Popular Culture and Happiness

Popular culture and happiness go hand in hand in everyday life. They are both temporary and don't last for a very long time. We engage in popular culture by what we wear, watch, listen to, read, eat, drive, really the things we like to do. Engaging in these various activities makes people happy for the time being until there's something else they would like to do. We see celebrities wear certain clothing or have their hair a certain way, then become infatuated with looking like them, sometimes without even knowing it. We go to the mall and spend money on the same style clothing they have, getting our hair the same way they do, because it "What's in" and everyone is doing it. Popular culture changes over time, the same way happiness changes over time. What makes us happy today might not make us happy tomorrow or even a week from now. We let advertisements influence how we feel or even what to spend our money on. They show women on TV dieting or taking these weight loss supplements and to us they look flawless. Our mind begins to tell us if we take what they take we will look the same way and be so much happier. Therefore we want to buy the product. We have so many thoughts on how we would look and what we would do and wear while looking that way. After a while of not seeing progress like how you envisioned you see something else you want to buy and cycle starts all over again. Popular culture and happiness are ongoing events that keep us moving in everyday life.

Isn't she so much "happier"
