In this segment I will share three cultural artifacts that have their own unique place in our society. The first cultural artifact comes from our discussion in class. It is the acronym, FOMO. FOMO stands for “fear of missing out.” There are so many different ways to spend your time on this planet. This acronym is primarily used by millennials in Western culture. This term is significant because it enables people to exercise the power to consider opportunity cost when making decisions for their life. The next cultural artifact is the iphone. Apple has in so many ways swallowed up our culture in this country. It is almost impossible to go anywhere in a major city and not see people on their smart phones. These devices give us information about our world to help us through this journey called life. The final cultural artifact I’d like to discuss is major music festivals. I’ve attended some of the biggest electronic music festivals in the world because I believe they successfully achieve in creating a surreal atmosphere for everyone who attends. These festivals show what advances our society has made in music, technology, and entertainment. This cultural artifact creates an atmosphere where everyone can feel free to be the amazing beings that we as humans truly are.
