people have a distinct
Asian background, with a
strong Western tradition.

Popular culture (also
called mass culture

generally recognized
by members of a
society as a set of the
practices, beliefs, and

the teleserye has
evolved into a
genre with its own
unique
characteristics,

What is the most
popular culture in

by a majority of a
society’s population rather

entertainment (including
movies, music, television,
and video games), sports,
news, politics, fashion,
technology, and slang. It’s

groups) and high culture

elite, such as classical
works, theater, and fine
arts).
Media and marketing
heavily influence popular
culture in their use of
psychology to create an
emotional response to a
product or experience and
their skill in distributing
their message to a wide
audience. For that reason,
it’s sometimes associated
with media culture or
commercial culture.
Popular culture is also
constantly evolving, as
trends, or fads, come and
go. Its other elements are
enduring, remaining a
fixture of American
society over decades. For
example, professional
sports haven’t waned in
popularity since their
ascendancy in the 20th
century. Sports also
demonstrate the unifying
nature of popular culture,
as people bond over their
identification with a
specific team.
