Anti-social messages? I see plenty of anti-authority messages from advertisers trying to tap into adolescent rage and confusion, but don't see many anti-social messages.
The way you phrase the question in the title makes it sound as though you percieve culture as a force we are unable to control, when in fact we mold culture as it molds us. Not to the same degree, by far: Most of the molding is done by those same advertisers, rather than by politicians and artists.
I think the direction of culture and how we percieve it is unduly warped by the ad industry, and unduly warped by a Hollywood movie and sitcom machine, but I see more of a disassociation from reality than a diminishment of parenting and family values.
Could you elaborate on "entertainment theory"? I feel like I'm just getting a summary of your journal ideas, because things feel a little sketchy here
