...Popular American Culture Paper Marie Loggia-Kee SOC/105 July 18, 2011 University of Phoenix Popular American Culture Paper When we talk about American Pop Culture, we are talking about society today, and how it has made a difference from the past. Culture is defined appreciating good music, food, and art. We see culture in our everyday lives; we eat, breathe, and speak culture in our homes. People become used to what is consider the new style. In our modern world, others refuse to participate. American Pop Culture is defined as culture that refers to the knowledge and customs of a specific group during a specific period of time, and simultaneously reflects and influences behaviors (Petracca & Sorapure, 2007). With the media changing through the years, our social habits have changed drastically for some, and not for others. For example I used to write letters to my family overseas, and now we email each other or use Facebook to keep in touch with all the updates within our family. Technology has gotten better throughout the years. With new technologies, everyone wants to be involved with in. Another great example of new technology is researching. We used to go to libraries to research on a book, product, or person. Now we are able to do it online in the comfort of our own homes. We also get to shop online which is another great example of pop culture. American pop culture has influenced our lives in many ways, like fashion for instance. Some of us like the new trend...

...YouTube. This makes it the most viewed song in the history of k-pop. Since the release of his single on 15 July this year the song has become a global success. With Psy reaching the number 2 spot on the American Billboard charts and number 1 on the Chinese music charts. This success did not go unnoticed in America and Psy has signed a record deal with Universal Republic Records for the release of his album in America. For some this success looks like it came out of nowhere, but those who have been following the k-pop scene know that this is something that would have happened sooner or later. K-pop has been on the rise for many years. Not only in South Korea or in Asia, but in parts of South America, Africa, the Middle East, the United States and Europe. When zooming in on this international success of k-pop, we can see that there is a Korean wave (or hallyu in Korean language) going on. This Korean wave does not only include music, but also movies and TV dramas. Especially in Asia the demand for Korean cultural products has grown so big that it can rival with Japanese and Western culture. Those had been the main source for music, movies and television in Asia until hallyu. The success of Psy in America shows that the Korean wave is still expanding and getting more recognition worldwide. This paper will look into the Korean wave. What is the Korean wave? And how do policymakers, the media and the culture industry think about hallyu? What are the differences in how they...

...Popular Culture Becomes Global Popular culture didn't require satellite television and the Internet to become global. When the first explorers took to the seas or traveled overland routes to distant places, they were influenced by, and returned with, examples of other cultures' popular art, artifacts and customs, such as drinking coffee. If that hadn't caught on, Starbucks would be stuck trying to sell cups of hot, frothy milk for three bucks a pop. The masses were usually not the first to experience exotic forms of popular culture, but they were exposed to them over time. The mixture of popular elements of different cultures was also one of the factors that began to blur the lines between popular and fine arts. While Kabuki Theater was accessible to all classes of Japanese people, Europe's aristocrats initially regarded it as high art. The Age of Industrialization: Relax, Enjoy In the case of popular arts especially (theater, dance, music and more recently movies and television), the masses must have sufficient time and resources to enjoy these arts. Technology is the catalyst that made this possible. Even though many 19th-century industrial laborers worked long hours, they did not generally work the dawn-to-dusk, seven-day-a-week schedules of agrarian toilers—cows need milking even on the Sabbath—and industrial laborers had more money in their pockets. This enabled them to enjoy entertainment venues and engage in hobbies, crafts and recreation outside their work lives....

March 15, 2013 Chapter One “It’s not just anime! It’s a way of life!” Introduction The real meaning of “Otaku” had a small debate when the US coined it as a term for people who are obsessed with the Japanese culture, with also a considerably large amount of love for anime and manga. However, the real meaning of the word “Otaku” could be viewed as negative for a typical Japanese person because “Otaku” literally means “Social Recluse” (Also note, it is synonymous to “Hikikomori”) specifically speaking, when one speaks of “Otaku Culture”, one’s head would immediately pop out the word “geek” or “nerd”. The culture mainly speaks about Japanese traditions, pop culture, anime, and manga. (Wikipedia, Retrieved 2013) Otaku culture originated from Akihabara, a district of Tokyo where it mostly sells electronic goods as well as a famous hangout for otaku individuals. Originally, “Otaku” during the old times meant “house” or “family” while giving an emphasis on respect when used as a second-person pronoun. However, as modern Japanese slang continued to grow in the busy streets of Tokyo when fans of well known anime titles such as Neon Genesis...

