrote that the photographs
"dramatically conveyed something that had happened, and that business we're in. They were news...", even though the pictures show a real life event

The Culture Of Popular Culture Essay
Popular culture is a term that holds various meanings depending on where it 's being defined and the context of its use. It is usually recognized as the
language or people's culture that prevails in a society at a point in time. As social researcher Brummett explains in his book "Rhetorical Dimensions of
Popular Culture", pop culture reflects the characteristics of social life, where the publicly are most actively involved. Popular culture is known as the
'culture of the people'. This culture is determined by the interactions between people within their daily activities, for instance, dressing styles, use of
language, greeting rituals and the ways that people behave in public, etc. are all examples of popular culture. Popular culture is also diverted by the
mass media (Abbott and Sapsford, 1987).
Popular culture is generally believed to be comprised of a variety of elements. For example, popular culture covers the most contemporary and instant
aspects of our lives. These aspects can often show the characteristics of rapid change, especially in today's highly technological and informative world
in which, people are highly influenced by the universal media. Certain standards of behaviour and common beliefs are reflected in pop culture.
Because of its cohesion, pop culture both influences and reflects people's daily life. Moreover, brands can reach iconic pop status. However, these
aspects are not constant and may change rapidly. (Abbott and Sapsford, 1987).

Religion In Popular Culture Essay
Religion in Popular Culture Popular culture is culture found in a large, heterogeneous society, that shares certain habits despite differences in other
personal characteristic. Popular culture can consist of: a popular song, performer,movie or tv show, comic trip, "super hero", etc. I decided to choose
a song by Carrie Underwood called " Jesus Take the wheel". The title itself is pretty self explanatory. The purpose of this song is saying that when
times get tough that's when people want help, need guidance from God. They ask him forgiveness and hope that God set them on the right path. In the
song, "Jesus Take the Wheel" the main character is a stressed young adult, who's trying to get home to see her parents for christmas with her child

Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in

enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I
will sing the Lord's praise, for he has been good to me." This has 6 verses, at first he questions God then he calls God out. But then he worshiped
God, he thanks God. For the things he have done for him. David was feeling hopeless, so he called on God. Just like in Carrie Underwood– " Jesus
take the wheel". The young adult called for God when she felt powerless. A subliminal religious motif from the video was that it was recorded in a
church. Church has a variety of meanings. Some may say it's to worship the lord, or a place to pray. Also, in the video it shows the mother and her

Introduction
Technological advancements the last decades have contributed to the creation of a globalized era, with the English language as a common
denominator, as the major language spoken between those who do not share any language.
Globalization have made it possible for an extreme output of popular culture that has mainly origins of English speaking countries with U.S.A. as the
main exporter of popular culture through music, movies, television etc. In this essay I explore the positive aspects that using popular music in the

"They get enough of that at home":
Claims that pop culture does not belong in the classroom are outdated.
Teachers might feel a general unwillingness toward incorporating popular culture in the classroom and there are often several issues that create this
point of view. teachers might not understand the contemporary popular culture of today's youth and therefore project negative thoughts on what is
popular, expressing ideas such as; children who are more interested in popular culture are not as bright as those who prefer reading. Teachers might also
regard pop culture as contra productive for student's creativity and reason that they get enough of input in their spare time (Lambirth, 2003). However,
the teachers are not those who can fully take the blame for not wanting to incorporate popular culture in the classroom. The teachers are caught between
the two strong influences, of the popular culture industry and those who create the educational policies (Lambirth, 2003) It might therefore be unfair to
lay blame on teachers for not wanting to take a gamble on their jobs and career by using methods that does not follow their curriculum. Using popular
culture in the subject demands some knowledge of current technology and in using media properly in the classroom. The teacher

Popular Culture Impact On Society
Throughout the world, popular culture has made an impact, especially on especially to people living throughout the world. The impact of popular
culture has several benefits on both individuals and society. Several of the benefits that popular culture has on society are entertaining, informing, and
interactions. One of the benefits of popular culture is entertainment. First, people are entertained by attending public events. For example, people
attend sporting events. For example, fans can attends sporting events such football, basketball, and baseball games to watch their favorite team
play. Also, several fans benefit by watching their team play on TV. Secondly, people attend other public events such as concerts of famous
celebrities. Thirdly, individuals can be entertained by watching movies. In her essay Shih talks about how movies can be entertaining (389). For
example, in action movies such as Mission Impossible there several Hollywood stunts that entertains the people who are watching the movie. Also,
in mystery films the main goal is to keep people guessing on what is going to happen like in the movie cube. Next, entertainment benefits society
through electronics. For example, people are entertained by downloading apps that allow them to listen to music, play games, and watch movies
some examples of these examples of apps that people that are downloadable includes apps such as Candy Crush, Spotify, and Crackle. Furthermore,
entertainment is a benefit to society because it relieves stress. For example, if a person isn't having a great day they can click on a website similar to
YouTube and watch funny video such as "ghetto chef" series by a YouTube channel called DashieXP. Also, stress is relieved by watching movies on a
site such as Netflix, which features different types of categories such as tv shows, comedy, horror, and action. In addition,popular culture educates
people and society. One way of informing people is with the news. For example, sites such as onlineathens.com inform people about what is happening
in town. Also, the website informs people on sports including the latest scores from UGA. Also, Network channels such as FOX, MSNBC, and CNN
informs people about major events around the world

