Hearths of Popular Culture
Product of the MDCsWhat would the top
three be?1900,Result of :
Mass production Technology
More leisure time (Not farmers = More free time)
Ex: Popular MusicWritten by specific
people for mass distribution
1900
Changes Produce Mass Culture
Free School: More people
attended
Cause Cause/Effect Effect
So more people learned how to read
Now, more people wanted to read books and newspapersIncreased Tech:
More people could communicate with each other
People wanted telephones, radios, and phonographs
So that created a mass market for all of those products, especially the music!!Labor Laws:
Shorter work hours (10) Shorter work week (5-6 days)
More free time for fun!
Leisure… What to fill it with?
People wanted mass entertainment!
During the 1880s, inventors worked at making photo images move in a
sequence. The earliest movies were black and
white and lasted less than a minute.
Diffusion of Popular CultureWhat type of diffusion?
Hierarchical From Prominent cities to
world Rapid with modern technology Result of what?
GLOBALIZATION!!!History

Entertainment abroad for soldiers

mass culture American Movies, shows top
Sports Entertain Millions

Physical Environmental
InfluencesArt of folk cultures often mirrors
environmentFolk Cultures Influenced by cultural
institutions (religion)and environment –climate, landforms, vegetation
Food and Shelter especially!Environment often dictates culture here,
lack of technology to overcome these
FoodSoil, climate, terrain, vegetation impact food
production Terroir: physical features affecting taste of food
Impact of Fuel and Environment Energy shortages leads to: quick frying, low
prep techniques (often hot environments where less cooking means cooler home)
Abundant energy: slow stewing, roasting (often cold environments where slow cooking keeps the house warm)
Food longest lasting Folk Culture• “Cooking is even more uniquely characteristic of our
species than language. Animals do at least bark, roar, chirp, do at least signal by sound; only we bake, boil, roast, and fry”
Food Attractions and Taboos
Desire or avoid foods based on perceived natural traits Jaguars, Bulls for bravery and strength
Taboo: restriction on behavior based on social customs and environment Japan and Otters Potatoes in Europe Antelope and Mbum Kpau Pork, Hebrew, and Muslims Cows and India Insects and US

Diffusion of Pop Culture
Variety of physical environments
High level of economic development
Regional distinctions disappearing in MDC’s
Ranch StyleBecame popular from 50-70’sPopular in South
Why? Environmentally:
• Single floor required large lot, South less developed so more land for this type
• Hurricanes: upper level homes more dangerous for this weather pattern
Economic Structural Changes:• Migration trend was from where to
where?• Large influx of people to the South
when this style popular added to its growth
Effects of this Style: encouraged the concept of Urban Sprawl: the growth of huge suburbs to the detriment of rural areas
Double PileNorth East
They build up instead of out
Why would this be good in the North?
Highly Developed, little land
2 floor home allowed to grow up instead of out (smaller lots still accommodating the same # of people
Did not have as many weather issues, so basements and 2nd floors not dangerous
Pop ClothingReflect occupations and
income levelTechnology diffuses
style quickly Original from Paris Faxed to corporate
headquarters Designs to factories in
Asia On the shelves in 6
weeksContinued use of folk
costumes for memories and tourism
JeansOriginal symbol of youth and
independenceLevis status symbol worldwideRegional differencesLevis reclaiming the market with
ipods
Popular Food
