Popular media is reflected greatly in our culture; what we wear, eat, and value. The blog topic this week is to discuss what institutions effect popular media. In my opinion, the elite definitely play an influencial role in popular culture.
The masses constantly look to the wealthy elite for the latest trends; they set an example and the rest follow. Their wealth plays a huge part in the elite's infleunce over society. The world is essentially ruled by money which is exaclty why the rich have always been highly influencial.
We see the clothes they wear and the products they buy; certain items become a symbol of wealth in an increasingly materialistic world. As a result, the masses become entranced with mimicking the elite.
