while bored at work, I came up with a list of main ideological messages underlying American television. can you think of other ones? if there was one from British TV, would it be different?
1. everything is, and will be, OK (do not worry)
2. infinite expansion
3. trust the system
4. you are free (look at all the choices you have)
5. white people are awesome
6. all other ethnic groups act like white people
7. buying stuff makes you happy
8. no one is ever really sad and everyone is always happy
9. you and your ego are the center of the world
10. family is the most important thing in the world (after yourself)
11. bigger is better
12. competition is a virtue / winning is everything
