Popular Culture to me is everything that makes up the trends in today's society. It would be the music we listen to, the clothes we wear, the religion that we are, or the beliefs we have. Society decides what is in, and what is not. Why do we watch the reality television shows? Why do we read the magazines we do? I believe it is because we can't wait to see what the next big fad is going to be, or what most celebrities are doing. Maybe it's because we need to escape our own lives, possibly to fantasize about what we could have or just to get away from the stress of our own lives.
I believe that studying popular culture will help me to better understand all different cultures. I think that it will help me understand why people do the things they do. I hope that it will teach me to understand all aspects of today's society. It will help me to learn more about myself and others. It will help me to understand that everything around me is there for a reason.