Argumentative Essay On Pop Culture
Pop culture, or popular culture, is knowns as a term appeared in mid 20 century. It is defined as the categories of entertainment, politics, sports,
fashion, technology, and have a way to influence a person's opinion to a certain topic.
Although being called "popular culture", the culture seems to be only for white people. The culture does not work for people of color since the time it
began. Is pop culture just for white audience have been a question to society? Do all of the producers just make the Tv shows to white people as a
target? How can people of color enjoy the pop culture when it does not make for them?
It would be easy to google search with the key term "pop culture and people of color". There are over three million results in 0.8s with many articles
such as "How to enjoy pop culture when you are the black people?", "Is American pop culture is dominated by American black culture?", or "Black
culture is popular, black people are not",...Why this problem is available? Is it because that pop culture is consciously designed with a white audience
in mind?
Reality shows – the present of mass media on entertainment which make the big influence to American society. Everybody watched the same stuff, the
same old movies, or the same reruns before the cable TV or Internet appeared. For example, the Simpson was a successful sitcom became an institution

Forms Of Pop Culture
There are many forms of pop culture seen throughout society. Many people see pop culture in different forms. Some may see pop culture in a
comic book series or on social media platforms. There are some things that people do not feel should be considered being a part of pop culture.
Everything has a meaning, within the meaning of the object is some form of art seen by others. Pop culture encompasses a variety of work with
different styles of art. Any form of art can be considered being a part of pop culture. Pop culture itself is a form of art. There are different forms of
art when it comes down to pop culture. Though, there are many forms of art, some people tend to feel that they do not belong in the pop culture
category. Comics at one time were not considered to be a form of art. According to Douglas Walk, "Comic culture couldn't have attracted as many
people as it's attracted" (Walk 570). The quote shows that comics were not always as popular as they are now. People would not have come to fact
that comics could possibly be considered as art. People see art in different ways. Not everyone sees art the same. Pop culture has bought about many
ways of seeing different forms art. For instance, Susan Willis' "From Inside the Mouse: Work and Play at Disney World" shows that Disney World
shows many forms of art throughout the theme park. Disney World itself, if a form of art. According to Willis, "Nothing is left to the imagination or

Popular Culture And Social Media Essay
Popular culture was, and perhaps still is, seen as a touchy and risky topic that should not be experimented in by many educational institutions. Callahan
and Low (2004) point out that popular culture is looked upon unfavorably due to its fluid nature and habit of putting teachers in zones outside their
expertise and familiarity (p.52). Additionally, as described by GutiГ©rrez (2011)popular culture and the fandoms that inevitably followed were
believed to create a single path by which the individual merely payed tribute to a source material without having ever gained or learned anything in
return (p.227). Furthermore, Hull and Stornaiuolo (2010) assert that formal, or standardized, schooling is skeptical of the potential educational value
while magnifying the potential risks of popular culture and social media (p 85), perhaps prompting instructors to stick to traditional techniques in lieu of
potential dangers, to both students and their own job security. Why then, despite the potentially debilitating aspects of popular culture in the classroom,
do some teachers still choose to incorporate them? Admittedly, I observed very few instances of pop culture implementation during my first field
experience, however those that did incorporate popular culture did so naturally, enthusiastically, and so masterfully that it was without a doubt
beneficial when compared to classes that were kept material "dry" and by the books. Therefore, the real question becomes: How do teachers

