Has American culture evolved, or is it slowly unraveling?
In Part Two of America on Trial, Tony Tidbit, Chris P. Reed, and MOB put American culture on the witness stand. They examine how social media, music, television, news, and online celebrities influence our children, relationships, values, and behavior.
The discussion asks whether social media builds community or exploits our need for validation. The panel also tackles parental responsibility, explicit entertainment, online conflict, declining trust in journalism, manufactured fame, and the difference between genuine friendship and digital popularity.
Is technology advancing society, or simply giving our worst instincts a larger platform?
