当代美国文化与电视

TV media and American popular culture

电视、购物中心和赌博成为美国当代商业文化的三大代表产物。作为大众传媒工具 ,当代美国电视早已将自己的势力范围从传统的文娱节目扩张到意识形态、心理学、社会学等领域 ,并深刻影响到美国生活方式的方方面面。然而 ,美国电视所呈现的世界远非真实、客观的 ,而是经过某种“精心包装”的、扭曲的甚至虚幻的东西。

The TV, mall and gambling are the result of American commerial culture. The American TV media of the age, as a tool of mass communication, expands its domain from traditional entertainments to ideology, psychology, sociology, techology, etc. and produces a profund effect on every aspect of American life. However, what the American TV presents is just something packed up, distorted and illusionary.
