"Pop culture is a reflection of social change, not a cause of social change." - John Podhoretz
Host Keerthi spearheads this hour about pop culture. What is it and how does it affect teens? Milan starts out with the history of pop culture and how it influences politics, technology, entertainment, fashion, games, and more. Kirpa discusses how pop culture spreads through commercial media, such as radio, television, movies, the music industry, publishers and corporate run websites and social media. Keerthi introduces our newest reporter, Charvi, with her segment Beauty on Trial. Charvi believes that each individual must be the star they were born to be. She dives into legal regulations on photoshopping and digital alterations, false advertising, deceptive marketing practices, impact of beauty standards on mental health, body dysmorphia and its connection to beauty standards, societal pressures and so much more. This is a pop culture power hour.
Tune in and enjoy!
BIO: Charvi
Charvi, a sophomore student from Livermore, possesses a strong passion for dance, advocacy through leadership, and speech.
