IMHO, what hurt western civilization the most is reality shows like Big Brothers,Survivor, Jackass, Celebrity show X or Z. Somehow these shows reward narcissism, individualism, greed, anti-social behavior, sexual, moral harassment and exploitation.
When MTV started to broadcast Jackass I knew a paradigm shift had happened.
People like to blame anything sort of things for our decline, but for me broadcasting that crap and accepting it as moral absolutely shaped the modern west.
Friends was just a funny sitcom that actually talked about friendship which is something positive, no matter how bad it handled that theme.
- k__ 10y agoI don't think these shows are the cause, but the result. Things go down the drain because babyboomers and generation X failed and people try to hold on stuff that is easier to aquire than wealth.
- liberte82 10y agoI think it's fair to argue that a result can also be a cause for further decline. Chicken and the egg.
