Pop culture, in my opinion, has helped me build and strengthen relationships with people from the same culture. People nowadays use series and movie references to build their relationships with one another, as I mentioned with Star Wars. It has evolved into a very interesting mode of communication.
Today’s youth live in a world dominated by technology and pop culture, thanks to the proliferation of television channels, social networking sites, blogs, music and film genres, video and computer games, and so on.

Pop culture is entertaining, fascinating, and pervasive in our lives. Nonetheless, popular culture has an impact on us, both positively and negatively.

In a negative way, the culture has led to both women and teenagers idolising certain celebrities who engage in unacceptable behaviour, altering their perceptions of their own bodies and attempting to fit into some beauty standards.
