- Disapproved Idea: Cultural Chaos is contributed by
- Loss of the support of objectively established religion
- The dissolution of the last remnants of pre-capitalism
- Technological and social differentiation or specialisation
- The city housing projects designed to perpetuate the individual as a supposedly
independent unit in a small hygienic dwelling make him all the more subservient to his

- Because they are drawn into the center in search of work and pleasure
- Under monopoly all mass culture is identical
- The stanec technology has in the society is like that of mass culture these days, where
it's in a constant circle of manipulation and retroactive need in which the unity of the
system grows even stronger. You win in today’s society (whether it be culture or
technology by achieving standardisation and mass production)
- The motive in the these big industries is not the please the general public. The people on
the top pyramid will not sanction anything that in any way differs from their own rules,
their own ideas about consumers. Unlike cultural monopolies, these big industries are
independent of each other.

their holders of power).
- A person looking at the TV has to accept what the culture manufacturers offer him

this jargoon or not, they are not restricted by anything.
- That creativity lies not in conforming to the norm but rather embodied by those who used
style as a way of hardening themselves against the chaotic expression of suffering
- cultural industrial maintains power and sameness through style and form. They
claim that the “promise of the work of art to create truth” through a particular
form is already a bit misguided, as all forms are contingent on societal and
cultural norms
- The idea of sameness ostracizes real art and artists
