Popular culture has existed since the beginning of time. During every time period it has affected the people who live in it, affecting their thoughts, growth, development and actions.

For example, Paul Hogan showed content in his show in the 1970’s that would only recently be acceptable in the U.S. on shows like Jackass. This laidback atmosphere portrayed on television shaped the way he thought and probably the nations a whole.
