Product Description

Where did popular culture come from? Why is it the way it is? How does it influence Americans in general and Christians in particular? Ken Myers provides fascinating answers to these questions. He sees pop culture as a culture of diversion, preventing people from asking questions about their origin, destiny, and the meaning of life. Myers’ theories are based upon the idea of two primary social motivators: 1) a quest for novelty and a desire for instant gratification and 2) the illusion that individuals set their own standards.
