There are many things that fall under the category pop culture. Everybody has different ideas and views on the different styles of clothing, the music they listen to, and how their hair looks there are so many different things that we look for.
I think that it is right to be in style. Alot of women spend way too much time trying to figure what is in and what is out. My teacher asked us the question, "Are women influenced by society wi th what they wear or how they are supposed to look?" Most of us had the same answer, "Yes!" This really got me thinking about how are women actually influenced by society. and thinking about it I realized yes, we are affected so much abut how we need to wear a certain thing, we need to be a certain weight the makeup we wear needs to look a certain way. We are told that there is only one way to do these things.
Our teacher told us a story about how she just stopped cutting her hair and stopped shaving and just changed everything to prove to people she didn't care about how she looked. She said it was an experiment and she said that people did treat her differently because of the way she looked. At first I was completely disgusted, but really it was a good point and it showed how much people worry about the way that they look. I think the reason that I was so disgusted was because she said she didn't shave for like eight years that just really grossed me out. It showed me though that, that is something I would never be able to do I would be to worried about what people were thinking about me. Which I know is not good.
Music was something I never paid much attention to, but now that I got my ipod I have found myself listening to alot more music. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I really enjoy doing that and I wouldn't want to give that up.
For me pop culture involves so many things, some I agree with and others I don't. I have my opinions just as other people have theirs.

ReplyDeleteI think that you have a really good point. I would think the same thing if i didn't shave. I don't like wanting to know what people think about me but its a hard habit to break. I really agree with the points in your post.

ReplyDeletehey Janessie!! :) Good post, I totally agree with everything you said too, and thats the same with me about music... every since I've had an ipod I listen to music more and more. Haha and I was a little grossed out to lol but I would never be able to do that either, but I really give Mrs. Stronach credit for trying a experiment like that. But anyways good post!
