How is Popular Culture Diffused?
1. Although in China most social media is banned they made their own websites that were almost the same as the original apps.
2. It is pretty easy to find a hearth where the new "fads" come from and from there it diffuses
  1. Another factor is that these new "fads" have to make it enough to make it to the least influential person to buy or get ahold of
  2. The main three popular sports, basketball, baseball and football are now not the most wanted sports that kids want to play.. With new ideas coming in there are more options for those less skilled in maybe those areas.
    1. People are still raising their voice to keep traditions
  3. The original hearths of a popular product can easily lose its actual origin because it may be more used in different countries/places than the place it was created.
How can Local and Popular Cultures be seen in the Cultural Landscape.
1. How people have changed/imprinted the environment
2. Sometimes the landscapes with cultural and local ideas meld into one making it hard to distinguish the differences of them both.
  1. Local and popular culture is spread around the world too, again hard to find the hearth
3. When you travel you not only see the tourist shops and stuff but also the actual landscape that makes the place what it is
4. Although a culture will be practiced over the whole country it will be a little different when you go to different styles of life
