Popular
Culture can have many different meanings to many different people.
Every single person has their own definition of popular culture.
According the Webster dictionary, popular culture is defined as the
types of entertainment that most people in a society enjoy, examples,
films, television programs, and pop music. Whatever way you define it, popular culture
is the what people are entertained with for the time being. Popular
culture has several meanings to myself as well. First, popular
culture lets me know what clothes, shoes, and hairstyles are the
latest trend. Secondly, popular culture keeps me updated on the
newest technology. Last, but certainly not the least, popular culture
has given me the most interesting television shows, music, and movies
that I could ask for.
The
understanding of popular culture is relevant to myself in a business
environment and in my present and future career. Knowing the newest
technology helps myself get my work become more consistent,
professional, and organized. Also, knowing the latest trends and
watching the hit televisions and movies helps me have conversations
with other employees. In my future career I hope to be a Human
Resources representative. Popular culture is going to benefit me with
knowing what interests employees . Knowing what employees enjoy will
help me communicate with them.By knowing the current popular culture
I will know how people will react to certain subjects which will
benefit how I address topics.
I
consider the HBO television show, True Blood, to be a popular culture
artifact. I choose True Blood because it has everything that
interests people in today's world. True Blood has romance, thrill,
sex, violence, deviance, and lush. All of those things is what
interest people so when you put them all together of course people
will love it. True Blood stars vampires. Vampires are one of the
latest hit characters in the 21st century. Among all other
supernatural characters, such as, fairies, werewolves, shifters, and
witches, vampires catches people attend because they can do things
that humans cannot. People thrive over things they cannot have, so
therefore, being able to live forever, have amazing sex, and look
like God's most beautiful gift on earth, like vampires, it entertains
people. True Blood has a pretty blonde that every guy finds
attracted, a well-mannered handsome hero, a sexy villain, and a crazy
town where everything and anything happens. There is always a
conflict, struggle, and romance that makes you beg for more. True
blood excites people.
