Blog #1

Well for the first question I think that it really depends on what you are shopping for and where you are buying it from. I do not think that doing all of your shopping online is patriotic at all for reasons of most of those stores you buy from are overseas. I know most of the products now a day’s come from overseas but buy going to the stores the American stores still get a share of the money. For the second question of this assignment I think that people could do allot of things to change the American culture. For one I think that the people buying online could help the American culture instead of always going online to websites and buying direct going to the store and buying the product that you want would give your community more money and help the people in the community. I also think that if people stopped eating at fast food restaurants such as mc Donald’s or taco bell or jack in the box places like those. Instead start buying food from the grocery store and cooking at home I think that will really help the culture. Now some people might read that and say how I figure that well listen to this. If you go to the store and buy food you are helping the farmers in your local area they are getting money so they can keep in business and keep growing food for the American people. As to where if you go to Mc Donald’s and order some chicken mc nuggets well those come from who knows where out of a factory the fast food is called praseesd food. Meaning the majority of it is fake like fake chicken just tastes like it not really from a chicken or fake beans from taco bell the list goes on and on. As for the next part of the question where I want to be with my life is pretty much excatly where you just read I want to eat at home with home cooked meals I do not want to eat fast food that often I want to know that im doing everything that I can do to help the community with how I buy my products and grocerys.

I think that Technology has changed our lives for the positive 100% and I do not think I need to really explain that just look at the 1920's to know. I definitely think that technology makes us dumber though because it does everything for us we relied on it to check our spelling for us to find the better deal it almost does everything for us in today's world. I definitely think that there should be some mystery to life I think it would make it more exciting on a daily basis things I think would be more interesting instead of the same old same old attitude and experience.

Conclusion

For a conclusion I think that if people take the time to actually think about what is happening to the world buy just strictly buying imported stuff instead of buying the stuff from the store or the groceries or just really it’s getting to be about anything your buy is from overseas. I think that if people keep buying online and not buying from the farmers or the small stores I think that it will just keep getting worse and worse as for the money we will have none because we sent it all over seas.

1. I sat down and i thought about what movies i saw the past couple days and what is the big deal. Right now in the world and things that i personally either really like or really want. There are some things that i put in there that effect me every day like i have a blackberry so i put blackberry because i know those are pretty popular. The things that i did not put on the list are things that i personally think are not that important but everybody's thoughts are different on what is cool and what is not.

2. From what i think i understand about this question is you want me to put what i like to least like. personally i like nascar and football and my playstation 3 and playing beer pong and my blackberry and stuff like that. As to where movies and love compatability and who has the new drama in the celeberty world and stuff like that i really dont care to much about. that goes back to what i said earlier i dont think that is important but somebody else might do nothing but find celebertys and drama and all of that.

3. Well i think that cars and racing and hanging out with my family and playing video games with my little brother are things that i personally like to do just a small list but it gives you a over view. I think that people do not realize how and what they do is hand and hand with popular culture and what is hip or what is not. I feel that some of the popular culture that i do or are apart of is a big part of my life and i did not even realize untill i took this class what it really was.

4. I think that popular culture has a effect on my life i would not say that it is a extreme effect on my life but yet again it might and i might not even realize it. So to answer the second part of the question no i probably do not even realize how much it effects my life or my day to day choices. Now that i have thought about it and got some knowledge about what is popular culture i would say that it does even when i do not even realize it.
