What is American? What defines out American culture? Fads reveal many things about the culture they arise in. The American culture is the product of many cultures forced to mix and coincide. Each race must adopt new behaviors in order to fit in with society, yet traces of their ancestry can still be found. Fads can show up in many different places including major aspects like language and dress, to minor things like entertainment. A fad is defined as “a practice or interest followed for a period of time with exaggerated zeal.” Talk shows, legal shows, and real TV have become mainstream in broadcast television within the last five years. Shows like, “The Jerry Springer Show,” and “Judge Judy,” have moved to top slots on their broadcast networks. So what does this say about the American culture and society? It exposes the desire to see other people’s problems in real life situations, and relate to them.