The Importance Of Beauty In Popular Culture
Question? How do you define yourself as an individual? Through your style, through your mind, through the way that you curl your tongue or even
toes? We all have a unique way about who we are and how we carry about ourselves, and it can't simply be defined through the manikins that you see in
stores or with the false reality that many media corporations have shown to their audience through poster ads, TV commercial, and products they sell,
sets a barrier between the reality and fantasy of beauty standards. Sadly, with programs like Photoshop and SkinneePix, the media helps create the
illusion that corporations want their audience to see. These television, magazines, newspapers, and billboard advertisements that different corporations
create, are not the only thing that influences standards of beauty in popular culture. But, when shopping online, many companies only put the products
that they want to sell and give the consumers the freedom and the right to choose whatever product that they want without the judgment others and/or

The Pop Culture And Existential Psychology Essay
This paper is finding the pop culture that is related to existential psychology. I have watched the movie one day this time around in last year. It was
the movie that my best friend recommended to watch, so I was watching at my friend's house. I had no idea at the time what this movie was about
except I guessed it will be a romantic movie since the photo or the poster (not sure with the exact term for it) on the DVD was a woman and a man
kissing each other. So, here is the brief summary of this movie. Emma Morely who Anne Hathaway played and Dexter Mayhew played Jim
Sturgess are the main characters. Don't watch it if you are not a fan of Anne Hathaway. Emma and Dexter met at Emma's college graduation for
the first time. Dexter was a friend of Emma's. On the day that they first met, Dexter and Emma tried to have a sex but they didn't and became
friends. After the night spend together, Dexter and Emma only meet up on once a year on July 15th for 23 years. So, that makes them to only see
each other 23 times in whole entire movie. Emma wanted to be an author but she failed to be one. Dexter was born in the rich family so, he was
always traveling and always dating and drinking and having sex with the girls. As Emma failed to become an author, Dexter became a popular TV star
and earned much money and fame. Although Emma was in love with Dexter, there was no romantic relationship developed between them. While Dexter
is still addicted with alcohol, and drugs he visited his mom who

The Themes Of Popular Culture
Why Themes in Popular Culture are Important to Study
The study of popular culture is useful in many ways. To be more specific, this course has reached its three intended main ideas: what it means to be
American, how to be more consumption–conscious, and how to apply these studies in our own lives. Jim Cullen puts this in a less specific sense,
arguing that the study of popular culture can "afford valuable clues – about collective fears, hopes, and debates" (Cullen, The Art of Democracy, 2). We
use these clues to understand the world around us, as well as why we do what we do as Americans and as humans. I will be touching on themes that
relate to this quotation by Cullen, escapism, exploitation, and globalization, as well as how these themes relate to the course goals.
"For most of the twentieth century, [popular culture] has been denigrated by intellectuals of all ideological stripes as either meaningless escapism or
a dangerous narcotic" (Cullen 2). Popular culture is a form of escapism; however, I would argue against those intellectuals calling it meaningless,
because, as we have also learned from Cullen, the elites will reject new forms of popular culture. Returning to escapism, an example we have seen is
in comic books. Adolescent boys would turn to comics as a source of escapism. For example, lower–class second–generation Jewish immigrants,
searching for their place to fit in society, created Superman. Their comics appealed to young boys, in a post–Depression era, with

Folk Culture And Popular Culture
Would you want to drink blood? Eat termites? How about have your baby tossed off of a building? These are just a few different rituals and
cultures that exist all around our world. They might not be what we call "normal," but to those who are practicing them, they are part of their popular
or folk culture, and for them, are completely normal. Perspective is everything. The main difference between folk and popular culture is the impact it
has on society. Folk culture is usually practiced within a small group of people or city. On the other hand, popular culture is seen in a large group or

This small ethnic group is known as the Wodaabe people. What makes the group interesting and different is that they have a dance festival where
men can steal other men's wives! The Wodaabe men dress up and paint their faces to make themselves look desirable to the women judges. They also
perform mating dances to attract the judges. Married or not, women are allowed to pick any man they want and choose whether they want to marry
them. This usually results after an"entertainment" night to decide whether or not he is a good candidate for her. If the woman is already married she
is allowed to either replace her original husband, or be married to both! In America this practice, is very unusual, albeit illegal, to be married to two
men...let alone have a festival to replace your own husband! However, there are very small religious factions within the US that still practice plural
marriage. The majority of Americans do not support this religious/folk culture in our society. Also in Nigeria, there is a weird custom of eating winged
termites! They are usually consumed during the rainy season because that is when these termites appear. You just roast them, sprinkle a little salt, and
bon appetit! Although, Nigerian research has shown that these creatures could potentially lead to the treatment of asthma, wounds, malnutrition, etc.!

