Does media (and modern civilization) remind you of Noah?

Americans care about media and entertainment, but have they become obsessed with Facebook? Is this a 'modernism' scar on the human psyche?

American celebrities Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks were reading the radical Internet-blogs of a self-proclaimed vigilante named Ajay Satan who was writing about pornography/censorship in the age of media and the dismissal of 'classical gods' such as Medusa and Apollo. Cruise and Hanks were reminded of their own modernism-critique films Edge of Tomorrow and Angels & Demons.

American youngsters were exposed to all kinds of pluralism ideas in a pluralism-catering modern Internet and TV. They even purchased Ouija boards while Ouija-horror films were being made in America. Was this dangerous or progressive? You decide...

As high school students across the country attended summer school camps at Harvard and elsewhere, U.S. President Donald Trump noted that investments in education impacted America's overall perspective on destiny and future leadership, but would our capitalism-biased media (e.g., Bloomberg TV) create a 'breed' of Wall Street 'sharks' only?

As media 'diplomats' such as Cruise, Ajay Satan, and Hanks played around with modern media 'access' consciousness, a second 'brand' of 'Camp America' was taking shape which would cater more to pluralistic-dialogue and pedestrian daydreams (e.g., The People's Court, Everybody Loves Raymond, Vampirina, The Real World, etc.). The capitalism-philosopher and economics Adam Smith might have said, "Modern America, the America of the new millennium is one of 'great socialization labyrinths'!"

Americans might say we've become scarred and jaded by junk-food, eco-pollution, Facebook, MTV, Wall Street crimes, 9/11, racist Internet blogs, and political corruption. However, can we heal the scars so new age 'media diplomats' can turn lemons into lemon-pie? It's very disheartening when we look to our leaders and they're simply...uninterested.
