Mass culture is a set of cultural phenomena of the twentieth century, characteristic of economics, management, leisure, communication, and especially for the sphere of artistic culture.

The intensive development of mass media and the era of electronic information have radically changed both the human environment in industrial and post-industrial society, and man himself. The entire population, regardless of national, class, or age characteristics, becomes familiar with the same information, and culture becomes mass. The characteristic features of mass culture are:

- accessibility, simplicity, ease of perception;

— sentimentality, dominance of the sensual principle;

- primitivization of human relations, playing on the basest feelings and impulses (even biological instincts);

- naturalistic relish of sex, violence, cruelty;

- cult of a strong personality, cult of success;

The world of mass culture has many faces. Its main genres are detective stories, comics, melodramas, musicals, horror films (thrillers) with fights, vampires, murders, erotica, sex, fantasy, pop music, sensational news, essays about witchcraft, fortune telling, miracles, mass entertainment performances - shows etc.

Despite its apparent vacuity, mass culture has a very clear ideological program and performs a number of social functions:

1) socialization and adaptation of a person to the conditions of a market economy.

2) relaxation (compensatory), which should ensure the psychological stability of the population in a difficult social situation;

3) dissemination and implementation of “modernization” patterns of behavior, norms, stereotypes;

4) dissemination and popularization of the classical heritage;

The fulfillment of its functions by mass culture suggests that this culture cannot be assessed unambiguously negatively.

“Mass culture” is a natural consequence of scientific and technological revolution, transforming culture into “planetary”. It not only does not reject the cultural heritage of the past, but makes its best examples by replicating and transferring it to the everyday level into the property of the broad masses.

By completing task 29, you can demonstrate your knowledge and skills on the content that is more attractive to you. To this end, choose only ONE of the statements below (29.1–29.5).

29.1

“It’s the reader who should reach the masses, not art.”
(Jerzy Lec, 20th century Polish philosopher and poet)

Answer:

Correct answer

The main idea of the quote.

The author expresses an idea about the main requirement for mass culture - to attract the mass reader to it, to meet the needs of people with different levels of training. By saying that culture should not be “mass”, he meant that it should not adapt to the tastes of the crowd, the masses, but should be highly artistic in order to be necessary, interesting and useful to society.

Terms.

Mass culture, features of mass culture, the spiritual sphere of society, functions of culture, moral principles, types of mass culture (TV series, bestsellers, shows, etc.)

Arguments.

1. A. Tvardovsky’s poem “Vasily Terkin”, its significance for soldiers during the Great Patriotic War (it instilled confidence in victory, helped withstand the most difficult tests, united people).

2. Encyclopedia for children “Avanta +”, volume “Culture”. An article about the features of mass culture, its positive and negative influence. It must be emphasized that mass culture should strive to raise the level of culture of the masses, and not adapt to them.

29.1

“No matter how long you live, you should study all your life.”
(Seneca, ancient Roman philosopher)

Answer:

Correct answer

The main idea of the quote.

The quote from the ancient Greek philosopher Seneca contains the idea of the need for continuous education. These words are very relevant in our age, the age of information technology, since only a constant increase in the level of knowledge, the desire to keep up with the times, especially in the area to which a person has devoted his work, will create conditions for complete self-realization of the individual.

Terms.

Culture, spiritual sphere, education, functions of education, levels of education in the Russian Federation, post-industrial society, modernization, innovation.

Arguments.

1. Textbook “Social Studies” edited by A.I. Kravchenko for high school. The paragraph on education not only notes its role in the life of society and lists its functions, but also pays special attention to the need for continuous education in the modern world. A feature of post-industrial society is precisely the need to constantly increase the level of education and knowledge in a particular area (Next you can give an example of any profession, for example, a doctor, to show how important it is to constantly study everything new in this area).

2. Encyclopedia for children “Avanta +”, volume “Technology”. The authors in the articles tell children of middle and high school age about the greatest achievements that have been made by man, emphasizing the idea that it is necessary to be an educated person, prepared for the changing conditions that occur in all spheres of society. And for this you need to constantly study.

29.1

“The role of the sciences is service; they constitute a means to achieve the good.”

(D.I. Mendeleev, Russian scientist.)

Answer:

Correct answer

The main idea of the quote.

The quote from the greatest Russian chemist D.I. Mendeleev contains an idea about one of the functions of sciences - their practical orientation. The author notes the “service” role of the sciences, because they are called upon to serve society, to satisfy its needs in all spheres of life

Terms.

Spiritual sphere, culture, applied and fundamental sciences, functions of science.

Arguments.

1. A book about K.E. Tsiolkovsky by M.S. Arlazorov from the series “The Life of Remarkable People.” The author, describing the scientific activities of this prominent scientist, the founder of theoretical cosmonautics, notes that K. Tsiolkovsky always strived to ensure that space exploration would benefit people. The scientist was called a science fiction writer by his contemporaries, so far were his plans. He dreamed of spreading life throughout the Universe. Activities of K.E. Tsiolkovsky is a vivid example of the fact that science should not only discover new, unknown things, but also serve people.

2.M. Bulgakov’s story “Heart of a Dog.” Describing the scientific and practical activities of the scientist Preobrazhensky, the author emphasizes the uselessness of his experiments, noting that there is no need to turn a dog into a person, that this will not be useful to society. Using the example of Sharikov, we see that the professor’s “discovery” only brought harm. To “serve” society, and not engage in useless experiments, is what people of science should do.
