Pop Culture

When I was in China, I used to listen to CDs. However, when I came to the United States, I found that listening to mp3 was much popular than listening to CDs. When I was in train, I always saw people listen to their mp3s. After that, I realized that Apple brand was the most popular one. For this reason, I bought one iPod, and it was so convenient. As time went by, I found that Apple product was not only fancy but also quality. And today, I am still in interested in Apple like a lot of people are.

After taking this class, I realized that pop culture plays an important role in people’s daily lives. Although some people prefer high culture to high culture, I still think that people should pay their attention to pop culture more or less because it can make people know more about this society. It is not only good for native residents but also for new immigrants. For example, when I just came here, I don’t know anything about this country. However, as time went by, I watched American TV, read magazines, and visit famous places. For this reason, I began to know more about American people’s lifestyles gradually. As a result, I believe studying popular culture is a good way for new immigrants to know more about America.
