Pop culture is the social context of what is popular in America today. It also, means to me whatever I’m thinking about at the time. What I was taught to believe as a child and what I teach my children. Pop culture affects my attitude and my behavior and it’s the culture elements in today’s society. An understanding of pop culture is relevant to me in a business environment because it tells what is important in my life. For Instance, when you have a job and its business related I know to dress professional. I dress up and I continue to have a positive attitude about my surroundings. In making changes in my life I consider pop culture to be a part of this by creating different diversions of what I would do, and which I could use now or in the future. I consider pop culture being an artifact is icons as in phones, computers, cartoon character’s, or whatever you use to build your entertainment and other things. I consider my artifact to be a good example of popular culture because it plays music, videos, record, download music, and customize a lot of things for your entertainment.

Carolyn,
I agree with your idea that most of the accepted social context in society today is what defines popular culture. I do not think that I truly believe that an understanding of popular culture will necessary tell me, or lead me to know what is important in my life. Pop culture is a very diverse and sometimes complicated idea to grasp, once you think you know what is popular then time changes things and then so does what is considered popular. You do have excellent examples of what is currently considered pop culture, great job.
