Popular Culture Blog



Popular culture is a trend or trends specific to a group of people who have something in common. It is important to me because it influences multiple facets of my life. Therefore, I must be aware of its existence and how it influences my behavior and actions and the behavior and actions around me.

An understanding of popular culture is relevant to me in a business environment because it greatly affects my ability to work with people and effectively market consumer products. As a recruiter, I must be cognizant of popular culture in order to enhance interpersonal relationships within my community and to identify the best methods to reach my desired audience.

I would consider Quick Response (QR) codes to be an example of a popular culture artifact. I would choose it because it is a relatively new trend that is specific to this era of technology innovativeness.
