Read the following article: Popular Culture: We Are What We Consume. Consider what the author has to say about pop culture vs. synth culture. In particular, consider Dr. Jim Taylor’s definition of pop culture: Popular culture is grounded in expressions of shared experiences that are much more fundamental to our society, including the values and beliefs that have shaped it, for example, integrity, community, compassion, courage, sacrifice, respect, hard work, and justice.What genuine pop culture objects and people, based on Dr Taylor’s definition, have had the greatest influence on you and helped to shape the individual you currently are? In this essay, explore one object or one celebrity that has profoundly contributed to your social and personal development and perception of self. You may, actually, consciously consider yourself the “anti” someone. For instance, maybe you saw Brittney Spears or Demi Lovato when you were younger and vowed to never look or act like they do. Why? You may focus on a positive or negative influence. Whether we like it or not, or whether we wish to admit it or not, each of us is influenced by the media in some way. I mean, your greatest influence could be the Dalai Lama, but he, too, has become part of pop culture.Source: pixabay.comQuestions to Consider:What does pop culture mean to you?How do you define the concept of culture?How do you define the ideas of self and identity?Who are your greatest pop culture influences?
