                                                Is Pop Culture Good For You?


Pop Culture is surrounded by everyone in this society. From watching TV, movies or magazines and social media. Pop culture has had a great impact on people, it's very trending because it has opened up different businesses and made people money. However, pop culture does have a negative side to it, it has expose people of all ages to violence, drugs and sex on social media. Its main issue is how modern Tv enlightens the audience and how the use of social media when it comes to political movements such as BLM or injustice all over the world. Of course, it's something that we can't censor so we have to accept it. Pop culture is another thing we have to learn in life, it can have young kids learn about what's happening in the world or have them come up with creative ideas, so yes, pop culture is good for you. 


Pop culture has different meanings, it can be distinguished from folks and high culture. Folk culture is very similar to pop culture because of the mass participation involved. However, folk culture represents the traditional way of doing things. It represents a simpler lifestyle, in short, it offers stability, whereas pop culture looks for something fresh and new. Most of folk culture doesn't have anything to do with social media such as Turkish rugs, Mexican blankets and Irish fairy talks. It’s safe to say that folk culture is old-fashioned.

He searched for ways to fill the hole in his heart since he grew up without a father in the home, in places where he probably shouldn’t. The author is aware that he made some tremendous mistakes along the way, but he is very grateful to have had the freedom to redeem himself and made a point to mention, “ When we’re young, it sometimes seems as if the world doesn’t exist outside our city, our block, our house, our room. We make decisions based on what we see in that limited world and follow the only models available.” I agree with this statement because our childhood gives us our baseline values and beliefs, these are the

Are We Products Of Our Environment Or Products Of Our Expectations?

 McKayla Dudley  LTED2051817 Contemporary Literacies Spring   4/6/2022                      Are We Products of Our Environment or Products of Our Expectations?  I do believe that we are the products of our environment but more so, it's almost like we're victims of it too. Of course, not all of us are victims but those that can say that there are no rules that say being a product of your environment must be bad or negative. While the expectations society lays on us may influence our choices, we are ultimately still in charge of our actions. For example, if society wants us to get a car, we'll get a car, if we want a house, we'll get a house.

In personal experience, when it came time to start applying for colleges, everyone including my friends was telling me to go
