Pop Culture

 

For anthropologists culture includes everything that occurs in a society – all the customs and practices handed down from generation to generation. Culture covers the various forces that contribute to our behaviour in society. These contributions usually come from our formal institutions, such as churches, the state, and now, the media; standards of behaviour; laws and conventional practices and customs.

Popular culture can be defined as the culture of everyone in a society. It can be so pervasive that we seldom notice it. In order for us to notice it, we must step back and consciously observe it. We can do it by really looking around us at the objects in our society and asking ourselves why we idolize the things we do, why we buy the things we do, and why we believe in the things we do.

Throughout the history, every society has had its own popular culture. Most of today’s popular culture is mass-produced and is disseminated in large quantities through the mass media. Popular music, cheap paperback novels, soap operas, videocassette movies and millions of advertised products from designer jeans to disposable razors make up our everyday environment. Stephen King novels, Levi’s jeans and the golden arches of McDonald’s are instantly recognizable symbols in our modern-day pop culture.

Another term that has developed is mass culture. It refers to the things in our culture that are mass-produced and/or shared through the mass media. In today’s society that represents almost everything in our popular culture. That is why the terms popular culture and mass culture are used almost interchangeably.

Pop culture used to be looked down upon by many academics who felt that the study of everyday culture was not appropriate in a university setting where students examined Western civilization, philosophy and the sciences. Supporters of the study of popular culture point out that it is a part of our history and holds as much relevance as war, slavery and revolutions. They note that by examining the themes and styles of a culture we can better understand the values of people.
