They used the selfie stick as an example because that was popular in social settings and brought people together. When you go to concerts, all these people are coming together to do something they enjoy because of popular culture. ]]> 2022-06-26 20:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tmj564/39hx45l47qzwzqsj/wish/2230788229 tmj564 https://padlet.com/tmj564/39hx45l47qzwzqsj/wish/2230788879 Next we have the critical approach which explains the control and dominance global brands have on society, it's more about the money compared to the functionalist approach. You see brands all the time partner with popular celebrities as a brand deal in order to bring in more or new business. You have companies like Apple, every year they come out with a new phone, different versions of it, and colors. Even though we could have a year old phone that could last longer they will pour money into their marketing to get you to buy their brand new product that is the best of the best. ]]> 2022-06-26 20:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tmj564/39hx45l47qzwzqsj/wish/2230788879 tmj564 https://padlet.com/tmj564/39hx45l47qzwzqsj/wish/2230790080 Lastly, we have the interacting approach which is when small gatherings, friend groups and things along those lines come into play. For example, I could be hanging out with a couple of my friends and I would talk about the new Top Gun movie and suggest that they go watch it. When they do, I influenced them by word of mouth and they were influenced by me to go and watch the new movie. ]]> 2022-06-26 20:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tmj564/39hx45l47qzwzqsj/wish/2230790080
