Communication Law

The Comm Law Journal of The Indiana University School of Law has some really great articles; including many on media, TV, and politics. I especially liked the one entitled The Deregulatory Trend that began in the 1970's and how TV and regulations have slowly but surely been lifted.

So if television, radio, and general media regulations have been loosened, and violence, sexual and language content rules have relaxed, where does society draw the line? Our Pop culture is a false image of a perfect celebrity life style that is warping our generation.

In Samantha's blog she talks about celebrity pop culture icons and brands being symbols in our society. I like how in her previous blog she talks about shopping online at J crew and Polo. We live our daily lives conforming to the social image of being a consumer.

Bottom line - We are a slave to pop culture. Our speech, actions, life styles, eating habits and cloths as Americans depend on the media influence. So if the media influence goes down the tubes, wont we as a society? I think the downward spirl has already begun.
