This tutorial identifies various areas of popular culture throughout the ages. The introduction provides some definitions, components, and methodologies of popular culture, although there is a certain degree of debate surrounding nearly all aspects of the study. The following five sections each examine a specific aspect of popular culture, such as popular music, and each section is itself divided into five time periods. As such, the tutorial can be navigated either by progressing in order through each section or by clicking on a specific time period within each section. Because the subject of popular culture is so vast, the scope of the tutorial is designed with a North American and European focus. Additionally, many of the sections deal with only one or two aspects of popular culture in depth, rather than attempting to define everything which was popular at any given time.
