Respond: How is social change represented in pop culture?
Social change is
represented in many mediums in society, especially pop culture. Pop culture is
a very impactful thing on our society, because so much focus is put on
entertainment, music, movies, and so much more. Concerning “Same Love” by
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, this music video shows a boy overcoming being gay
and how he commits to living his life as a free individual. This video serves
as a public service announcement to people all around the world that just
because a person is gay, they should be able to live a normal life without
others judging them. Furthermore, this music video is attempting to create
social change through a popular artist and song that it reaches more people.
Social change is
represented in pop culture because celebrities who are passionate about certain
issues will use their status as a way to create change in society. They may
make official public service announcements, represent an organization, or speak
at events in favor of their organization. Society is influenced greatly by pop
culture celebrities because that is what interests most people, and who they
are most persuaded by.
