Critical Thinking Blog #3

The current youth pop culture compared to the past seems to be a big difference, especially according to jacoby. She was showing how in the past it was popular to dress casually, but then once young girls started to see people they admired dress differently they began starting to as well. I think these were the biggest similarities to now because young girls and boys do this today, but the difference now is kids in this generation are taking not just clothing into consideration, but also behaviors, attitudes, livelyhoods, etc. and they are being just like their favorite star. Because it is who they look up to and want to be like. Personally the way I dress and act are all according to my personal preferences. Yeah if I see that some star is wearing a shirt that I like I might get it, but behavior wise I am my own person, I make my own decisions, I think I know what is best for me, and if not I learn from it. I dont need to look at the pop culture for ideas on how to live my life. I admit it is very interesting to see what these "stars" are into, but I dont think living like them is the right choice for me.
