Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business by Neil Postman

challenging sad fast-paced

We have lost the art of learning, and the age of documentaries and easily consumable content has hurt the common man’s ability to reason and politic as he once did. There is a striking image of people at the Gettysburg address being well versed in our country’s history and societal focuses, vs in the time the book was written the following of image politicians. We see this even more so than before this book was written (in the age of television) that disinformation is rampant with sensationalized news for what people will latch onto without knowing the facts.
