In "The Rising of Popular Culture: A Historiographical sketch" the author LeRoy Ashby mentions "...an impressive examination of entertainments since colonial times, from the theater to pulp magazines, comics popular music, radio, television and movies." This shows how much pop culture has grown in our daily lives. He also says there are different groups with differerent backgrounds that create pop culture (pg 12). There are many different groups of people that contribute to popular culture in their own way. After the last couple of weeks my conception of popular culture has expanded. At first I figured that it was just simply what society found to be interesting. Now I realize that popular culture is so much more complex. You are able to break it down into many diffent area such as based on who you are and the time frame that you're in.
