Paper Summary:
"This paper discusses the question of what has replaced television as the primary social text that serves as a unifying force in society, suggesting that there is no clear unifying force today and that a more fragmented society is one of the results, with broadcast television having had a wider appeal because there were fewer choices, while the number of choices today has fragmented the social order."From the Paper:
According to Danesi, the role of television as a primary cultural unifier in American society is changing. He states, "TV no longer has the same kind of `unifying power' to influence society as a group" (Danesi 194). This shift has been commented on by others as well as they note how at one time television served as a unifying force through the ubiquity of certain shows and images.More papers on Television and New Social Texts:
