8 Salloum 1 Key Issue 3: Why is Popular Culture Widely Distributed? Popular culture varies more in time than in place. Popular culture begins in one location, like folk culture, but diffuses rapidly across earth to locations with a variety of physical conditions. Rapid diffusion depends on a group of people having high level of economic development. Diffusion of Popular Housing, Clothing, and Food Some regional differences in food, clothing and shelter continue to persist in MDCs. Popular Housing Styles Housing built in the U.S. since the 1940s demonstrates how popular customs vary more in time than in place. Newer housing in the U.S. has been built to reflect changing fashion of houses. After WWII, most U.S. homes were built in modern style.
