Abstract

The present article presents a critic to mass medias from the perspective s of the decline of authority, exacerbation of individualism, consumerism and the loss of the ethical and historical sense of life. Our argument is that the media, as comunication agent, should leave the value merely of change, instrumental and technical of the entertainment and try to diffuse culture and art in its full sense.
