Popular Culture

How do you honestly regulate popular culture? There is no way and before you know it what was in "style" is out and something new is "in". Trends come and go and I dont think that it is up to us, the people, to regulate it, but that our country should. Our country should care about our image and what we regulate in and out (inport and export) of it. However, I think that more than anything we run the way that our country "looks" and it is up to us to stop the negative popular culture. For example, we don't want the rest of the world to think that everyone that lives in the U.S. are a bunch of drug addicts because drugs exist within our boarders. I guess you could go both ways with it. You could put the blame on the government, but in all honesty we are the ones that are running the "popular culture" so to speak.
