Complexities are within modern use and meaning of a word
Cultural production can be dominated through ideologies- i.e. giving culture to 'savages'
Coining new words to describe new situations- e.g. macdonaldisation for modern globalisation
'electronic age' has begun to bring people together but has not established a 'global village'
Manfred B. Steger
- Globalisation: a very sort introduction
Globalisation can be seen as killing non western cultures and replacing -cultural imperialism
Western values- not the same as British- British values v Trump
Find cultural forms to fight back - visual culture
The culture industry is designed to keep the status quo and maintain order
Authentic culture has different qualities (comfort of being happily pacified is representative of mass culture)
-Authentic is real, multi-dimensional, imaginative
-Active over passive
Mass culture feeds itself- ensures people stay passive to avoid change
Platos Cave
Class culture establishes alienating bodies of people
When parent cultures don't look after everyone, sub-cultures arise
- either aggressively against or co-existing
Don McCullin
Pop culture can be used to be radical
