Popular culture is important in business because it is a way to stay in touch with society. If you follow the culture than you are known as a business that is able to relate to the world. It also helps you to attract people. People do not want to work with people who "don't get it" by staying current then you are able to show you have fresh ideas and are willing to move forward and people relate to that.
The popular culture artifact I chose was Dracula. The reason I chose Dracula is because he has stood the test of time and is still very relevant in the horror genre. The first Dracula movie was made in 1931. Bram Stoker wrote the novel that was turned in to a play. Bela Lugosi was the actor that first portrayed Dracula in the movie. Sense 1931 their have been over 161 movies made of Dracula. There have been thousands of vampire movies made, but Dracula has been the most thought of.
Dracula..!!!! one of the greatest of all time . Great choice. You should post a picture of Dracula right in the middle of your Blog.
ReplyDeleteYou are right he had stood the test of time and had survived for centuries. I love the 1931 classic with Bela Lugosi... did you know that he requested to be buried dressed up like Dracula....
Great Blog and great choice
Dracula I would have to say has remained infamous over the years. There have been new movies and tons of movies involving vampires. I like the fact that you really did your research here. You must like vampires or Dracula or neither and just felt it would be a great blog piece. Good job.
ReplyDeleteWow, Dracula was something I did not consider to be a popular culture artifact. I like how you mention nostalgia. It is true that often when you see an artifact it takes you back to that place and time. I feel like way when I watch an old movie, see old cars, or go into a historic building. The history comes so alive as if you feel you are in that era. It would be awesome to time travel.
