casual arguments part 2 dealing with cultural phenomena

One of my most interesting common cultural phenomena subjects if the iPhone. This new phone that apple is creating is stirring up a lot of tension for the consumers. Everyone is talking about it, and everyone wants to get the next big thing that Apple is producing. This topic is what many people are talking about these days especially between my friend groups. Many people that I have discussed the causes of the iPhone say that the consumers were waiting for Apple to create something new and exciting like they usually do.
Many think the main cause of the iPhone is that there are no products out there like the iPhone and everyone wants to have something that Apple makes because they are big on the market. Another cause of the iPhone could be that everyone needs a phone and there needs to be something new to a phone that is not already done before. Another reason that Apple may created the iPhone was because they need to create something new that involves a more complex technology and needed something to stand out in the economy more than lets say a blackberry. With more research, I could find out more causes of the iPhone.


Another interesting common cultural phenomena subjects if the popularity of American Idol. As a fan of this show, I have been listening and reading all the news the media is presenting on this season 6. American Idol has been one of the most talked about topic in many of my group of friends and even family. Many people feel that this season is not going like everyone wants. Many people are loosing interest because they feel like America is not picking the right people.
One of the causes of the loss of popularity of the American Idol show could be that many people do not vote as much as they use to or could it be the fact that people are voting on looks rather than their vocal talents. I know between my friends and I we are just getting tired of the singers that should be off that are not leaving the show. One good cause of the popularity of American Idol could be that it is probably one the most talked about season ever because of the disappoint throughout the season. This show is talked about on the radio in the morning and evening as well as in magazines. With more research, I could evaluate the popularity of the show with season 5 to season 6.
