Assignment 1-2
I think pop culture is the sharing of information by a group of people. When I think of pop culture I think of something that is popular in music, celebrities, clothing, movies, etc. I think it's important to understand pop culture and how it influences people especially in the business environment. I know that at my work, we often talk about pop culture topics such as TV shows and I think it's important to be able to discuss these things. I chose Cosmopolitan magazine as my sample of a pop artifact. This magazine has information on celebrities, clothes, products, technology, etc. I know that by reading this on a regular basis, it's influenced me. I have often bought products that I've seen in the magazine or been influenced by an article in there.

I agree that Cosmo and other magazines like it have a lot to do with determining what the hottest trends in popular culture are. These magazines present images and behaviors that many women feel inclined to assimilate to. While this may not be a bad thing in all cases, it can have devastating effects on those that either can't afford the products portrayed, or that can't look like the models in the pictures.
