The 20th Century



80s pop culture

The twentieth century was marked by a profound change in the way people travel. Compared to the previous century, changes happened faster and more widely than ever before. We no longer have horses. Instead, we have simple automobiles. The space shuttle is only one of the most recent innovations that came out of the 20th century. Although horses have been the primary mode of transportation for thousands years, they were quickly replaced by automobiles within a few decades. This transition was made possible by large-scale fossil fuel resource extraction, which provided immense amounts of energy. However, there were many environmental concerns.

Politics

The development of politics in 20th-century America was influenced by the changing relationships among the world's major powers. While the first half was marked by rivalries between major powers, the second saw the rise of a system that has multiple centers of power as well as discord. World events such as the Spanish flu pandemic and World War I have made this century a particularly interesting period to study. In addition, we'll examine the impact of the Cold War, which lasted from 1945 to 1991.

Technology

The twentieth century was a period of massive technological progress and scientific discovery. The inventions of electric light bulbs, the automobile and phonographs in the nineteenth-century were just a few of the highlights. In the 20th century, personal computers, wireless technology, as well as the atomic age, took place. Many of the modern innovations we take as a given today can be traced back to the 20th Century. We'll be looking at three of the greatest inventions from this period.


Religion

The secularization of religion is what led to the rise of "going public with religion". This phenomenon developed from the idea of modern humanism as well as secular political organisations being able take over traditional religious institutions. The modern world would replace all superstitions and deal with worldly affairs in a scientific and unbiased manner, without regard to religious faith. These new religious movements reflect a change in American society and culture, which was not inevitable.

Globalization

Economic globalization was born out of the two world wars, the Cold War, and the spread of technology. During this period, trade and economic interdependence became widespread, and environmental concerns became important. The most important factors in the spread of globalization in the 20th century were the development of transportation and communication technology. Globalization agents include mass culture, trade, and communication. All of them contribute to the globalization and integration of cultures and societies.

How can I incorporate pop culture into my marketing strategy?

To understand how to use pop culture in your marketing strategy, you need to look at the trends within it.

Let's suppose you wanted to promote the release of a new film. What kind of promotion would you be able to run?

You can create a trailer by using clips from your film. You could even find a clip that features one of your products or services and includes it in the video.

Perhaps you could make a parody of the trailer with other films.

You could use the movie's plotline to create a promotional campaign for a product or service you were trying to promote. One example: If you are promoting a product or service that helps astronauts keep healthy while they travel through space, it might make sense to promote the product.

Promos could be run for businesses that are related to the movie's plotline. If your company sells food products, you might offer customers free samples if they buy tickets to the movie.
