Does media-consciousness promote thoughts about heartbeat socialization (e.g., The Real World)?

America was a land of great daydreams and populism and pluralism. Celebrities were diplomats of a networking 'aesthetic' and they promoted patriotic institutions such as NASA and PBS. If media was to be a tower of idealism, then there would have to be a disclosure of fears and ambitions. Where was the magic?

Americans have always loved scandals and amazing stories. Imagine therefore a democratic America in which pedestrians and civil servants/politicians comprise a sort of 'idealism camp' where rhetoric blends with lifestyle (e.g., EWTN). A confluence of daydreams requires a focus on the tangibility of both danger and fashion. Where was the hyperbole?

Artists in the new age presented images of zany characters chasing impossible dreams and questing after strange powers. Comic books, fantasy-films, pornography, and even karaoke became hallmarks of pedestrian enchantment. There was of course censorship intrigue, WikiLeaks excitement, and lyrical graffiti. It was as if Camp America was coming together as a sort of 'insanity-fable.'

Racism is the enemy of confluence/pluralism, which is why journalism and fashion are so integral to discussions about democracy in the age of commerce. The presentation of images of exotic fashions, cuisine, and architecture therefore highlight an American interest in socialization-friendly storytelling (e.g., American Me).

Since media is about marketing, athletes can become like gods, and films about sports-culture (e.g., Jerry Maguire starring Tom Cruise) highlight a new age focus on commercialism. That's why 'Camp America' is really about patriotic fitness and news-criticism exercises.

Comic books have offered us zany superhumans with the ability to deform space and become bigger and smarter. These strange characters paint our imagination regarding an American yearning for 'crazy gods.' This is of course related to pluralism and the demand for entertainment that reaches a very broad and eccentric audience. However, is this all...an amusement park?

You might see a model of a village and reflect on the potential of democracy to create real social values oriented community building. We've progressed past the days of the Salem Witch Trials but still wrestle with new age juvenile behaviors such as celebrity-tabloids. The key is to find the right 'pitch' for socialization Utopianism (e.g., Picket Fences).

When we achieve great things in society, we then turn our attention to outer space and reflect on Reaganomics and Star Wars (the space-race) of the 'Big '80s.' How did pornography emerge as an expression of American interests in free-speech during a time of great consumerism emergence (e.g., MTV)? Why did Tom Cruise make a documentary about the International Space Station? Is America a negotiation of basic illusions?

TRUMP: I can't stand all this 'graffiti.'
CARTER: People today crave candy...
TRUMP: We have to sift through the noise/spam!
CARTER: 'Camp America' could be a discussion about 'dances.'
TRUMP: Well, Reagan envisioned something similar.
CARTER: However, Reaganomics is considered a 'frailty.'
TRUMP: Yes, we have to mix commerce with magazines.
CARTER: Are you a fan of National Geographic?
TRUMP: I prefer Popular Science.
CARTER: To entertain daydreams, consumerism must be 'folkloric.'
TRUMP: Comic books definitely promote 'pedestrian glitter.'
CARTER: I miss the early days of Star Trek.
TRUMP: That's been replaced by horror-cinema.
CARTER: I love films about NASA (e.g., Apollo 13).
TRUMP: Yes, NASA is a 'tower' of great sci-fi inspiration.
CARTER: Maybe NASA will be considered a 'storyteller's trophy.'
