imitating it or it us? TV --- Yes I understand that it is hard to conceive of that being art
Entertainment through mini plays --- competitions of dance or even sport -- art - the entertainment and reflection of society even when it is the dreams of a society's escapism
TV is the poor mans art -- available to the masses it is denied to very very few in our society

Name 3 nieghbors -- ( first name or just silently )
Name the nieghbors of Homer and Marge Simpson -- Family guys drinking buddy's and the bar they hang out in
Name the restaurant/bar you're work mates like to go to after work
--------------------
Are we imitating it --- or is it imitating us ?
Does it reflect our choices in clothes --- or do we reflect its choices in cloths
What about beauty or other issues ?
If our art fails to mirror us ---- are we doomed to mirror it ?
If so is that a little too much power for social engineers in the form of a handful of CEO's ? Not enough or just enough ?
Many psychologists believe that the subconscious mind is unable to tell the difference between a vividly imagined event and a real event
I will leave you to judge the merit of that conclusion for yourself ---
But --- if the statement is correct ---- How many things has TV and movies vividly imagined for you --- that the subconscious mind is unable to differentiate from reality ?
What evil could be performed by having the ability to control the content of the collective unconscious of millions upon millions of people? What good could be performed? Has the TV placed good things or bad things into the collective unconscious of the current society ?
