Traditions and Rituals in Popular Culture



Popular Culture is all about rituals and traditions, that are accepted by society in general. We all may have personal rituals and traditions, these are an important part of our own folk culture though. There are also local rituals and traditions, that become more a part of the main stream of society. When a ritual or traditon is generally accepted across society, it becomes a part of popular culture.

OMG, it is changing all the time! Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, and Elvis really is alive but I can't tell you where just yet. Popular culture is changing all the time because society is changing all the time, building on the foundations of yesterday's dreams.
