Popular culture is the entirety of thoughts, viewpoints that are desired by an unceremonious consent within the convention of a given culture. Influenced by mass media to a very large extent, this collection of ideas pervades the day to day lives of a society. I have considered the topic of facebook as it is one of the most widely accepted forms of popular culture in our society. It is popular among all the age groups and every type of individuals and has become one of the powerful means of socialization.Actually anybody who is associated to a popular culture depicts a different role and characteristics in a society. They have their own norms, and values code of ethics and respective culture. The grouping is usually associated with elements such as endurance, and peculiarity. Furthermore, "pop icon" status is evident from other kinds of disrepute outside of popular culture, like someone from the history.  Some historical icons were famous in their eras and remained very popular back then and are forgotten today, however some remain popular in all generations or eras.

There are various popular artists that we follow today. From Oprah Winfery, who is a popular television host to Mark Zuckerberg, who has created the phenomenal facebook to music artists, social entrepreneurs, business tycoons, film actors and revolutionary politicians have all become an iconic representation for the youths and the majority of population. This trend of following the renowned people have actually started since long ago and the trend still continues and will be an essential part of socialization for days to come. Usually the iconic figures are associated with mass media and media has played an utmost role in molding their popularity further. Who does not love a life full of glamour and glitterati like that of a famous celebrity? Who would not get influenced when a speaker is powerful enough to change one’s philosophy into another? Everybody is attracted towards beauty, power, pride and existence.

Popular culture like facebook changes constantly and occurs uniquely in different places time or event. Items of popular culture most typically appeal to a broad spectrum of the public. Today the world of media is plating a vital role. It depicts the work of various people be it scientists or celebrities or politicians, be what maybe but media of today reflects each and every actions and brings it into the eyes of the world. People get amazed and mesmerized through this depiction. Therefore media has been playing a vital and an utmost crucial role in the upliftment of any popular culture myths or beliefs. There are tremendous myths and beliefs and people have their won interpretations or narrations for each mythologies, myths or popular beliefs. The association of people’s belief in such phenomena has made the foundations of popular culture even brawnier.

There are various popular culture myths and beliefs.For instance there are Chinese myths and beliefs about dragons and gods, which are still very popular and which we entertain still today in various TV channels in the forms of cartoons and movies. Popular culture will always be provoked by a large number of people and it becomes popular for a very long time. However everything has a time limit of popularity and with time and space, even popularity continues its dynamics of change. Facebook may stand as one of the most significant achievement in the history of mankind, but we must accept the fact that sooner or later it will be replaced by something better and bigger.