The Popular Culture And The Theory Of Pop Culture
I believe that the phenomenon of greeting banners by communities and families is a kind of pop culture. Popular culture or pop culture is a kind of
phenomena that becomes mainstreams in a certain culture, in this case the culture of Balinese people. Balinese people take a new form of the way
they deliver their Hari raya greeting, that is through banner and it somehow become popular and mainstreams. So what the importance of studying or
doing research about pop culture is to find out the underplaying assumption, the power behind the pop culture and the moral, attitude and philosophical
construct of the society that implement the pop culture. From it, we can get a better understanding about how that certain society works and how their

What people think about something and what are their attitude of a certain mater is an important aspect of their life in approaching and solving
problems. Basically, it is about how they face the world and how their behavior can influence their own well being and the society. In a study about
innovation, Robert Sternberg state that creativity is, in large part, a decision that people make. He studies the thinking processes that distinguish
creative people and highlights attitudes that help spark creativity and stimulate innovation. Understanding the creativity of people in a society in
expressing things and solving their problem may help researcher to assess and answer their inquiry needs as well as promoting something that may
improve their welfare. So as I state before, understanding the phenomenon of greeting banner may help us to develop other similar strategies or

  • 1. Essay on How Popular Culture Affects Race HOW POPULAR CULTURE AFFECTS RACE The popular culture particularly visual media affects our opions and attitude towards race and racial minorities group. our assumptions about race and racial minorities are both successeded and reflected in the streotypes presented by the visual media. i strongly believe in the George Gebners scientific examintaiton of televison that how we perceive ourselves and how we view those around us are affected by what we see on television. Visual media has such a heavy impact on us that even though they present a grossly distorted picture of the real world. people tend to accept more readily than reality itslef. the popular culture deals with symbolic realm of social life, the image which it creates, represents...show more content... the other was the imbalances created in the televison between black and white community. it teaches young black to accept minority status as noticebely inevietable and even deserved. television also overrepresent and glamourize the elite occupation that sets up unrealistic expectations and largely neglects portraying the occupation such as farmers, factory workers and small businessman. On television 55% of characters are involved in the violent conforontation once a week in reality figure is less than 1 % creating a fear of crime. the way the race and the racial minority groups are represented in television they contribute to the overall racial climate.The historical results have been distinct and different groups have encountered unique forms of racial opression. Native american faced genocide , blacks were subjected to slavery, mexicans were invaded and asians faced exclusions. Films and televsions have been notorious in dissementing images of racial minorities which establish for audiences what these groups look like, how they behave and in essence who they are. Another important perhaps central dimensions of racial minority streotype is sex gender differentiation. women of color were sometimes treated as erotic sex objects. such a comment revelas an interesting aspects about myths and reality in american culture. the imporatance of race Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Popular Culture And Popular Music 'Popular music has been called the soundtracks to our lives: we can hear it on the radio, through our computers, on our iPods or mobile phone, via a CD player or vinyl record deck, piped into shops, and during television adverts and programmes' (Wall, 2013), music is all around it which makes it such a massive part of popular culture. This essay will explore the study of Popular Culture, in relation to popular music, how it's changed and why it is so important. It plays a crucial role as it is a part of our everyday lives; we are constantly influenced by it as it is a mainstream medium that everyone has access to, it displays different forms or topics everyday for everyone to enjoy. Culture helps us to understand the world that we live in, what is happening in the world at the time, all about society which all contributes to how we understand ourselves. It's argued that popular culture has been around since the eighteenth century and (Storey 2003, p. 1) states that 'Romanticisms, folklore, and finally, folk song, "invented" the first concept of popular culture.' But, it has vastly changed from its origin of folklore to the modern culture it is better known for today, as it has become modernised as time has gone by and changes such as urbanization and industrialisation have influenced it. Popular culture takes various forms and cannot simply be defined by one thing as each component links together to create the whole basis of the pop culture.

Popular Culture at the Beginning of the 1960's The early 1960's was a period of time where standard of living was rising and there was more consumer goods to buy and people were on higher wages so could now afford luxury items which they would of never thought of buying. The 1960's was a period of great change, particularly in the younger generation of people. A good quote from the Prime Mister at the time sums up the early 60's in a way which many would agree with, 'you've never had it so good', he said this at the 1957 general election – but some people still think the late 50's as 'grey' this reflects the culture of Britain at the time.

