Pop Culture Survey Questions

1. Until now I had no idea what popular culture was and that I was participating in my everyday life. So in my theory that is how I have decided in a sense. I have taken in our class discussion and the reading materials and now have a grasp on popular culture. I took a look at my actions and decided what was seemingly not needed yet important to so called society.

2. I constantly embrace popular culture in many things I do throughout the day. I start the day with my email. Instead of using a check book I am an online banker. I watch my favorite T.V. shows and utilize my DVR when I am not home often. I also like to buy cool stuff for my girls so that they are with the times.

3. Well this is an interesting question and it has opened some more doors into the idea of popular culture. Such as I have been thinking of laser hair removal for my arms. I don’t like the look of hair on my arms. It makes me wonder if I have this view because of me or because societies beauty ideal.

4. I have not been aware of the influence of popular culture up until now. Now that I have been tossing it around I am starting to notice it more. Although I don’t find it to be so outrageous that I would like to rally against it. I like trends and style and I don’t think I need the common view to show what is right for me. Just because it is in and it’s considered prominent does not make it in my eye ‘not advisable’. I do consider myself more aware now, but the influence has been unnoticed therefore more in my subconscious.
