Of just how out of touch of reality we really are. Do we really care that much of what people think of us, and of what we think of them? Hell just 50 years ago if you tried to talk to anyone they would at least respond with a kind comment/gesture.
There really only one thing that could have made us this way and thats the media. Even since the days of the radio we have been constantly filled with fear that mister Johnson is going to either murder or rape us.
My question is to you, Do you watch TV often or do you even have cable/satellite?
the media? oh come on, you can't blame everything on "the media"!
ReplyDeletethis is just one point, im not blaming the media entirely.
ReplyDeleteThe media certainly has some degree of sway over all of its viewers. It is definitely a valid point to take under consideration.
ReplyDeleteThe media definitely has an influence on these types of things, I'm sure if they never reported all the knife/gang/gun crime that occurs people would think the streets are a lot safer.
ReplyDeletemy answer is both!
ReplyDeleteha we don't have cable, but I still watch movies and stuff and download shows if I really wanna watch em
ReplyDeletei like this post.
ReplyDeleteSince moving into my own place i NEVER watch tv, but i find myself missing it o.o its mind controlling.
I have a tv in my room. I have cable, But i rarly watch it. Maybe a law and order episode or the news. But i am with you sir. Mass Media Culture is killing society.
ReplyDeleteyeah, i watch tv every day and have satellite...
ReplyDeletei think many of the reporters and tv stations are just attention whores, saying anything to get more publicity and sell themself... bunch of trolls imo :)
i lived in a happy place called ignorance.
ReplyDeleteabsorbing as little as possible about culture can make you seriously optimistic.
i have it but it came with the package for my cable internet. i only watch certain shows on certain days
ReplyDeleteWho the hell is Mr. Johnson??
ReplyDeletei don`t even have a tv :D
ReplyDeleteWe have Cable and all that hubba bubba but, I'm not the one who watches it, I will hold a conversation with someone but I'm not one who has much to talk about anyways.
ReplyDeleteoh cool
ReplyDeleteyou are right. it's a shame what society has become
ReplyDeleteI don't blame the media entirely. Although, It does keep the majority in a state of almost constant fear and paranoia.
ReplyDeleteNo problem.

ReplyDeleteThe media certainly has some degree of sway over all of its viewers. It is definitely a valid point to take under consideration.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could meet you in person so we could talk about the degradation...
ReplyDeleteno, not watching TV at all
you've got some good insight in this post :)
ReplyDeleteAll I have is a internet connection and I get my news from non-mainstream sources.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Showing some love
ReplyDeleteMedia sucks tbh, only thing media does is to mess people up. Making them afraid of stuff they shouldn't be afraid of and such..
ReplyDeletei don't think its the media. i think it's the fear of others and distrust...created by the media.
ReplyDeleteI rarely infest my brain with that nonsense spouted from the television. I select my programming either through internet surfing (hulu) or through careful recommendation of someone else. So, no.. I have no cable/satellite
ReplyDeleteNo TV/Cable here, the few shows i watch regularly i get online now
