Essay About Pop Culture

Popular culture is everything to Americans. It is constantly being thrown at us through every angle possible. There is really no escaping the pop culture entrapment, and it is dangerously tearing at the strength of our society. Popular culture is a free –for- all now days; music, TV shows, social media, and even books do not have the moral backbone like they used to. With all these negative things always being thrown at us it is hard to differ between the good and bad anymore. That is a very treacherous spot to be in.

Saying that all popular culture is morally depraved would not be fair, but there are some major flaws in pop culture that are ripping apart the morals of our society. Social media is a huge player in the degrading of the American

You can listen to anything you want to all the time with no limits or restrictions. America’s music culture has a huge influence on the children of today.

These songs are teaching our youth that it is okay to treat a woman like she is a dog or that hard drugs are an easy

If these things are of low moral quality then the people start to take on that mindset. The mindset that says violence, profanity, sex, and drugs are ok as long as nobody says anything about it.

There must be a call to action with the people of American to rise up, revolt against the problems in society and actually stand up for what we believe in. We can no longer be robots and just go with what everybody else thinks. If we stay robots and never move to fix what is wrong with the world then we are bound to
