The Most Important Concept

To me the most important concept learned was the popular culture is all around us. We see and consume popular culture in our every day lives even if we do not notice it. Before coming into this class I did not even know what popular culture was. I would watch tv, listen to music, and go to sporting events not knowing that I was consuming what is called popular culture. After the first week of class I started to notice all of the types of popular culture that is around me including music, television, movies, and sports. I really took this concept beyond the classroom and into my every day life which I do not do with other classes. Learning about types of popular culture has given me and insight to things that I have not noticed before but learning about popular culture as a whole has had the biggest impact on me personally. I will take this concept with me for the rest of my life and notice that every form of popular culture has a deeper meaning than just providing simple entertainment.