Early 60's TV dominated by middle and upper classes, but Coronation Street started and was about working class people this new drama changed TV and started to reflect society. The 60's bought lots of new shows to the public this was the start of campaigning programmes e.g Tonight also dramas were beginning to become very popular, 'Cathy Come Home' was a great impact on society. By the mid 60's TV had a major influence on youth by programmes like 'Ready Steady Go', 'Cathy McGowan and 'Ready, Steady, Go' were magic, compulsory viewing. Manfred Mann singing '5, 4, 3, 2, 1' was the theme music. I'll never forget that wonderful catch–cry 'the weekend starts here!', with the accompanying feeling of freedom, excitement and youth', this account show how important TV had become to the youth of the nation. Radio in the early 60's was poor and contain little interest in the youth as it was light programmes like, ''sing something simple' but the 60's saw the big change of radio in 1962/63 saw the start of pirate radio stations which play music which the younger generations wanted to listen to, 'Pirate radio stations were so important. We just had to listen to Radio Caroline, it was so different from everything else that had ever been on the radio.

  • 4. Reflection Paper On Pop Culture Throughout this 6 week Pop Culture course, I can definitely say that I have learned a lot and will be able to apply my knowledge to future classes and such. In this course we thoroughly discussed the theories of semiotics, cultural economy, hegemony, commodity fetishism, the genre cycle, globalization, and the social construction of gender, race and class, all which is a large part of our present day community and culture. Despite learning about all of these central concepts, the two theories that I think make up a big part of our culture and the way that we see the world, is both semiotics and the social construction of gender, race and class. I chose to do my paper on a certain individual and her family because I think that they are a major part of our culture and society. Kim Kardashian is one of the most well known celebrity figures in pop culture today and the world has seen her rise to fame from her family's popular reality tv show, Keeping up with the Kardashians. Everybody knows about Kris Jenner, her "momager", we know about her sister's health issues, we know who her father is, Robert Kardashian, since he represented OJ Simpson in the murder trial of Nicole Brown Simpson, and we definitely know about her 72 day marriage to Kris Humphries. But two of the biggest questions that I can't help but think is why exactly do we care so much about this her and why/how has she become such a large influential figure in popular culture today? Recently she was featured on the cover of a well known magazine, Vogue, which is known for who adorns their cover each month. Following Kim Kardashian's debut on the cover, the magazine received quite a bit of negative comments, asking why she deserved to be there in the first place. In oh the places you could go, semiotic analysis, a quote by Anna Wintour, the chief editor for Vogue magazine said, "part of the pleasure of editing Vogue, one that lies in a long tradition of this magazine, is being able to feature those who define the culture at any given moment, who stir things up, whose presence in the world shapes the way it looks and influences the way we see it." Kim Kardashian and her family are said to be the ones that define our culture but it makes you wonder, what Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Reflection Of Popular Culture American Popular Culture – music, movie, painting, and clothing – is seemingly a superficial topic, but is actually the reflection of the social values and even political inclination that prevailed in the society of that era. From the pious and strict Puritan colonial culture in 1600's to the hippies and Rock n' Roll in 1970s, American culture did go through massive changes along with the transformations in racial and gender equality, social ideals, politics, and America's role in the world. In the project, our group divided American history into roughly three periods of time, in each of which we researched about the content of popular culture as well as analyzed the causes of the these cultural phenomenon and their development. Lilian is...show more content... At the beginning, in order to reasonably divide the whole history into three periods, we logged into Library Genesis and downloaded papers including "A History of Popular Culture: More of Everything, Faster and Brighter" and "Prosthetic memory: The transformation of American remembrance in the age of mass culture". With these materials and our background knowledge of U.S. history, we roughly chose two turning points: Civil War, Great Depression. Our criteria for dividing the periods was that each period should have unique and distinguished characteristics, and the popular culture in the era was a reflection of politics, economics, religion, or America's role in the world. Civil War is not only the turning point for African Americans, but also a signpost for human rights in America. Prior to Civil War, main stream culture came from whites. After Civil War, African Americans started to be more involved in the society, stimulated more racial integration, and added to the culture diversity in U.S.. Prior to Great Depression, U.S. witnessed financial crisis for several times. After Great Depression, U.S. enjoyed economic prosperity and its role gradually became important Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Popular culture has an effect on everyone's life in this world. If we don't look like the pretty faces our television and movies advertise to us, than our life tends to be more difficult growing up. Our country provides fast food chains that are deleterious to our health, but since corporations made them popular, the average American thinks nothing of it. Even though a lot of Americanpopular culture isn't the best choice in our lives, Judith Ortiz Cofer, Nora Ephron, and Eric Schlosser use this theme of popular culture in their essays. In Cofer's "The Story of My Body", the author talks about her experience growing up in a world where her culture and looks does not fit into America's popular cultured society. For instance, Cofer is...show more content... As you can see, skin color, race, and looks has a lot to do with the current place and time in popular culture. In Nora Ephron's "The Boston Photographs", many reactions are conveyed from a photo that all ties into popular culture and what's acceptable in society. Stanley Forman, who was the photographer for this photograph, captured a rescue attempt that failed and led to a woman's death. Ephron writes that "they are pictures of death in action, of that split second when luck run out, and it is impossible to look at them without feeling their extraordinary impact and remembering, in an almost subconscious way, the morbid fantasy of falling, falling off a building, falling to one's death" (434). There were a lot of responses around the country and most of it was negative due to the result of the incident. Even though most of the comments were negative about the photograph, there were some positive comments that go beyond the demise of the young woman's death. Marshall L. Stone of Maine's Bangor Dailey News, "claimed that the Boston pictures showed the dangers of fire escapes and raised questions about slumlords" (435). Ephron wrote that the photographs "dramatically conveyed something that had happened, and that business we're in. They were news...", even though the pictures show a real life event and not woman's dead bod, the people are not used to seeing reality.

