Assignment 1-2


1. Popular culture is the situation in which people base their lives. I believe popular culture are all the new developments and fads in which we live our lives. If it was not for the new fashion ideas that come out every year then we would be stuck with the same fashion from the 80's to now. Even still men wearing the high and tight gym shorts and women wearing bulky turtle neck shirts. Not saying that every new fad and development that comes out is great, like the holes in pants, the half made shirts or even the logo's which appear on some of the clothing today; however, they are still changes in which make this country so great.

2. I believe popular culture effect in the work place, because of all the new developments that happen everyday in today society. I am currently an assistant manager at Wendy's and I know that without the new advertisments on TV, radio, and in newpaper and magazine articles then we would not be as popular of a food chain as say McDonald's. I am hoping after I graduate from Franklin Unversity that I will be able to get a job with a big company like JP Morgan, who is the sister branch to Chase Banks. Without the new development for free checking accounts and things in that nature that are being thought up everyday then JP Morgan would not be such a huge success, which they depend on to survive as a company.

3. A popular culture artifact that come to mind for me would be the old Wendy's commercials (Where's the Beef), which simbolized that all the other food chain would downsize there hamburgers and sell them for a quoted price, while Wendy's would give you the same price for a much bigger portion of meat.
