Pop Culture and What it Means to Me

Popular Culture is everywhere around us.  It is the TV shows we watch, the name brands of the shoes we wear and the even the phones we use. We are bombarded every day with images and name brands and items we should use, wear or eat because everyone is doing it. Every Culture has the things everybody associates with Popular Culture.  In almost all industrialized countries people now have computers, TVs and cell phones. So some pop culture items are expanding to everywhere in the world. Because of the Internet I can now watch popular TVs from England, Japan and many other countries.  So for me Pop culture is almost everything around us it is what we are wearing, how we communicate and what we drive.  It is in everything we do and see.

I feel it is very relevant in the business world; it helps companies to know how to get the peoples attention.  It shows business what people are interested in and like to do. It will be relevant in my course of study as I am working on my degree in Computer Programming.  I could be creating apps or programs involving one or more Popular Culture items.  

            My artifact is a reality TV show called “Duck Dynasty”.   People are in love with this TV show from women to men.  Men are growing full-face beards because of this show and women love that their men are doing it. There are Facebook pages and Twitter pages dedicated to the show, the characters and even the things they say. They are everywhere on the TV, the Internet and magazines. I would almost bet that the merchandising for the duck hunting industry has seen in increase it sales too due to the show.