  • 7. Definition Essay On Popular Culture Your definition on what is popular culture is very clear. I agree that people are easily swept away by the popular idea at the time with little persuasion. I remember the time that everybody was playing Angry Bird and Candy Crush just because everybody else was doing it. During the summer Pokemon Go was pretty popular but it was all because of the hype and wanting to fit in. Some people that played weren't even fans of Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. The Culture Of Popular Culture Essay Popular culture is a term that holds various meanings depending on where it 's being defined and the context of its use. It is usually recognized as the language or people's culture that prevails in a society at a point in time. As social researcher Brummett explains in his book "Rhetorical Dimensions of Popular Culture", pop culture reflects the characteristics of social life, where the publicly are most actively involved. Popular culture is known as the 'culture of the people'. This culture is determined by the interactions between people within their daily activities, for instance, dressing styles, use of language, greeting rituals and the ways that people behave in public, etc. are all examples of popular culture. Popular culture is also diverted by the mass media (Abbott and Sapsford, 1987). Popular culture is generally believed to be comprised of a variety of elements. For example, popular culture covers the most contemporary and instant aspects of our lives. These aspects can often show the characteristics of rapid change, especially in today's highly technological and informative world in which, people are highly influenced by the universal media. Certain standards of behaviour and common beliefs are reflected in pop culture. Because of its cohesion, pop culture both influences and reflects people's daily life. Moreover, brands can reach iconic pop status. However, these aspects are not constant and may change rapidly. (Abbott and Sapsford, 1987). With these vital Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Religion In Popular Culture Essay Religion in Popular Culture Popular culture is culture found in a large, heterogeneous society, that shares certain habits despite differences in other personal characteristic. Popular culture can consist of: a popular song, performer,movie or tv show, comic trip, "super hero", etc. I decided to choose a song by Carrie Underwood called " Jesus Take the wheel". The title itself is pretty self explanatory. The purpose of this song is saying that when times get tough that's when people want help, need guidance from God. They ask him forgiveness and hope that God set them on the right path. In the song, "Jesus Take the Wheel" the main character is a stressed young adult, who's trying to get home to see her parents for christmas with her child ...show more content... Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, and my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord's praise, for he has been good to me." This has 6 verses, at first he questions God then he calls God out. But then he worshiped God, he thanks God. For the things he have done for him. David was feeling hopeless, so he called on God. Just like in Carrie Underwood– " Jesus take the wheel". The young adult called for God when she felt powerless. A subliminal religious motif from the video was that it was recorded in a church. Church has a variety of meanings. Some may say it's to worship the lord, or a place to pray. Also, in the video it shows the mother and her baby growing old together. Its as if they were saying by giving your life to God, you live longer. Without God there's no Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Essay on pop culture Introduction Technological advancements the last decades have contributed to the creation of a globalized era, with the English language as a common denominator, as the major language spoken between those who do not share any language. Globalization have made it possible for an extreme output of popular culture that has mainly origins of English speaking countries with U.S.A. as the main exporter of popular culture through music, movies, television etc. In this essay I explore the positive aspects that using popular music in the classroom might potentially have. In my main issues I discuss the motivational aspects of popular culture, why teachers might feel insecure or unwilling to use the student 's personal interests of popular...show more content... "They get enough of that at home": Claims that pop culture does not belong in the classroom are outdated. Teachers might feel a general unwillingness toward incorporating popular culture in the classroom and there are often several issues that create this point of view. teachers might not understand the contemporary popular culture of today's youth and therefore project negative thoughts on what is popular, expressing ideas such as; children who are more interested in popular culture are not as bright as those who prefer reading. Teachers might also regard pop culture as contra productive for student's creativity and reason that they get enough of input in their spare time (Lambirth, 2003). However, the teachers are not those who can fully take the blame for not wanting to incorporate popular culture in the classroom. The teachers are caught between the two strong influences, of the popular culture industry and those who create the educational policies (Lambirth, 2003) It might therefore be unfair to lay blame on teachers for not wanting to take a gamble on their jobs and career by using methods that does not follow their curriculum. Using popular culture in the subject demands some knowledge of current technology and in using media properly in the classroom. The teacher Get more content on HelpWriting.net

