The most prominent feature of popular culture is that it emerged with industrialization and has a profit motive. Although it is used to refer to widespread cultural phenomena that are suitable for the taste of large segments of the public, this culture is an industrial culture in line with today's production and consumption practices. Its aim is both to shape individual identities and to direct social behavior and provide entertainment by encouraging consumption.
Yes, it is a reality of behavioral transformation whose main purpose is to shape people into a uniform human model, a reality of behavioral transformation in which people are completely alienated from their own culture, by circulating arguments that are based on fast consumption and rapidly changing popular creation.
The main consciousness of popular culture is behavioral manipulation, capital expansion and social decay. The main goal here is to dissipate demographic culture. The erosion of culture results in a process in which a country's values are undermined and its unity and sociological structure deteriorates.
Popular culture actually transforms the communities it alienates from its own culture into a uniform model. This model shows constant change and rapid development, and we encounter a human society whose speed of consumption makes them forget the past, lose memory and accept another reality.
In Turkey, this process has transformed the society away from the values of the Republic and the morals and culture of the society. The concept of unconscious consumption has turned into a habit left to people by popular culture.
The concepts of social unity have turned into singularized individuals and turned into elements of a selfish society. The transition from socialism to individualism, from morality to immorality and the transformation into unconscious fast consumers are the results of POPULAR CULTURE.
Cinema, media, internet phenomenon, books and everything related to art has completely shifted to another dimension. How? People were encouraged to make easy money. Consumption has become crazy. Wannabism grew in every field and started to become a way of life.
This situation also dismantled the existing cultural structures of the bourgeoisie. It has also eroded the existing culture of the people and popular culture has actually increased the number of useful apparatuses for intelligence organizations. In fact, that is why today there is a proliferation of honey traps, espionage files and revived FETO files.
Popular culture, as the most powerful object of the deterioration that has been taking place for years, has a serious impact on this erosion. Namely, drug addiction, TV series that tolerate landlordism, TV series, movies and books that are based on deception and in which everyone seems to be right and powerful, are not just cultural objects but have become embodied in people.
