HOW DO TEENS INFLUENCE POPULAR CULTURE?

THE THINGS THEY BUY..

• If a majority of the teenage population buys a certain product, the product will most likely "fly off the shelves".
• Most teens enjoy buying similar things to their peers to feel accepted.
• If a teenage girl sees another teenage girl wearing something that she likes, she will most likely go out and buy the product.
• They influence this area so much because they have disposable incomes.
• Generally, teens don't have bills to pay so, it gives them the freedom to spend.

WHAT ARTISTS THEY LIKE..

• If the age group (teens) like an artist, that artist will do well.
• Usually, when teens hear a good song they show their friends.
• And in result, the friends will show their friends and the artist will make profit.
• The artist makes profit because most teens love to socialize and music is a great social outlet.

WHAT THEY ARE EATING..

• The companies teens generally like usually do well financially.
• The majority of teens enjoy unhealthy foods.
• I believe this is why obesity is an epidemic because one of the country's largest population, enjoys it.

SURVEY RESULTS

• I took a class wide survey
• I asked several questions and got some surprising and some expected answers.

DO YOU PREFER FASTFOOD OR HOME COOKED MEALS?

• I surveyed 27 people.
• 8 of 27 preferred fast food.
• 19 of 27 preferred home cooked meals.
• The results were suprising.

DO YOU HAVE A CELLPHONE?

• 17 of 25 people said yes.
• 8 of 25 people said no.
• The results were not surprising.
• The minority of people in this survey did not have cell phones.
• The majority of people that took this surveyed had phones.

DO YOU HAVE PETS?

• 20 of 26 people said yes.
• 6 of 26 people said no.
• The results were not surprising because having a pet is a very common thing.
• One reasoning for this is their parents want to teach them responsibility.
• That is why I believe the majority of the people surveyed said yes.

DO YOU PLAY SPORTS?

• 23 of 27 people said yes.
• 4 of 27 people said no.
• I believe this is because sports are a great outlet for teens.

IN CONCLUSION,

• Teens influence popular culture with the things they..
