Reflecting on Popular Culture

Over the past two weeks that we have been looking at the subject popular culture I realized that this subject can be more complicated and very detailed than what we simply named or described our first day of school. I have noticed and learned about a lot of different factors that contribute to our popular today that I would have never imagined before. Although I do find some subjects a little hard and confusing to understand I am very intrigued to continue looking into the various aspects that make popular culture and how it has changed over years. In reference to the article I was very surprised when I read that “women had helped to construct a culture and that they ironically did the dirty work of their society”. Not only the fact that ironically did the dirty work but also the fact that it is mentioned that women helped construct a culture. Honestly I thought that back then women weren’t recognized at all especially in the construction of something big for the society. Also another thing that caught my attention the most from the article was the example of Mickey Mouse being important to understand the Great Depression as well as Franklin Roosevelt. I have to admit that many ideas seem complicated to understand but I am learning a little more as I go along.
