Popular Culture


Popular culture can be defined as a way people carry out themselves which is similar with that of huge mass of people. In short, it is a lifestyle followed or adopted by majority of population. Culture to me is beliefs and thoughts being carried out by people. And I think it is heavily influenced by technology we are in.
 I think this sort of information about the culture being pursued by people must be taken into consideration while scanning a favorable business environment. It helps to explore the scope and the opportunities of specific business in the particular environment. Moreover, it gives insights about the potential customers of that specific business helping to pinpoint the target customer.
Personally, knowing about the culture beforehand would allow me to know the general environment while encountering it for the first time. At workplace, it would help me to minimize conflicts that are created due to misunderstanding about the culture now and in the future.
To represent a popular culture artifact I have chosen Pizza, the only dish which I think almost every people in this earth want to have it. This mouth watering dish, being available in every part of restaurant whether it be specialty or a simple restaurant around the world, has become people’s part of life. Our daily life has become so busy that we don’t think to spare time preparing food. We just ring our phone, order pizza and have it. I also tend to think of pizza when I am hungry. So, I think pizza has put a major impact on our daily lifestyle and thus can be regarded as one of the popular culture.
