Folk Culture's Messages on the Good and Meaningful Life

The videos on how to be the perfect girlfriend/ boyfriend both tell you what to do to make the other person happy. Even if it means not being yourself and lying. To make them feel good they tell you to pretend that you are interested even if you are not. I think the other person would rather just have you seriously telling them you don't really care about what they are talking about. The videos also try to tell you that buying your partner materials will make them happy. For example buying girls flowers or taking them on a vacation, and giving men beer to distract them and make them happy. I think they should have tried to spread the message that you should be authentic and also be happy yourself instead of only trying to make the other person happy. I think that these videos do show a legitimate expression of dominant folk perspectives. I think the "be smart but not nerdy student" is just telling kids to try and fit in. They should dress and act how they want not do it to fit in.
