Pop culture knows no geographical borders. It touches all of us. It's both a reflection of us and a guide. Movies, music, books, art, and television... Why are they so powerful? How is it that "You jump, I jump" is a more recognizable line than many things said by great world leaders? What are the moments in Pop Culture that have most affected us? How much of pop culture is like a second language to one part of the world and yet completely obscure in another? Which pop culture is common knowledge in the East and totally unknown in the West? And vice versa?
Let's look at ten historically impactful moments in pop culture that any Westerner will immediately relate to. How have these quotes, moments, songs, paintings etc. changed us? What do they say about us? What do they say about the time in which they were born? Let's find out, shall we? And as we do, let's learn more about the world and let's have a fun, important, and eye-opening discussion. Just bring an open mind because "where we're going, we don't need roads!"***
