Popular culture is defined as the widespread cultural elements in any given society that are perpetuated through that society’s vernacular language. Popular culture is also deemed simply as what is popular within the social context, which is most strongly represented by what is perceived to be popularly accepted among society.
Popular culture is relevant for me in a business environment in that, firms with sustained superior financial performance typically are characterized by a strong set of core managerial values that define the ways they conduct business. It is this core value, such as how to treat customers, employees, suppliers and others that foster innovativeness and flexibility in firms. When they are linked with management control, they are though to lead to sustained superior financial performance. In the business environment, firms with strong cultures are pointed out as examples of excellent management. Population culture serves as an important element towards my moral as an employee in a company or firm in which I would work.
An artifact must be some action, event or object that is perceived as a unified whole. Hence the perception of a whole “thing” or “happening” that has some identity or character in itself is what makes an artifact. One good example of a population culture artifact is the flag of the United States. I chose the flag as an artifact because, the whole flag is perceived as a unity. It is made up of a combination of different parts to from a whole. The bottom strip of the United States flag for example is not an artifact. This is because, although one can perceive it all by itself if he or she makes an effort, it is not usually seen as a thing in itself, with its own separate meaning. Neither is the field of stars in the flag’s upper left corner. Rather the whole flag is perceived as a unity which makes the flag itself an artifact
