Popular Culture And What Goes Into It
Today, many people now have the time and ability to be able to sit around and wonder about the direction and activities that go on in our popular culture today. For sure, the things that occur in various societies these days would probably make our grandparents blush at the thought of some of the things we get up to.
As an example, how many people living back in the 1940s would understand or even be able to use a computer as it is designed today? To them, the word 'computer' meant a machine in a huge room that cost many millions of dollars. They are completely normal to us and we even use what are called 'computer skins' to decorate them, though it's a sure bet that our grandparents would have no idea what the term meant.
And as far as our personal fitness or health -- or at least the activities we engage in to convince people we have a lot of health and fitness -- goes, how many people back then would look at us with a quizzical expression on their faces as we told them about all the work we were doing to get 6 pack abs? To them, a six-pack was something that was used to carry beer around in.
And when it comes to something like tattoos, which used to be things that many people equate it with Navy sailors, the idea that one can design own tattoo art and then have a body artist put it on their skin would generally be something that most people wouldn't have even been able to conceive of having done. Tattoos back then usually came out of Navy bases in San Diego or Norfolk, Virginia.
Popular culture these days is also continually available on a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and 365 days per year basis. In fact, even if we wanted to block it out of our lives, there's practically no way to do so, which just about any Amish or Mennonite adherent living somewhere in Ohio or Pennsylvania and riding in a horse drawn cart could tell you.
People like the Amish are forced to deal with popular culture and try to prevent it from trespassing on their own lives whenever they can. They probably look at us as being far too much in touch with the here and now and our own self-involvement then they usually are. However, most people not Amish probably wouldn't dream of going back to the actual old days that we sometimes pine about.
It's a fact that there will be no way we'll ever be able to completely escape the intrusion of popular culture in our lives. Our grandparents probably thought Elvis Presley was the beginning of the downfall of Western civilization in his day, though many today look back and wonder what the uproar was about. Surely, 50 years from now, people then will look back at us and do the same thing.
