WEEKLY WRITING ANAYLSIS ASSIGNMENT 1-4

          Pop Culture Communications: Texting

          How many of us have tried calling our kids, family and friends and have our call go directly to their voice mail. However, if we send them a text right after we call, we receive a text back. It seems that we have lost the power to communicate verbally, and only thru texting are we able to connect to each other. A completely new dictionary has been written, so we can understand what those three letter symbols or letters mean.

 A person in the consumer base industry, communications is a necessary tool to be able to survive in the world of retail and advertising. I work with my kids and several young people and their communications skills seem to be limited. Most young groups that just know how to text write a formal could not resume for a job. However, I bet they could text one.

Texting has become a source for students to cheat on exams. With this source of cheating, texting has lowered the IQ of our students. Since they do not have to learn how to communicate nor do, they have to study for all those necessary exams that will help them move on in the world.

Not only has texting caused a problem in the classroom it has became a major traffic problem. With most states banning texting while driving the number of car accidents still, continue to be at an alarming number.

Instant messaging or better known as IM``s. we has parents need to understand how this form of communicates will affect our children’s lives.

Assignment 1-2 Popular Culture Blog

            What is pop culture, simply put, events, people, and fads and trends that each and everyone one of us is caught up in. It could be an event such as a political election. We all know how the election of 2008 took the full attention of the country. That election showed more of our culture than it did of our political standing.  The people of the 2008 election became a major part of our culture. Even though we as people try not to admit that we voted based upon our culture, a large amount of Americans will say they voted based upon culture. As we see fads and trends of the 21^st century evolving, we need to look no farther than the cell phones we use. In such a short period, we have required the cell phone industry to keep up with our culture demands of change to our own culture. We look at cell phones as a symbol status, do you have an I-phone, if not you are not in with the popular group of students at school.

            In my business world, we must always be aware of the most popular item that is wanted in the world of fast pitch softball. While being involved in sales requires one to stay on top of the hot items, or the fads that occur in sports. Such as, the items that Jenny Finch would use. Even though the items she used really wasn’t better than an item that didn’t have her name on it, that is the item that ever girl wants. Therefore, to make sure we stay with the hot items or the trends for say, we must watch what these icons in sports are using, or be left with a lot of inventory that will not sale.

            I really believe that the I-phone is a pop culture artifact. Everyone has a cell phone these days and the elite of the phones seems or is presented as so, is the I-phone. A person or groups seems to be either part of the elite group if they have the I-phone, if not they afre looked upon as a lower inferior culture, and not that of the elite culture.
