Pop Culture

Pop Culture influences everybody and me also. Pop Culture takes huge mass of people together. In the another words, people influence to each other because we create pop culture by our self. We make movies, radio and TV shows, we sing popular songs and play football. I watch a TV, I listen a radio, I walk outside and I communicate with people. So, like to everybody, pop culture influences me every day: from advertisements, from great stores' windows, or from a new movie with my favorite actors.
TV

"Sex and The City" is one of my favorite TV shows. It is easy, funny and very stylish show. And this is one more example of pop culture. Honestly, I haven't seen before so much influence for people from a TV show like from "Sex and The City". People got really crazy. They started to copy everything from the show, their style and fashion, drinks and food, even friendship by four people. Everyone from my friends enjoy this show. People like to watch this show because they find there something personal, similar problems, or good examples to do something or some fashion things.

There are examples of pop culture. You can find a lot of subjects of pop culture if you just go outside. There are many places where people like to spend time, such as beautiful parks, or popular stores. Pop culture is everywhere and around us, as Christmas or football game. These events take huge mass of people together. We asked people about pop culture and high culture. Actually, it doesn't matter what you prefer. Because pop culture, even a tiny part of this, but still is in every human heart.
Three Words Project

There are so many people in the world who doesn't have home, family, even any money to buy some food. Nobody have enough money, but we have enough to give some for poor people. They don't ask us about millions, or about new house, or fancy vocation. And one dollar will not make you reach, but it will help to them.


technology

I heard from people that they don't have influence of technology, they can live without cell phones or ipods, or computers. But how about laundry, for example, or just a toilet? This is technology also. And in summer time when temperature outside is 100 degrees, no one can turn off an air conditioner and say that people can live without technology. Of course, we will not die without a new iphone, but we don't know how to know any news with no media, or how to ask a cock to wake you up 6:15 in a morning. We were born and grew up with technology. So, this is a necessary part of our life.

"Literacy and Text Messaging: How will the next generation read and write?"

The writing problem today is very popular especially among teenagers. People use too much of abbreviations, symbols and numbers. Many of them forgot already how to write using proper words instead U, 2, 4 or gonna-wonna.

Today many residents and professors of any Reading associations discuss about bad influence for children by technology. But just a few from these professors say something about educational system today. Children texting and messaging a lot, but also they go to school, they study grammar and literature, they write compositions and essays, and they read classics and verses. And if kids don’t know how to write I WANT TO GO instead I WONNA it means that their parents should watch better their kids’ knowledge and school grades. My mom never took away my cell phone, but I always remembered, if I get grade 2 or 3 (in Americans’ education systems it means C or D) she will do it and not only my cell phone. I’m a student. I go to school. I study grammar, reading and writing. Also I’m texting and messaging a lot, every single day. And of course for texts I use not proper words to safe my time for texting. But my teacher teaches me what kind of words I need to use for writing and what kind of language. Also I never saw numbers instead words in my books. So, when I’m writing something, I’m not thinking how to write 4U or FOR YOU.
