General Analysis
ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death delves into the significant transformation of public discourse in America. The book contrasts the historical dominance of print, which fostered a culture of reason and coherent thought, with the rise of television, where entertainment has become the overarching principle of communication. Postman examines how this fundamental shift in media affects vital aspects of society, including politics, religion, education, and news. He argues that the inherent characteristics of television prioritize immediate gratification and visual spectacle, potentially undermining the depth and seriousness of public engagement with important issues.
