I found this podcast interesting because my research paper is connecting leadership and popular culture. In my project, I\u2019ve been researching how the leadership and influence of Jennifer Lopez has increased Latinx representation on screen, and in all aspects of entertainment. Before her, only 1% of stories told on screen were about Latinx people. Although representation has increased, there still isn\u2019t enough representation of all races and ethnicities in entertainment today. Like Dr. Bezio said, representation of viewpoints matter. The average American audience is more than just middle-aged white men, and our shows, movies, and music need to represent that. Every young boy and girl should be able to see themselves in a TV show, and see that everyone from all backgrounds is represented.<\/p>\n
While listening to the podcast, it was interesting to realize that something like Shakespeare, what we would consider old, was at some point pop culture. What is and what isn\u2019t pop culture just depends on the context in which you are looking at it. Someone could study how Shakespeare\u2019s plays were pop culture at that time, but not necessarily now. What is old-school or 80\u2019s for us now was at some point the latest trend. That was a fascinating realization for me, and one day our current pop culture will be a thing of the past as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
