Popular Culture

After going over the readings of popular culture, it is said in the last section of the reading that "the term 'popular culture' is not as definitionally obvious as we might have first thought". I feel this quote is saying that what our minds may think the words means is not what we may place in a category. When we see or hear popular culture, people would automatically think of a culture that is most known beyond all others. Which goes back to the term 'popular'. Popular is a term known as someone famous around school or a community. The term 'culture' is what we used to describe how different races of people interact with their own community. Popular Culture is known and liked by many people until people find something else to be known as popular. A piece of media that I can relate to popular culture would be a show that I watch called Finding Carter. Finding Carter is a show about a girl who was kidnapped as a baby and was reunited with her real parents after being noticed by police when she was arrested for violating restricted property. When the whole town found put she had returned she became the center of attention. Everyone loved her and she was the most popular everywhere she went. She had to adjust to the culture of her actual parents home because her kidnapper brainwashed her into believing that being naive and thinking the world is all green grass and bunnies was the most "popular" thing to do.
