Popular Culture

Popular Culuture- The shared knowledge and practices of a specific group at a specific time. Because of it's commonality, pop culture both reflects and influences peoples way of life, because it is linked to a specific time and place, pop culture is transitory, subject to change and often an initiator of change.

Popular culture means to me stuff from your childhood either media, television, art, or music plays a vital role and can change how people growup or act in the future.

Popular culture is relevant in my business environment because with the military, many things change for example presidents, uniforms, different paperwork and even squad leaders. The main focus is that we must use the past pop culture to expand and help ourself and the soldiers under us accomplish the mission.

I would choose the simpsons because they are a popular television show from the late 80's that always had a show on the leading topics and make humor of some sort to that topic so kids can understand and parents especially adults can get a laugh and help to better tell the kids the basic of what they just seen and why.

What a great pick! I can remember watching the Simpsons all the time during my youth. I wasn't fond of the show but, my brother loved it! The saying "doh" is the one thing that sticks in my mind. And Homer drinking "Duff beer."

Does this show still run new episodes?

Thanks for sharing!