...In the article "This Way for Vampires: Teaching First-Year Composition in 'Challenging Times.'" by Sandie Friedman, she argues whether popular culture and current events should be taught in first-year writing classes. Friedman receives the support from several other professors that agree with the same claim. Based on the article, Friedman believes that vampires offer just as much learning material as an informational textbook. With that being said, I agree with Friedman; teaching popular culture should be taught in first-year writing classes. There should be topics more than writing and grammar taught in first-year writing classes. Many students struggle with paying attention to things that do not interest them. Friedman states in her article...

This is in the broad musical spectrum, of music in Turkey. Popular music because of the fact that, primitive music could not be related to either the traditional ottoman music or from the western form of music. Popular music were sung by chiefly the non-Muslim women. In the 1960s, there was fusions of the pop music and the Ottoman psyche which was particularly common in Turkey. In the 1970s, Sezen Aksu a female song writer and singer became popular and changed the scene of the music scene (Richard, T. 1999). In the 1990 pop music began to find its true meaning, this is because, it is not merely a type of music as it may be considered, but as a culture, it became part of everyday city-life that cannot be separated with the lifestyle and sentiments of city life. During the Ozall administration, in the 1980s, the free market economy which became a state policy, brought new acceleration to the Turkish music industry.

...one person and absolutely of no importance to another one. But of course, this does not mean that social problems should be interpreted and analyzed subjectively. Even vice versa, the analyst should forget his or her personal views of the problem so, that to ensure its objective analysis. Consequently, social problems should be considered with the help of the strong pieces of evidence. There are small and large social problems and in this paper one of the largest ones will be addressed. Problem The topic of my proposal is the joining of generations in all its aspects. To put it in other words, this paper will suggest a program of the solution of a social problem of lack of understanding and a huge gap that exists between the older adults and children. The problem has always been important in the human society, and nowadays it acquires special significance due to the outside factors that influence the thinking of both social groups more frequently. Among these factors, the following ones can be singled out as the modern culture affecting children and changing their views and values; proper upbringing that keeps the older adults people from adjusting to the modern values; and the time and world outlook gape which prevents both generations from understanding each other. As can be clearly seen, there is a need to consider all these factors in order to understand the problem and...

... In recent year, the Korean wave has been significantly popular among Asian countries such as China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia. Korean wave is usually called Hallyu which “is a neologism referring to the increase in the popularity of South Korean culture since late 1990s” (Korean wave, n.d.). This Hallyu trend not only gains popularity in Asian countries like Vietnam, Japan, China and Thailand but also spreads to South America and Europe (tuoitrenews, 2012). Vietnam is not an exception of this trend. The Doi Moi in 1986, which gave a motivation of media exchange, is the leverage for Korean Wave to come to Vietnam. However until the late 1990s and soon 2000s, the Korean wave has started pervaded into Vietnam through some dramas such as: Autumn Fairly Tale," "Winter Sonata" and "Daejanggeum (Huong Dang, 2009). At that time, the Korean film had gradually altered the Chinese films. The Hallyu wave has strongly in infiltrated in recent years via the music from Korean idol. The K-Pop has influenced much to the young generation, which creates a huge impact on Vietnam. Although Korean wave affects variety aspects, this paper will partly analyze the effects of Hallyu on a fraction of Vietnamese’s culture. The domain that will be focused is the influences of Hallyu wave to the young generation of Vietnam. II. Researching: It is easy to see that Korea dramas are dominating the airtime on television channel, from the North to the South. Everyday at least two...

...Wikipedia started as Nupedia in 2000 and became Wikipedia in January 2001. Wikipedia is known as the free, user complied, open edited encyclopedia written by people who have not done extensive research on a subject. As Wikipedia has become more and more popular with students, some professors have become increasingly concerned about the online reader produced encyclopedia. Plenty of professors have complained about the lack of accuracy or completeness of entries and some have discouraged or tried to ban students from using it. Wikipedia has been the subject of considerable debate for some time now. Several people think the site is not quotable, while others argue that it is. Many teachers do not accept Wikipedia pages as a source of information because any one can add or remove information from such pages. Also, this online encyclopedia does not always cite sources for its articles. Plus it is difficult to find the credentials of the authors. A huge part of credibility is attributed to a sources currency, indicating how recent a certain source has been updated. Wikipedia’s credibility lies within its immediate opportunity to alter, and update a specific topic. One may argue the fact that almost anyone can be an editor of this reference site, which allows opportunity to diminish the validity of certain information. However, once an editor posts information on a topic, the information is examined and removed or edited. With thousands of pages being edited daily, how is it possible...
