killer culture blog
killer culture by david kupelian is an extreme example of what some see our culture coming to. I know we would all like to think that we are not as doomed as this article tells us we are, but we must realize how much the media affects us. I think it is important to a few extreme writers like kupelian to show us reality as it is. It is easyfor americans to forget how much time they spend watching tv a day-8 hours on average and we are exposed to so much imagery and stimulus during that time.the most interesting aspect I found in this article was that kupelian demonstrated that mtv virtually mirrors what average teenagers do and entice them into topping the last trend. There is no limit or grotesqe level that a teenager might go to in modern day america. There are certainly exceptions to the rule as always but the majority of american teens are turning into followers who have no self reservation.

i agree that this author's view may have been extreme, however he did make some convincing arguements.
ReplyDeleteThe author may be a little bit extreme, but I do believe that teenagers are influenced a lot by the media and what they are seeing on MTV. Children are really vulnerable during their teenage years and often look to the media to help them find their identity.
