Popular Culture
BEATLEMANIA
When one think of popular culture you may think of the Hip Hop culture which is only one of the many groups, fads, trends, marketing commodities, attitudes, images and subjects of topics of which to learn from in our ever so changing technical world today.
In the 60’s one such group that generated national and global appeal was the Beatles, they were one of the most popular rock star bands around the world that created a culure “Beatlemania”. The cultural aspects that the Beatles were credited with according to “The Beatles: A Cultural Revolution” were the influence of films, hair styles, pop art, fashion, setting the precedent for large scale concerts and conceiving popular music as an art form. Their song “All You Need Is Love”, reached across all racial lines as so many songs do today, and became a national pop icon anthem for those who chose to follow them.
Popular Culture can have that effect upon large groups of people, for it stems
from beliefs, attitudes, values, images, that are preferred and shared by individuals that is transported through various mediums and becomes a part of that particular group’s lifestyle. Popular culture can be transitory and often the initiator of change.

In business it is important to understand the current culture, language, lifestyle, attitudes,and preferences of others whose lives are different from your own in order to get a broader perspective of what role diversity plays in our country and the global community. It also helps one to adapt to the way others do business according to their beliefs, religion, education, resources habits and rituals.
The key for me for me for future success in business is to always be open to change and willing to learn from others.
I would consider an example of a popular culture artifact or icon as one that has wide spread popularity and appeal conveyed through different mediums such as music, television books, the media, the internet, and one that is very often marketable and used as a source of knowledge as well.
