Abstract

Sex, sex, sex, and more sex. We're so egotistic in this country. I remember my adolescent issues teacher in high school raising a question to the class that still resonates with me: "Does the media dictate the people in society, or do people in society dictate the media?" Sitting in her classroom at first, I knew that the answer she would want sided with her blatant liberal bias. I didn't want the answer to the question to be her answer; I thought it was too easy to blame Fox, Ted Turner, Disney, and Viacom for telling me what's cool and what isn't, what's good for you, what's bad for you, what's truth and what's truth. Sadly enough, the answer's the former. To live in the Western world means our culture follows the philosophy of achievement (money, love, success, happiness). Indeed, we must continue blaming the CEOs, Halliburton, and advertisers for influencing our deep consciousnesses into thinking our lives should be run a certain way to do anything great. Men'll keep drinking beer to meet women and party, and women'll keep drinking Slim-Fast so they can have a self-esteem. We're a quick-fix nation, a "now" nation. But our "now" is the now of yearning, the now of what we think we should have in the future. Americans keep seeking external desires that will make us happythat will make us "feel good." That's what we all want deep down. To feel good. G-d bless the USA.
