Culture
Culture (from the Latin cultura stemming from colere, meaning "to cultivate") is a term that has different meanings. For example, in 1952, Alfred Kroeber and Clyde
Kluckhohn compiled a list of 164 definitions of "culture" in Culture: A Critical Review of Concepts and
Definitions. However, the word "culture" is most commonly used in three basic senses
Advertising and culture
Advertisements are one aspect of mass communication and are influenced by culture as much as the programming or stories that they are enveloped within. In the
advertising industry specifically, there is debate about whether culture is reflected in advertisements.
It is not likely that advertisements escape cultural influence, but the trick is to find the source.
Identifying cultural dimensions found to be correlated with content should be useful in understanding the world’s people, and helpful for educators, government and
other policy makers and businesses.
For marketers it could mean gaining more confidence that new products and marketing messages will be accepted and understood. The purpose of this study is to
explore the relationships between cultural dimensions and particular characteristics of advertising.
From these perspectives, mass media and culture are closely related and are not easily separated: culture provides mass media with sources for content.
All content must be derived from culture, including entertainment, news and advertisements, otherwise it could not be understood.
Advertising and Popular Culture
Popular culture (commonly abbreviated as pop culture) is the totality of distinct memes, ideas, perspectives, and attitudes that are deemed preferred per an informal
consensus within the mainstream of a given culture. Heavily influenced by mass media (at least from the early 20th century onward) and perpetuated by that culture's
vernacular language, this collection of ideas permeates the everyday lives of the society.
Popular culture is often viewed as being trivial and "dumbed-down" in order to find consensual acceptance throughout the mainstream. As a result of this perception, it
comes under heavy criticism from various scientific and non-mainstream sources (most notably religious groups and countercultural groups) which deem it superficial,
consumerist, sensationalist and corrupted.
It is manifest in preferences and acceptance or rejection of features in such various subjects as cooking, clothing, consumption, and the many facets of
entertainment such as sports, music, film, and literature.
Popular culture is what we have made out of products and practices of mass produced culture. Popular culture is the expressive content that is produced and
consumed. It is light entertainment that is delivered through the channels of mass media and finally absorbed voluntarily, to be absorbed by the individual who
receives it. Popular culture consists of the many facets of music, fashion, slang, entertainment, and the newer forms of media like internet.
