Many colleges now offer courses in which students study television programs, comic books, magazines and advertising, and other aspects of pop culture. Critics complain that schools should not replace serious literature and history courses with such fluff. They claim that courses in popular culture present material that is trivial and inconsequential. But the study of pop culture can be just as important, demanding, and instructive as the study of traditional subjects.
Can the study of popular culture be as valued as the study of traditional literary and historical subjects?
No it cannot be because of the way it is viewed, pop culture is not to be as valued as history.
Can something be valued as priceless as traditional literature? How about history? What really is history. History as well as traditional literature can be valued as priceless. Can something be valued the same?
Well pop culture is how we see like celebrities and fashion and what not, but how can that be valued the same as something revolutionary such as a war perhaps? Yes popular culture is important to be seen throughout the human era but I don't believe it should be the same as literature. Literature can depict fantasy or anything but how can that be the same. Pop culture is important but not in the sense that is is valued greater or equal it is probably valued the same because it is pop culture.
History can depict anything for anything important in time, how can that be equal to pop culture? Yes someday pop culture will be viewed as equal because it may or may not be recorded in our history. It is amazing how it works out actually. It is not important until it's gone.
Now as for literature it is old books or stories. It makes for either a great real or fiction book, a possible recount of history maybe. Our society will probably make people think we had bad taste like us to old things. But in any sense we appreciate it is there.
In conclusion literature and history cannot be the same value as pop culture until it is gone. People make things seem important because of how it is but we need to say hey we're not there yet.
