Assignment 1-4-6

Written Analyses

            So can Starbucks fall into any popular culture category?  I believe it can in many ways.  First, just with the word popular.  Go back a few years and you would not see as many, if any, coffee shops.  Our culture has made a demand for coffee shops because of the want that people have for it.  Many people would even say that coffee from any coffee shop would be a necessity. 

           That might even be considered a belief, in which you have to have your morning cup of coffee to get your day started.  There is even the myth about Starbucks and their logo.  I went into that in detail in another blog, but it was interesting to learn about it.  Is there a reason that people keep going back?  We may never know if it has anything to do with the myth or not.  I go back, just because it’s a treat and I love the taste.

            My most interesting findings in this class would have to be about learning that there are stereotypes in popular culture.  I guess I never really put it together, but there would almost have to be for marketing purposes of products.  If you are trying to sell something to a teen, you would need to know what teens like.  It would be almost the same for anything that you see an advertisement for.

            As for Starbucks, I do not really think that I will view my cup of coffee differently because of this class.  I understand more about why we have, ok, maybe need coffee shops.  I do know that when I have my cup of coffee in the morning, I will always remember using it as my topic for this class.
