(Journal # 1) Pop Culture for Composition

Cars, clothes, fashion, designers, art, movies, music, life today... You could go up to anyone on the street and ask them what they think the latest or hottest trend is in one of those topics and I bet a million dollars they could give you a straight answer being their opinion as to what they believe is the "it" thing. That's pop culture. As said in Mirror on America, pop culture studies are just that - popular. It's a great theme for composition and no one can deny that. There's nothing better than writing about what's a "hit" today. Everyone has opinions and pop culture is easily a top of the charts opinionated subject. However, I think some people may over analyze it too much because in the book Mirror on America it is said that someone has their Ph.D in Pretty in Pink... I'm not sure if you can go very far in your career with that. An opinion is a very valued thing for everyone to have and writing about pop culture is the simplest way of standing your ground for legalization for example.
