A. Soaps have a lot of cultural diversity. The problem is that most Asian cultures tend to stay within their own communities. This makes it difficult for them to assimilate within the mainstream population. West Indians are now very much part of British society, TV, Sports, Music etc. Africans are still quite culturally separate. If you have third generation immigrants from the sub-continent who still cannot speak English, expecting the rest of the population to understand them and their culture is going to be nigh impossible.

A. Sex: Its seen as something fun to do...there is so much pressure on both sexes to have sex that if you are a virgin by the age of 17 then you are supposed to feel bad about it. Some people see sex as a way to party, make friends, get to know people...the list goes on. Drugs: help take our mind off things...we teenagers have to feel rebelious so we go get high with our friends...it feels great, its easy, sometimes its free, and weed is the most common, its easy to get, and it makes everything feel easier, feel better..etc Money: makes the world go round, it is nonphysical power that can be used in any situation if you have enough. Guns: as little kids guys r taught that guns are fun, we play army man on the playground, buy toy guns… [cont.]

A. I've been thinking about that in terms of music... I get the feeling pop music has sort of "stopped" a few years ago... I noticed I haven't listened to any new song and liked it for a while, but maybe that's just me growing old xD as for the rest, well, I don't know, with phases it's always difficult to draw boundaries, usually that's done later, by people looking back.

In what ways can popular culture such as Hip Hop be subversive?
Q. I am studying popular cultures as well as a larger focus on the hip hop movement and I am interested into understanding your views on this question. Thanks. :)
Asked by SSS - Sat Apr 24 13:32:20 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In most cases, hiphop glamorizes violence, and lack of family structure. While hiphop does speak the truth about how many people in America are forced to live---in poverty and/or with a single mother and/or in a gang--it has been twisted so that the message is less about "trying to get out of that sort of life" and more about "my credibility has been increased because i am living this kind of life". It gives a false sense of "badassness", where you can have scores of babies with multiple baby mamas, anyone can make millions of dollars by busting rhymes, and life is a kill or be killed. While some people live this life on a daily basis, you also see people who AREN'T living that life trying to emulate this message (ex. rich suburban kids… [cont.]

Q. How would you describe popular culture vs art?
Asked by jay - Wed Apr 28 00:54:08 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. This question takes some thought and I hope I give you an answer along the lines of what you are looking for because I'm not sure. Popular culture has become so... popular. Very little creativity or uniqueness these days. Like everything is just a copy. Seems like many strive to be that "perfect person". The person who is highly fashionable and says the right things. A rich person and a person with many boundaries. Art is a complete opposite. Art has no boundaries. You can express any feeling or personality through the tool of art. It can be so unique. So simple or so crazy. People's opinions on art differ greatly. I may like art that is in a style completely different from you. However many agree on what they like about popular culture.

Q. (the Godfather, Tony Soprano, Goodfellas, Casino, rap music, Tony Montana, John Gotti etc. the list could go on).

A. 1. Music - Did rock and roll help cause the generation gap, or did it just point out another area where there already was a gap? 2. Movies - Did movies like The Wild One and Rebel Without A Cause reflect life in mainstream America, or was it just Hollywood's view? 3. TV - Were TV families in the 1950's realistic? Questions like these may get some discussion started. You don't say what age group you are in. I don't know if you are of an age to be discussing the impact of magazines like Playboy on censorship, or of comedians like Lenny Bruce and their impact on censorship. I don't know the age limit here. But those are a couple of other ideas. The website I have posted has a lot of information on pop culture. You could surf that… [cont.]
