"The
Function of Popular Culture in Society." Web log post. Theory of
the Phil. Ed. The Phil. WordPress, 28 Apr. 2011. Web. 19 Feb. 2014. This post is talking about pop cultures importance in society by explaining all of
the roles it plays and giving examples of them. Social norms, boundaries in society, rituals created
by pop culture, and innovation and social change are discussed as
positive things about pop culture which is promoted by social media and
the like. Pop culture is a huge driving force behind many social changes
in society as well as innovations in technology. One of the main
examples given for this is the internet, more specifically streaming
videos and broadband. It does talk about a how internet porn helped push those things along but also recognizes that porn probably hasn't helped the advancement of society, but was a driving force. The Phil makes this relate-able straight
away by talking about Ke$ha, Lady Gaga and discussing how you can find
pop culture anywhere you look.
