Music is a part of pop culture. Ed Sheeran, one of the most popular artists with the most creative song lyrics, had a concert in L.A. last year. There were so many people from different races and both sexes that showed up, each of whom were big Ed Sheeran fans. His music, which tugs at one's heartstrings, has connected so many people!
One Direction, an incredibly famous British-Irish boy band, is widely known around the world. They became famous after losing the UK X-Factor, but they soon rose to world wide domination in the music industry, thus gaining fans from all around the world - Europe, America, Australia, Asia, and more! Their catchy tunes have won the hearts of many fans!
This is an example of a contemporary collective ritual. When One Direction released their movie, This Is Us, a group of girls lined up to be the first ones to see it. Our shared love for the boys and their music made us all at ease with one another because we were able to comfortably 'fangirl' and squeal without any judgments. Most of us became friends after!
According to cultural hegemony and consumerism, brands do matter. Although McDonald's coffee might taste better, having a Starbucks cup in your hand gives off a different impression to others.
This is an example of a sacred symbol. The UCLA Bruin is a key symbol and identification amongst students in UCLA. This picture was taken when UCLA and University of Florida had to play against each other during the Final Four. Putting a plastic alligator in the mouth of their mighty bruin symbolized their strength, their strong support system at the school, and their determination!
