What can pop culture teach you?

They surf the internet, watch movies, and play video games. All of these distract them from the task at hand, which is to complete school work. They end up failing classes as a result.

We live in a world where everyone wants to fit in. That means being popular. Popularity is dependent on having money, clothes, or other possessions. This can lead to some people doing things that aren’t right.

We have become dependent on technology. All information is available to us thanks to technology. Not all information is correct. False rumors can be found all over the Internet. These rumors spread fast because people share them on social networking sites. It's easy to post something without checking whether it's true.

People have lost the ability to think critically. People believe everything they see on the Internet. They trust what they hear on television and in magazines. They stop thinking for themselves. Instead, they follow others.

We lose control of our lives when we depend on others to tell we what's going on. Pop culture teaches us to depend on others. It also makes us lazy. We don't always see the truth, but it is there.
