Hello and welcome to my spot... So what is popular culture? Pop Culture is a mix of tastes, customs, beliefs and attitudes that define the people of a society. More simply put, it's a culture that comes from "the people". Pop Culture is what keeps us glued to the magazines, tv sets and many different forums online. Pop Culture is what most of the time my friends and I sit around discussing..."Did you see that fight between Nene and Kim?!" Although we don't personally know these people we share our lives with them every week and through our conversations you would think they were our BFFs!
I believe that by taking this Pop Culture class I can learn more about what makes our society click..maybe learn why we as a people can become obsessed and attached to people and things that really don't affect us at all. I know that I'm guilty just as most of my peers are.
Since I am pursuing a career in health science I really don't see pop culture having much bearing on my career or my course of study besides this class, but I do know that pop culture has and probably always will have a place in my heart......

When you say that you are "guilty" of obsessing over popular culture items, do you really feel that this is something you should feel badly about? Does engaging in popular culture pursuits somehow reveal a weakness or fault in a person?
