How and why do these ads and spokespeople (like Flo from Progressive or Colonel Sanders from KFC) become part of the culture?<\/p>\n<p>Also, think about how marketing affects our perceptions of products. Do people buy more if they like an ad campaign and\/or a spokesperson? What happens if they don\u2019t like the spokesperson?

In this case, you might write about how foods become part of pop culture and why they&#8217;re so POPular.<\/p>\n<h3>Pop culture research topic #6: Pop culture\u2019s reflection of society<\/h3>\n<p>Some people say that art imitates life. Others argue the opposite. If you\u2019re writing a paper about how pop culture reflects society, try focusing on a specific form of art, such as music or film. For instance, do sci-fi movies, such as&nbsp;<i>Star Wars<\/i> or <i>Jurassic World, <\/i>reflect any aspect(s) of today\u2019s culture?<\/p>\n<p>If you really want to narrow your topic, you might write about a specific person, such as a musical artist who focuses on society or culture.<\/p>\n<p>Check out Lady Gaga\u2019s video for &#8220;Till it Happens to You&#8221; to see how she\u2019s using her music to draw awareness to the problem of sexual assault on college campuses.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Lady Gaga - Til It Happens To You (Official Music Video)\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZmWBrN7QV6Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Pop culture research topic #7: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-examples\/celebrity-worship-syndrome-LWHCHIHA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Celebrity worship<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>It seems as though people have worshiped celebrities as long as there have been celebrities, but has our love of all things celebrity changed over the years?<\/p>\n<p>Celebrity worship has affected our viewing habits, listening habits, clothing choices, and seemingly everything between. How has this impacted children and teens? How has it impacted people\u2019s self-image and\/or body image?<\/p>\n<h3>Pop culture research topic #8: Generational trends in pop culture<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/elvis.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5497 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/elvis.jpg\" alt=\"pop culture research topics\" width=\"500\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/elvis.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/elvis-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5497 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20331%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"pop culture research topics\" width=\"500\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20331%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/elvis.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/elvis-300x199.jpg 300w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/elvis.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Even though each generation experiences culture and pop culture differently, some elements of pop culture remain the same.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, you might compare <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-examples\/the-influence-of-music-of-the-1960s-on-the-differences-and-beliefs-of-the-older-and-younger-generations-IPpPjvtT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the music of the 1960s<\/a> and the music of today by discussing how artists of both decades use their music to comment on social policies and injustices.<\/p>\n<p>This type of paper could also examine the fact that each generation doesn\u2019t seem to understand the next.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, kids in the 1950s adored Elvis Presley, yet many parents certainly didn\u2019t share this adoration. The same can be said for artists such as The Beatles, Madonna, Miley Cyrus, or Drake. Think about what these artists have in common, how they differ, and why one generation might not appreciate the music as much as the next.<\/p>\n<h3>Pop culture research topic #9: Pop culture\u2019s promotion of social change<\/h3>\n<p>While it\u2019s certainly true that pop culture can be filled with crazy trends in clothing, hairstyles, and catch phrases, pop culture can also be an instrument of social change.<\/p>\n<p>Consider how the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/topic\/organization\/occupy-movement-occupy-wall-street\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Occupy Movement<\/a> and Black Lives Matter increased awareness. Or consider how musical artists such as John Lennon and Bob Dylan have promoted awareness and social change.<\/p>\n<p>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-examples\/the-significant-changes-in-the-american-pop-culture-brought-by-the-civil-rights-movement-bBgrNWn7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Significant Changes in the American Pop Culture Brought by the Civil Rights Movement<\/a> to see a sample paper about this topic.<\/p>\n<h3>Pop culture research topic #10: Pop culture across the world<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re writing a paper about pop culture in various countries, you could compare two countries or two time periods, or examine another country\u2019s pop culture in detail.<\/p>\n<p>This type of paper might also discuss how one country\u2019s pop culture influences another\u2019s. For instance, during the British Invasion of the 1960s, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-examples\/a-closer-look-at-the-beatles-a-popular-british-music-group-NLQDpdTw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">musical artists from Britain<\/a> became mega stars in the United States and changed pop culture forever.<\/p>\n<h3>Pop culture research topic #11: Popularity of movies<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5139\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5139\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/pop-culture-haters.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5139\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/pop-culture-haters.jpg\" alt=\"pop culture research topics\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5139 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20300%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"pop culture research topics\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/pop-culture-haters.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5139\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201chaters gonna hate\u201d by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/james_in_to\/8192825329\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">James G.<\/a>, Flickr.com (<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CC BY 2.0<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ever see a movie that you absolutely loved only to read that every critic imaginable has given it one star or less?
