Popular culture (or pop culture) can be deemed as what is popular within the social context - that of which is most strongly represented by what is perceived to be popularly accepted among society. Otherwise, popular culture is also suggested to be the widespread cultural elements in any given society that are perpetuated through that society's vernacular language or lingua franca. It comprises the daily interactions, needs and desires and cultural 'moments' that make up the everyday lives of the mainstream. It can include any number of practices, including those pertaining to cooking, clothing, consumption, mass media and the many facets of entertainment such as sports and literature. (Compare meme.) Popular culture often contrasts with a more exclusive, even elitist "high culture," that is, the culture of ruling social groups.The earliest use of "popular" in English was during the fifteenth century in law and politics, meaning "low", "base", "vulgar", and "of the common people" till the late eighteenth century by which time it began to mean "widespread" and gain in positive connotation. (Williams 1985)
Pop culture finds its expression in the mass circulation of items from areas such as fashion, music, sport and film. The world of pop culture has had a particular influence on art from the early 1960s on, through Pop Art. When modern pop culture began during the early 1950s, it made it harder for adults to participate. Today, most adults, their kids and grandchildren "participate" in pop culture directly or indirectly.
Popular Culture to me means consists the constant change of fashion, beverages, vehicles, homes, appliance, electronics, games consoles, and music(i.e. 8-track, vinyl records, cassettes, Cd's, mp3 players, & I-Pods).
Understanding popular cultural in the business society is important because technology is constantly changing. for instance there was a time when the only way you could receive a message was by us postal mail or by phone. Now we have elerontronic mail which you can receive within the matter of seconds and you never have to talk to someone over a phone. you also have ways of sending important documents electronicly as well as signing them. These are just a few reasons why it is so important to keep up with it now and for future careers.
