Is pop culture good for you

 
 






I enjoy this week's readings' and videos' about pop culture. Pop culture can be both beneficial and harmful, depending on how it's consumed and the context. The good benefits that can come from pop culture is connection and social bonding pop culture can bring people together. Shared interests in music, movies, TV shows, or viral trends help create common ground for social interactions. Fictional characters such as Darth vader, Indiana jones, batman,spiderman, and iron man or even Literary characters such as Harry potter. 

Pop culture is a creative inspiration it often sparks creativity, influencing art, fashion, and even new ideas. Many artist and creators draw inspiration from trends in pop culture. Pop culture provides a form of entertainment and escapism, helping people unwind from daily stresses. Pop culture can also have some drawbacks such as  conformity pressure there can be pressure to keep up with trend, which might lead to feelings of inadequacy or anxiety. I believe pop itself isn't inherently good or bad, but it's how we engage with it that determines its impact. I believe if it was not for many people all over the world pop culture would not exist, people are pop culture so pop culture will not die but us as people can make sure pop culture is a good influence on others and have a great impact on the world. I had fun with pop culture week learning about pop culture and seeing everyone as a group outlooks' on pop culture is a special moment to do it together because i believe that's what pop culture is all about.

    You share a good point about HOW we consume and interface with pop culture as what could be seen as positive or negative influence on us. Your examples, both written and graphic are great! An interesting 2 min, video about 'what is pop culture.'
    Thanks,

    👀😱😰 BE MINDFUL OF YOUR/CHILDREN HEALTH ! I enjoyed this weeks, is Fast Food The New Tobacco has been an eye opener and a reminder.  Watching  the videos' and reading the articles' , especially Michelle Obama  speech was very inspiring i really enjoyed it. Michelle Obama help me to remember my childhood and how things were different back then versus now.

I was apart of all types of sports and parades.  I was a very active child  My childhood was very different compared to  children being raised today.

The other Wes Moore

  The other Wes Moore needed to tell his mother that he got Alicia pregnant. Have you ever had to give someone news that you knew would break their heart? How did you build up the courage? The Hardest Truth I've Ever had to Share There are moments in life that shape who you are forever. For me, one of those moments came when I was just 14 years old. I was in eighth grade, preparing to graduate and step into high school. But instead of celebrating that milestone, I had to face something I never imagined: I was pregnant. It was terrifying. I was still a child myself, and I had to build up the courage to tell the people who loved me most- knowing it would break their hearts. The person I told was my grandmother. I had no choice. She's the only one who's always known me better than I know myself. I was so scared, but I also knew that if anyone could love me through this, it was her. Telling her was one of the hardest things I've ever done, but I'm so grateful I did. Her...

Are We Really Only Products of Our Environment? The idea that we are products of our environment is widely accepted. After all, the people, places, and circumstances surrounding us have a profound impact on our behavior, decisions, and even our identities. But is that all we are—simply reflections of the environments we grew up in? I don’t believe it’s that simple. While our surroundings undeniably shape us, I believe that we also have the power to rise above them, to rewrite our stories, and to create futures that are not dictated by the past. I had my first child at a young age, a defining moment that could have easily set the course for a life dictated by the very environment I came from. Growing up, I was raised by my grandparents, who loved me unconditionally and gave me a sense of security. However, my parents were not present in my life, and that absence left me with a deep desire to be different when it came to raising my own children. I watched as many of my peers, also teenag...
