Popular culture came from different
forms of cultures, which are based on how they please our taste and how they
show our lifestyle through various ideas, behaviors, customs, and believes. In
simple words, pop culture is everything that surrounds us in what we are
exposed on daily basis. Pop culture means to me because it shows updated style
of various types as technology, internet, music, art, brands and many other
trends in our society.
Pop culture is relevant in business
environment because it defines today's world, which updates ideas and
perspectives. For me it's really important to stay updated because nowadays
technology is progressing very fast, and for my job at information services I
need to stay updated and informed. Therefore I tend to follow progress of
technology and information through various types of internet sites in order to
respond on customer’s expectations. In my future career popular culture
can help me to build my knowledge to understand new digitalized era which I can
use for my future job in human resources field.
Good example of pop culture artifact
is super popular TV show “Friends” which was very popular in period from year
1994 till 2004. This TV show has 10 seasons of 24 episodes of each season. It
is a remarkable comedy which shows young people living together and where
friendship means everything. Each actor from the show has different character
which represents them as individuals with interesting profiles. This TV show I
watched 4 times, and each time I felt excited to watch like it was the first
time watching it. So in my opinion TV show “Friends” is one of the most popular
sitcoms of all time which is also great example of popular culture artifact.

I feel that friends is a great example of pop culture. I watched that show and there are still funny parts I reference. I have noticed lately there are funny pictures that reference the show popping up on Facebook. I agree that technology is constantly changing and very popular. Great job on your blog.
