Cyberculture

Cyberculture is a very unique thing. Cyberculture has changed the way we as people communiticate. We don't even have to meet a person face to face to know everything about them or to find out what kind of person they are, you don't even have to say one word from your mouth. I have been dealing with cyberculture for quite sometime now. Once I figured out how to use Yahoo I've been apart of cyberculture since then. Ever since then cyberculture is a way of life for me now. I have a facebook a myspace and now a have a blog page. Sites like that allow me to keep in touch with childhood friends who have moved away and it also enables me to meet new people as well. I also use cyberculture for class work also. Even though it seems to be all good cyberculture has a negative side as well. Some people use it was a way to meet young children and take advantage of them. Cyberculture can allow people to look you up and stalk you and such things like that. As you can see cyberculture is one of those things we embrace and you just have to take the good with the bad.

Popular culture

Popular culture plays a big role in everyday life. There is no one person on the face of the earth that has not been effected by popular culture. Its just a way of life that people live by. Yes, I can say that in a way that it has shaped my circle of friends. When you are a young child you play at the park or playground with all different kinds of children from different races. You don't care about the color of their skin or what kind of close they have on. Once you become older you start to view things in different way. Your culture has pently to do with the way you live your life. You start to watch more and more TV as you grow older. TV plays a big role in popular culture because of the media. Your culture determines what kind of music you listen to what friends to choose and so forth. For example growing up as and african american child and knowing that we were once slaves to whites you would think I would dislike them and wouldn't want to make friends with them. People tend to let the media influence the way they go about living their life and the media is not always 100% right in the things they say or show. Once a person has their mind set that what their culture believe in is right its hard to change their way of life. Yes, popular culture plays a major role in everyones life.
