Introduction Pop culture in the United States has significantly grown over the ages. Currently, pop culture is concentrated in high school students, who have grown deep roots into it. The media, on the other hand, continues to be creative to come up with new stuff, which continues to attract the attention of the youths. The media industry has a lot of fantasy materials, which have managed to gain the attention of the youths (Kerley, p. 96). This paper comprehensively covers pop culture and the media in comparison to Dolby’s research and opinion. Denby’s View on Teen Movies Denby covers teen movies in a perfect way. He targets high school students. Denby says that high school students should open their eyes and realize that teen movies are full of fantasy.

Buried Alive In Buried Alive , Denby talks on how today’s children have been buried in an avalance of crud, in the name of the media. Modern youth live and survive by the mercies of the global and local media. Buried Alive is about the start of political economy, which involves children literature in the publishing and film industry. There is a sudden change in the number of socioeconomic politics as well as government institutions. This provides a platform for a heavy discussion about the effects of publishing and film production, especially under the management of a giant media industry. Children literature is ever expanding as new players hit into the market daily with new products. On the other hand, children continue watching movies, listening to talk shows and reading media material. These give them a false impression of life and lead them to the wrong direction. Parents, who should be on the forefront of advising and guiding their children, always war
