Pop
culture and I
Popular
culture is culture that influencing the people because it’s popularity and it
is usually constantly changing. It is connected with something which we need or
we want in our daily lives. Quotes by Dr. Ray Browne about popular culture, he
said that "Popular culture is the everyday culture of a group, large or
small, of people. Popular culture includes all aspects of our daily lives. Popular
culture is the voice of the people - their practices, likes and dislikes the
lifeblood of their daily existence". (http://blog.shrub.com/ understanding-popular-culture)
Food, sport, fashion, movie and
music are some aspects of the popular culture. They make the people influencing
and some of the people must follow the trend of that, because the aspects are
include in human’s everyday lives. I think popular culture has not only
influenced the people in a country, but also in the world, and me too, because
popular culture develops from a local culture to a global culture. The people
are influenced the popular culture by television, radio, internet, magazine,
newspaper and other mass media. We can find the television, internet or
magazine everywhere, these things are also part of popular culture which must
we have and make the most effect to people. Merriam Webster said that
“The population is bombarded with popular culture by television, radio,
advertisement, internet and every other imaginable form to help us determine
our views of popular culture. Media defines Popular culture (or pop culture),
what the trends are, what people should be wearing, what they should be
listening to, how they should act, and what they should look like.
(Merriam-Webster, 2007:

One of the mass media which made the
most effect to me is television, and one of aspects of popular culture which
influenced me is sport, exactly football. From television I could watch my
favorite football club played, it is Arsenal. Because I like Arsenal, I must
buy and collect the costume or the jersey of the team or something which
connected with Arsenal, and of course I must always watch the match. Besides
television, internet also makes me influenced. From internet I can collect the
pictures or the photos of the players. I
also can know news about Arsenal, know in where position Arsenal standings in
English premier League. But, beside that I do not like playing football very much;
I just like watching the match.
Talking about food in popular
culture, it is not only something we eat, it is also about lifestyle. Some
people may be following the trend; they must eat at restaurant or eat foreign
food. Because some people think that what or where they eat shows who they are,
but I do not think so. It is not important what or where we must eat, but what is
the effect of food we eat is very important.
Fashion also makes a big influence
to people. It related with the heroes or idol. Some people must follow the
trend of fashion. They influenced from the heroes, what
the trends are, what should be wearing, how they should act, and what they
should look like. But, for me comfortable and available is more important.
