Cultural appropriation in pop culture allows for cultures to be spread and ultimately accepted by a wide variety of people. Once an audience sees someone they follow do something, they will likely accept it and try the same things; people in the media pave the way for everyone else and can start a movement. Putting cultures in separate groups and not allowing for certain
Cans, a current pop song, or a symphony by Beethoven, a piece of literature authored by Emily Brontë, or one by the Kardashians? Due to its objectivity, art is all encompassing: It can be anything created, written, performed, or photographed within which someone finds beauty.

A visually engulfing and diverse piece, Joe Tilson’s Nine Elements uses a wooden relief with acrylic, pearl and candy paint, to represent those elements that make up mass media pop culture. Tilson uses defined iconography that visually absorbs the viewer through its differentiation within the symmetrically structured borders of the wooden relief.

Clueless I. My audience for my research paper is people attending a pop culture conference. The movie Clueless is based on ‘90’s pop culture, even though the movie is based on Jane Austen’s Emma which is over a century old.

In essence, “we are what we consume.” The more audiences watched African Americans playing roles such as servants and buffoons, the more society began to see these roles as a reflection of the kinds of characteristics they possessed in reality. Pop culture, as such, is an expression of a communities shared experiences. Pop culture influences how people follow the general view of society. Such is apparent even in today’s
Pop Culture in 1960's and 1990's In comparing the sixties and the nineties, my first thought was how much popular culture has changed since then and how different society is today. The strange thing is, the more I tried to differentiate between them, the more similarities I found. Both the sixties and the nineties were about youth, creativity, free-thinking, and expression.

Establishing a popular culture or becoming a celebrity has been a desire of many. The rewards in this life are the admiration and esteem of others, and the punishments in this life are contempt and neglect.

In “Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception”, Adorno and Horkheimer argue that all forms of popular culture are designed to satisfy the rising needs of mass
