Pop Culture Versus Real America—Learner English Series
2 MINUTE READ
June 1, 2016

The Pop Culture versus Real America cover shows examples of iconic pop culture TV shows and movies.

The world is often misled by pop culture images of the United States. Through pop culture, the world sees a certain sort of American: vain and oversexed, miserly and self-obsessed, prone to violence, a bit nutty. That image is ripe for debunking. Portraits in this book are drawn from real life, not entertainment. What they present is a nation of real people, at once large-hearted, hardworking, painstaking, imaginative, stirred by fellow feeling and, on the whole, quite admirable.
