Question

700 word essay on pop culture

Answer 1

Explanation:

Popular culture is often taken from culture, diluted and then distributed to the masses for personal gain.

Sub cultures are created to help a group of people who feel left out from society, find there place. When looking at sub cultures, they are often associated with the youth of society. It could be argued that sub cultures are made possible because the youth within society have much more leisure time. (Lifestyle) The reason for this is said to be because of the generation gap.

Some sub cultures create a moral panic because it challenges the norm and goes against how the people should think and what they should be doing. In doing so they create there ideology according to how they feel about society which is often opposed to the elite. If this is the case then it suggests a political dimension to what popular culture is so therefore it is not just about leisure or entertainment.

Answer 2

Part One I believe that as a culture, our beliefs and values are reflected through various aspects of our everyday lives. During its time, pop art really exposed American culture. The pop art movement gained its prominence in the United States during the 1960’s.

The pop art movement came after the abstract expressionist movement and first emerged in Great Britain during the late 1950’s but blew up in the United States. Like I already stated, I believe that in our society our overall beliefs and values are reflected through various aspects of our everyday lives.

I believe that pop art and the pop art movement is a great example of this because artists used popular images and everyday things to illustrate our culture. Pop art wasn’t something an everyday person with no artistic background would find hard to interpret because the image was something the person was familiar with. I think the pop art movement took place because its artists wanted to show that they could illustrate the mass culture using popular imagery and to show that these images were also art forms in their own way. Popular imagery are things like advertisements, comic books, labels, logos and everyday objects that we see and use everyday.
