Popular Culture has effected the way i live my life in more ways than one. It effects my everyday decisions without me even really taking noticing of it. People tend to sway to what the media portrays to be in or "cool." Usually people will purchase certain products because they seen a certain celebrity on tv with the same item. A few years ago being seen with jewelry was a sign of success or monetary status. Because i would see celebrities with shiny jewelry everyday on the television, I decided to go and buy a chain for myself.
My clothing style is very influenced pop culture. Usually i would buy something that i have seen someone else wear or what is currently in style. Although ii try to sway from this habit because fads come and go i usually end up in the same routine.
Even tho popular culture has a great influence on the decisions i make i believe that my friends have an even bigger impact. Information spreads by means of word of mouth and my friends do or wear might have an impact on what I decide to wear. (usually when it comes to shoes) Overall I believe althoughpopular culture does influence my life it doesn't control it.

I do believe that friends tend to be the biggest influence in the way we deal with Popular Culture.
I agree that the media influences what people do. If your favorite celebrity is advertising a product, it might make you look at the product differently adn you might go out and buy it.
