In todays society, our world revolves around pop. culture, trends, and whats in style in todays world. according to Tim Delaney, The term ‘popular culture’ holds different meanings depending on who’s defining it and the context of use. It is generally recognized as the vernacular
or people’s culture that predominates in a society at a point in time. As Brummett explains in Rhetorical Dimensions of Popular Culture, pop culture involves the aspects of social life most actively involved in by the public. As the ‘culture of the people’, popular culture is determined by the interactions between people in their everyday activities: styles of dress, the use of slang, greeting rituals and the foods that people eat are all examples of popular culture. Popular culture is also informed by the mass media. (TimDelaneyhttp://philosophynow.org/issues/64/Pop_Culture_An_Overview)
This is stating that, our society revolves around our social life and what status you are. In todays world, your status and how much influence you have on others matters the most. The teens of todays society like myself, care less about traditional values and more about what the latest trends are. Society today has changed drastically since earlier years.
I chose this topic because it relates to chapter 4 in this class. It corresponds because it shows how different pop. culture and folk culture are in todays world. Folk culture has become less of an influence because of the influence of social status and celebrities. In conclusion, todays society is greatly influenced by pop. culture.
