Assignment 1-2

Popular Culture is the ideas, prospective, and attitudes I perceive from watching the television, reading in the newspapers or magazines, and browsing on the internet. Popular Culture is something that happens or occurs every day or second in my culture. It doesn’t matter what I buy because there is someone else out there that wants the same item or the best on the market. I read about Pop Culture in the newspaper or hear about it on the television. I even run across it when I am browsing on the internet. No matter where I go, Popular Culture will always be around me until the day I die.

Popular Culture is relevant to me in a business environment because I had or will work with another individual who is from a completely different culture. Their culture may be different than mine but it doesn’t necessarily mean that they won’t like the same thing that I do in my culture. During my life whether it’s the present or later on in the future, I will meet many different people who live differently than I do or who will like the same thing I do in my culture. I work with many other women now that originate from Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Japan, that listen to music in their countries and speak very little English but they try too.

I would consider being an example of a pop culture artifact is a television show I watch every Tuesday, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. The show is based on molestation, child abuse, rapists, and murder. When I watch the show, it makes me wonder why people do the things they do to other innocent people. I have also seen Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Law & Order, but it not as nearly as interesting as Law & Order: SVU because their shows are based on criminals, or murderers but have nothing to do with child abuse or molestation. I read in the newspapers every now and then about what some of their parents do to their kids and it is kind of sad or upsetting. Overall, I think Law & Order: SVU is one of the best shows out there because it shows me everything I need if I was a rape or molested victim. What steps I will need to take to solve this kind of crime.