For example, people are entertained by downloading apps that allow them to listen to music, play games, and watch movies some examples of these examples of apps that people that are downloadable includes apps such as Candy Crush, Spotify, and Crackle.

Some may see pop culture in a comic book series or on social media platforms. There are some things that people do not feel should be considered being a part of pop culture. Everything has a meaning, within the meaning of the object is some form of art seen by others. Pop culture encompasses a variety of work with different styles of art. Any form of art can be considered being a part of pop culture. Pop culture itself is a form of art. There are different forms of art when it comes down to pop culture. Though, there are many forms of art, some people tend to feel that they do not belong in the pop culture category. Comics at one time were not considered to be a form of art. According to Douglas Walk, "Comic culture couldn't have attracted as many people as it's attracted" (Walk 570). The quote shows that comics were not always as popular as they are now. People would not have come to fact that comics could possibly be considered as art. People see art in different ways. Not everyone sees art the same.

  • 14. Popular Culture And Social Media Essay Popular culture was, and perhaps still is, seen as a touchy and risky topic that should not be experimented in by many educational institutions. Callahan and Low (2004) point out that popular culture is looked upon unfavorably due to its fluid nature and habit of putting teachers in zones outside their expertise and familiarity (p.52). Additionally, as described by GutiГ©rrez (2011)popular culture and the fandoms that inevitably followed were believed to create a single path by which the individual merely payed tribute to a source material without having ever gained or learned anything in return (p.227). Furthermore, Hull and Stornaiuolo (2010) assert that formal, or standardized, schooling is skeptical of the potential educational value while magnifying the potential risks of popular culture and social media (p 85), perhaps prompting instructors to stick to traditional techniques in lieu of potential dangers, to both students and their own job security. Why then, despite the potentially debilitating aspects of popular culture in the classroom, do some teachers still choose to incorporate them? Admittedly, I observed very few instances of pop culture implementation during my first field experience, however those that did incorporate popular culture did so naturally, enthusiastically, and so masterfully that it was without a doubt beneficial when compared to classes that were kept material "dry" and by the books. Therefore, the real question becomes: How do teachers Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 15. The Importance Of Beauty In Popular Culture Question? How do you define yourself as an individual? Through your style, through your mind, through the way that you curl your tongue or even toes? We all have a unique way about who we are and how we carry about ourselves, and it can't simply be defined through the manikins that you see in stores or with the false reality that many media corporations have shown to their audience through poster ads, TV commercial, and products they sell, sets a barrier between the reality and fantasy of beauty standards. Sadly, with programs like Photoshop and SkinneePix, the media helps create the illusion that corporations want their audience to see. These television, magazines, newspapers, and billboard advertisements that different corporations create, are not the only thing that influences standards of beauty in popular culture. But, when shopping online, many companies only put the products that they want to sell and give the consumers the freedom and the right to choose whatever product that they want without the judgment others and/or an advertisement, which is why buying online is personally called my safe place! Popular culture places a large amount of emphasis on the "ideal model look."

