Culture of Mass Society

Chapter 4 in The Knowledge of Culture and the Culture of Knowledge, 2014, pp 78-110 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract All human progress is based upon the single notion of global culture that entails a different sense of identities, beliefs and realities. We all feel that a new order of civilization has taken form. We also dimly sense that this coming into being bears a significant weight in shaping our lives and formation of our cultural cognitions. Within an instant of evolutionary time, thousands of years of human endeavor began to converge into a single monolithic description that covers all human activity. This monolithic transformation would eventually oblige all of us to replace our ready-made garments of rites and traditions for the custom-made costumes of habits and thoughts, which in itself is indicative of an underlying dynamic that ultimately constitutes the basis of new patterns of norms and inclinations.1
