Does popular culture directly influence youth in today's society?

Question

if so, please tell me your opinion. Thank you.

Answer 1

Absolutely. Young people emulate much of what they see in the media.

Answer 2

Some people are directly other indirectly. No one is truly free from the opinions of the world, especially when its thrown at you from every angle. This also has a lot to do with how parents raise children. If you allow your children to be raised by the television, movies and magazines... well you'll have a lot of racist, anorexic drones (sweeping generalization). Many people are influences by rebelling against what is popular now, trying to give an illusion of non-conformity, which is ironic in so many ways. If people aren't raised with a filter to keep the trash out of their minds and to think on their own and not allow themselves to be trapped by images they see.

Answer 3

Every single day.  All the coverage of Britney Spears.

Answer 4

Duh!

Answer 5

Every second of everyday: tv, newspaper, movies, ads, everything. They influence the new trends in clothing and hair style and even ways of life. It's also the other way around too: youth in today's society are affecting pop culture with what they want and what they think is cool.

Answer 6

Yes of course, but it also the other way around as well. The youth have a huge influence on popular culture!
