Ever since the beginning of high school, my friends and I would go onto a software application called Skype, which allows people to connect each other through calls and webcams. We would usually webcam to have that feeling of being there as if it was real. With Skype, we got to connect with each other no matter what state they were in. There was this one time where I was in AP physics and a physics final project was approaching soon. I needed to come up with an idea to make a cardboard boat float in a swimming pool, with my body inside it. When I could not come up with an idea, I asked my friends during a Skype call what I could possibly do. We kept bouncing ideas off each other until we finally came up with an idea.

Even though Phillipe doesn’t directly say that we need pop culture to stay together, he spotlights the fact that pop culture is vital to communication. Phillipe’s video directly talks about internet culture, such as PSY, comic con, and Paul, the psychic octopus. He talks about how pop culture shaped his experience and how it connects. According to Phillipe, pop culture is a “universal language” and a power that connects people and makes people smile (Phillipe 9:28). While Phillipe uses the internet as a way to explain how unification occurs, Klosterman uses the series of Harry Potter books and talks about the difficulty of the understanding of pop culture through the lack of knowledge of pop culture references. From this, Klosterman believes in order to connect with others, reading pop culture is a must, and “Harry Potter will be the only triviality that most of that coming culture will unilaterally share. And I have no interest in any of it.
And I wonder how much of a problem this is going to become” (Klosterman n.p). Klosterman’s view can also be transformed into a perspective where pop culture is a must to stay connected with other people. Based off these two authors, both agree upon the claim that pop culture is a special way to connect with others. People are unified through communication and are able to create conversation, leading to a process of obtaining knowledge through pop …show more content…
I believe that the perspective of unifying people by communication is to help brainstorm ideas to help write easily, while social engagement is to help receive feedback, shape opinion from what people say, and to help each other on what to say. On Holmes blog, “What Monkeys Eat: A Few Thoughts about Pop Culture Writing”, Holmes directly uses social media and its features such as comments. She talks about how pop culture can affect people’s decision and blind people from the important issues in the world. She reports, “People absolutely make decisions about where to get information based on who understands and relates to them culturally. People absolutely decide they believe this person or that person based in part on whether they know anything about country music or hip-hop or hunting” (Holmes, n.p). In simpler terms, people will get info from people who can relate to them, when people relate to each other, they are taken more seriously and believe what they hear. Through this, based off what they are told, it will shape their opinions on certain beliefs off of other relatable culture opinions and help create their own similar statements to others yet lack originality of being
