Popular Culture

Popular Culture has helped shape my life. How could it not help shape anyone's life. It surrounds us day in day out. The television, radio, internet, and newspaper always informing us what is new, current, and popular. Certain values are placed on us via popular culture. It even influences some on who they hang out with and who they accept as friends. Popular culture I don't think has influenced my friend selection much. It might have played roles in meeting people. Getting to know people by sharing common interests which may be the current thing. The clothes I wear have been affected by popular culture. But, that mainly has to do with me just picking up what's in the store that I like. The contents of the store change from season to season based on what is popular at the time. The music I listen to affected by popular culture is mainly what I listen to on the radio when I am driving. What I listen to normally is usually what I can find just browsing online. Transportation is affected by popular culture. Cars have been the big popular things for years now and I drive one.

Well said, I believe the same as far as how pop culture affecting our friends. It just makes our friendships better knowing we can send e-mails, texts.
