There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.

Semester's over, internship is over - time to reflect.

I've been digesting heavily on the concept of culture and how a "cultural space" could be formed, and in a less 'natural' way how this can be influenced or directly created by others taking into consideration things like pop culture and the influences of mass media on said culture.

Maybe its a good idea to just put out the definition of pop culture here: Popular culture (commonly known as pop culture) is the totality of ideas, perspectives, attitudes, memes,^[1] images and other phenomena that are deemed preferred per an informal consensus within the mainstream of a given culture, especially Western culture of the early to mid 20th century and the emerging global mainstream of the late 20th and early 21st century. Heavily influenced by mass media, this collection of ideas permeates the everyday lives of the society.

(Yes that was from wikipedia.)


How much of our 'American' culture is designed and implemented by media/corporate entities? No specific answer as of yet, but its something worth thinking about.

So here's some fotos:
