Is Hyper-Mediation leading the decline of the West?

| The Imitation of Life? |
Some argue that the media is Western Culture, television and film, with all its various channels and organisations. They bring the achievements of the West to life and present them into our very homes or display them on the big screen. Drama in all its varied genres, documentaries, music, art, current affairs and news, are all accessible to everyone, there is a veritable glut of information and culture. However, along with all this mediated culture and information there is a corruption, a change away from the norms of Western Civilisation that was based on Christendom. The changes that happened in the last sixty years of hyper mediation many claim are for the best, a more liberal and fairer society. However, along with the attenuation of moral norms, it is also claimed by many there has been a decline in civilisation, of this hyper-mediation has amplified and glorified the extremity, the fringes of society and created a new ‘norm’.
This new norm is not functioning very well, as these innovations
in life styles and structures take over. There now appears in every walk of
life and function of society a general amplification of what has come to be known
as Woke, this has led to the fragmentation of society as the various tropes of
Wokeness do not support one another. Although there may have been a slight decline
in Pride parades, under the pressure of the media in all its forms the
continued dysfunction has continued with mass migration unchecked, new even
more liberal abortion laws are coming into play as is assisted suicide