  • 16. The Pop Culture And Existential Psychology Essay This paper is finding the pop culture that is related to existential psychology. I have watched the movie one day this time around in last year. It was the movie that my best friend recommended to watch, so I was watching at my friend's house. I had no idea at the time what this movie was about except I guessed it will be a romantic movie since the photo or the poster (not sure with the exact term for it) on the DVD was a woman and a man kissing each other. So, here is the brief summary of this movie. Emma Morely who Anne Hathaway played and Dexter Mayhew played Jim Sturgess are the main characters. Don't watch it if you are not a fan of Anne Hathaway. Emma and Dexter met at Emma's college graduation for the first time. Dexter was a friend of Emma's. On the day that they first met, Dexter and Emma tried to have a sex but they didn't and became friends. After the night spend together, Dexter and Emma only meet up on once a year on July 15th for 23 years. So, that makes them to only see each other 23 times in whole entire movie. Emma wanted to be an author but she failed to be one. Dexter was born in the rich family so, he was always traveling and always dating and drinking and having sex with the girls. As Emma failed to become an author, Dexter became a popular TV star and earned much money and fame. Although Emma was in love with Dexter, there was no romantic relationship developed between them. While Dexter is still addicted with alcohol, and drugs he visited his mom who Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. The Themes Of Popular Culture Why Themes in Popular Culture are Important to Study The study of popular culture is useful in many ways. To be more specific, this course has reached its three intended main ideas: what it means to be American, how to be more consumption–conscious, and how to apply these studies in our own lives. Jim Cullen puts this in a less specific sense, arguing that the study of popular culture can "afford valuable clues – about collective fears, hopes, and debates" (Cullen, The Art of Democracy, 2). We use these clues to understand the world around us, as well as why we do what we do as Americans and as humans. I will be touching on themes that relate to this quotation by Cullen, escapism, exploitation, and globalization, as well as how these themes relate to the course goals. "For most of the twentieth century, [popular culture] has been denigrated by intellectuals of all ideological stripes as either meaningless escapism or a dangerous narcotic" (Cullen 2). Popular culture is a form of escapism; however, I would argue against those intellectuals calling it meaningless, because, as we have also learned from Cullen, the elites will reject new forms of popular culture. Returning to escapism, an example we have seen is in comic books. Adolescent boys would turn to comics as a source of escapism. For example, lower–class second–generation Jewish immigrants, searching for their place to fit in society, created Superman. Their comics appealed to young boys, in a post–Depression era, with Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. Folk Culture And Popular Culture Would you want to drink blood? Eat termites? How about have your baby tossed off of a building? These are just a few different rituals and cultures that exist all around our world. They might not be what we call "normal," but to those who are practicing them, they are part of their popular or folk culture, and for them, are completely normal. Perspective is everything. The main difference between folk and popular culture is the impact it has on society. Folk culture is usually practiced within a small group of people or city. On the other hand, popular culture is seen in a large group or country. This is why you usually see popular culture taking place in large groups in more developed countries (MDCs), rather than the least...show more content... This small ethnic group is known as the Wodaabe people. What makes the group interesting and different is that they have a dance festival where men can steal other men's wives! The Wodaabe men dress up and paint their faces to make themselves look desirable to the women judges. They also perform mating dances to attract the judges. Married or not, women are allowed to pick any man they want and choose whether they want to marry them. This usually results after an"entertainment" night to decide whether or not he is a good candidate for her. If the woman is already married she is allowed to either replace her original husband, or be married to both! In America this practice, is very unusual, albeit illegal, to be married to two men...let alone have a festival to replace your own husband! However, there are very small religious factions within the US that still practice plural marriage. The majority of Americans do not support this religious/folk culture in our society. Also in Nigeria, there is a weird custom of eating winged termites! They are usually consumed during the rainy season because that is when these termites appear. You just roast them, sprinkle a little salt, and bon appetit! Although, Nigerian research has shown that these creatures could potentially lead to the treatment of asthma, wounds, malnutrition, etc.! Perhaps, what just seems gross to Americans, may, in other cultures have real reasons behind them. There are also odd cultures in Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 19. The Popular Culture And The Theory Of Pop Culture I believe that the phenomenon of greeting banners by communities and families is a kind of pop culture. Popular culture or pop culture is a kind of phenomena that becomes mainstreams in a certain culture, in this case the culture of Balinese people. Balinese people take a new form of the way they deliver their Hari raya greeting, that is through banner and it somehow become popular and mainstreams. So what the importance of studying or doing research about pop culture is to find out the underplaying assumption, the power behind the pop culture and the moral, attitude and philosophical construct of the society that implement the pop culture. From it, we can get a better understanding about how that certain society works and how their perception and behavior are shaped by the pop culture. One of the theories of pop culture study is the theory of mass society....show more content... What people think about something and what are their attitude of a certain mater is an important aspect of their life in approaching and solving problems. Basically, it is about how they face the world and how their behavior can influence their own well being and the society. In a study about innovation, Robert Sternberg state that creativity is, in large part, a decision that people make. He studies the thinking processes that distinguish creative people and highlights attitudes that help spark creativity and stimulate innovation. Understanding the creativity of people in a society in expressing things and solving their problem may help researcher to assess and answer their inquiry needs as well as promoting something that may improve their welfare. So as I state before, understanding the phenomenon of greeting banner may help us to develop other similar strategies or phenomenon for other good purposes, like for example, rising awareness of the more important Get more content on HelpWriting.net
