ways in which the Beatles left their mark on modern pop culture.
Who Were the Beatles?
The Beatles became a huge cultural phenomenon at a time when the Baby Boomer generation was coming of age. It was the 1960s—a decade of social and sexual revolution (Jones). The members of the Beatles were themselves born during the war time period: “all six boys were born during that conflict” (Laing 10). The effects of war and violence had a haunting impact on the young men who made the most popular music in the world in the post-war youth culture that developed as… Continue Reading...
production firmly within the realm of pop culture. Being from an opera, the song “Oh, I Can’t Sit Down” is lyrically driven, and the vocals remain the cornerstone of the piece. “Oh, I Can’t Sit Down” occurs about halfway through the opera, and is a light, whimsical piece sung by a chorus as opposed to any musical lead. The DeMain arrangement includes a range of instruments including tubas serving as bass lines and a full horn section as accompaniment. Although Porgy and Bess is an opera, it is a folk opera, one that distances itself from… Continue Reading...

Gamers play the game, but even non-players may have incorporated elements of the game into their everyday lives. For example, popular dances like The Floss went viral because of the game. In this way, Fortnite has done something that only the most popular video games are able to do; it has passed beyond the world of video games and become a larger part of popular culture.

pop culture, and art. It has also led to a greater understanding of other religions. This has increased tolerance and understanding, but is not only a benefit.
While there are plenty of benefits for globalization, there are also some challenges that are very specific to globalization. Globalization benefits society, at large, but that does not mean that it is beneficial to everyone impacted by it. First, while globalization has meant income increases in some areas, it has come with a decline in standard of living for some groups. This is… Continue Reading...
media and the consumer markets (Huh 1). The Asian American community has not been able to make a mark in the American pop culture. The measly Asian American representation is strictly controlled through the lens of distortion and inclined towards creating the perception that Asian Americans are only good comic relief artists (Huh 1). Due to insignificant Asian American representation in media platforms, the young Asian Americans have been forced to adopt personals from various cultures in the quest to mobilize themselves culturally and socially. All in all I believe Asian Americans should be more assertive in claiming their rightful place and sustaining their… Continue Reading...
defines the boundaries? Roads, water, railroads. Is the area known for a particular name? What area is this community located in?
This area has become famous in pop culture because of a film called "Fargo" by the Coen Brothers, which is now a TV show. It is a crime show but the actual town is far less surreal. The boundaries consist of: Red River, which divides North Dakota from Minnesota and runs North-South on the eastern half of the town. Fargo as a whole sits in North Dakota. I-94 runs East-West through the southern half of the town, and I-29 runs North-South through the western half of the town. Hector International Airport is on the northern half… Continue Reading...
