Popular Culture


     Comparison of Expectation of Education and an Example from the Popular Culture
                                                                                  
        

            Right from the point when we were still young children and never understood why we even needed to be in school, our parents have always tried to show us and to prove to us that education is key in our life. It is from that time that I began to hold a lot of value to education because I believed and I still believe that there are a lot good things that can come from being educated. Personally, I have never let my background influence my decisions with regards to education and that is the reason I have devoted myself, so as to ensure that I get so as to be able to gain significantly from education. I believe that it is only through this education that I am pursuing that will I be able to make an impact, in my community and the world in general. I am determined to be knowledgeable and also practice my knowledge.


            This is the same spirit that I would pass to my kids and my kids’ children since I do have a lot of expectation from my love for education. In the present day, education is key even influencing how one relates to other individuals and also in enabling us understand and accept the diversity of the world. The English language has made it possible for people from various parts of the globe to be able to interact effectively thus accomplish various goals with ease. One of the best form of popular culture that I can relate with is books. My two favorite authors are Robin Sharma and Ben Carson. I tend to admire the source of motivation that one is able to derive from most of the books that are written those specific authors. The book, “Think Big” by ben Carson enables me to relate my life effectively with his though and thus that is where I derive my source of motivation and expectation from education. It is the experiences that Ben Carson that enables me believe that any with the ability to dream can make it in life regardless of where a person is in the world. Books can be a great source of knowledge and a source of motivation if only embraced by a majority of us.


            It is through the same books that I get to have a deeper understanding of life and motivation. It is for this reason that I believe that books are a good pop culture since in every student have a lot interests in various books, apart from the books that I have mentioned above.

  1. It's interesting to learn that popular culture is really has a major Affect on education. However, the life story of M.D. Ben Carson is similar to the article that we took in class.

  2. First-you are the only person that I saw that chose books and I think that's great! (It might mean we all spend too much time watching TV though!) Reading is a great way to find motivation and inspiration but I find it's sometimes difficult to find the time to read.
