-This essay is the effect of pop culture in mass media in society to youth people. Firstly we need to ask; what is culture? The word culture suggests ‘a particular way of life, whether of a people, a period or a group.’ It can also refer to ‘the works and practices of intellectual and especially artistic activities.’ Culture plays an important part in how human societies communicate with each other. ‘An obvious starting point in any attempt to define popular culture is to say that popular culture is simply culture which is widely favored or well-liked by many people.’

-Nowadays, whatever happened people always post it on media, let people notice. The direction of public opinion will influence the court judgment to some extent. In fact, people always make a judgement by moral standards but not everyone understands the law.

-Providing convenience to society is one of the positive effects of popular culture.

-Promoting the advancement of society is another positive influence of popular culture.
