     I learned from reading the article that pop culture belongs to the common people or all the people, and the elite class cannot represent pop culture, because pop culture belongs to all the people, so pop culture influences beliefs, behaviors, values, etc. Popular culture often touches on social issues, helping to raise awareness and discussion of topics such as racism, sexism, mental health, and more. What was popular culture in the past may be high culture in the present, and what was elite culture in the past may be popular culture in the present, like Shakespeare.

     Slan's fusion of various cultures.  This is not a case of a clash of civilizations.  It's not a blend that can't be distinguished.  It is a network of civilizations that incorporates various cultural traditions.  Islam has incorporated ideas from both ancient and contemporary civilizations throughout its history.  The Islamic culture is urged to achieve this by the Quran.  Whatever your beliefs, that is a pretty wise thing to say.
