Popular Culture

Pop culture has had a certain amount of influence on the types of decisions that I have made throughout my life. I never was really the type of person to be into fashion and what was the current style going on at that time. By doing this I could see myself being labeled and judge because of my actions and also being added to a group of people who also see things the way I see them. In a way pop culture labels and categorizes people into particular groups that it feels that person belongs. While in school I didn’t hang with the certain groups because of how they acted and what they said. This was my choice not to because I didn’t like the fact that they were saying that material things could buy you friends. Pop culture played a part in this because that was the image given on television. I listen to songs that I like not the songs that I’m supposed to listen to because of the type of group that I’m in or associated with. My clothing does not look the same as what pop culture says it should and that’s because I have my own taste in what I like to wear whether it is part of the current fashion trend or not. I try not to let pop culture have that much influence on me and the decisions that I make in life because I have a different taste on the things that I want and what I do than what pop culture suggests.
