Synthesis Question: Contemporary Era

Pop culture, short for 'popular' culture is easy to understand, people used popular culture starting since the earlier 19th century and in the 1960s shortened it to pop culture. Art created by painting helps clearly define the meaning and understanding of 'pop culture'. Since painting has a strong and deep meaning behind each brush stroke and color you see on the canvas, it helps us humans to know things at a mainstream movement. Which many people come to an understanding and then go out to other people to get them involved. Even though pop art occurred in a past era, it is still effective in modern society. The infamous Kony 2012 campaign used painting/art to gets it point reached across the world. As also the internet, by making videos. People prepared for April 12, 2012, a date that was saved for people to have put or make posters and paint murals around their city to let people know about the infamous African leader, Kony, and make him famous. The idea they had worked and more people understood who Kony was, which later made the campaign popular and shortly important in our social culture. Pop culture is just something many people find important and turn it into something of an everyday feeling. Many influences affect this culture, especially the media. The sensible thing of pop culture is that not everyone views  it as something important. They view it as something negative and give it many criticism so some groups follow and ignore what other was to show. Religious groups are perfect example of people who seem pop culture as something useless.
